The food was incredible, the staff were welcoming, and the atmosphere was perfect for a relaxing meal. Everything from the curries to the finger foods was top-notch. One of the best Sri Lankan dining experiences in Perth!

The food here truly took me back to Sri Lanka! ???????? Every bite was full of authentic flavour, the curries, hoppers, koththu and string hoppers tasted just like home. And also finger foods are sooo good. The aroma, spices, and presentation were absolutely perfect. It’s rare to find a place that captures the real essence of Sri Lankan cooking, but this restaurant does it beautifully. A must visit for anyone who misses the genuine taste of Sri Lanka!

This Sri Lankan restaurant offers a wide variety of traditional dishes, accompanied by excellent condiments, including a vibrant coconut chili sambol, a flavorful nut condiment, and crisp papadums. The menu features goat curry, beef curry, chicken curry, and a particularly spicy pork curry. However, one notable limitation is the relatively narrow flavor range, as most of the curries tend to taste quite similar, with the pork curry standing out as a welcome exception. The mixed vegetable curry, by contrast, was outstanding—well-balanced and richly seasoned. The salads, though difficult to name, were fresh and enjoyable. A selection of yellow rice, fried rice, and plain white rice complements the curries. They also offer a range of baked and fried items such as Fish Bun, Sausage Bun, Chimmy Sambal Bun, a Fish Roll, a Meat Roll, and a Fish and Egg Patty among others all priced at 3$ a piece. Additionally, they have something called a Sweet Bun. It is worth noting that these baked and fried goodies are not included in the buffet. The buffet spread is attractively priced at $22 at lunchtime and $25 for dinner (1 more meat and hoppers/kothu/string hoppers etc, offering good value for the variety and quality of food available. You can also do take away priced at $2.60/100g ($3.50/100g for chicken) and $4 /100g for meat. The curry pack is $16.50 for 650g which can be picked up on Sunday afternoon. In summary, while the curries may lack distinct variation, the overall offering, particularly the condiments, vegetable dishes, and savory pastries, makes for an enjoyable and reasonably priced dining experience.

What an incredible experience! The flavours instantly reminded me of home in Sri Lanka. Every dish tasted freshly made with real Sri Lankan authenticity. The aroma of the curries and the soft, crispy hoppers brought back so many memories. The finger foods here are absolutely amazing! Everyone must try all the varieties, they’re absolutely incredible! Honestly, the taste is even better than what I’ve had in Sri Lanka. Truly one of the best Sri Lankan meals I’ve had abroad. Highly recommended for anyone who loves real Sri Lankan cuisine!

We ordered catering for my wife's birthday to feed nearly 100 people. The food was delicious and well price, with a lot of the guests asking where we got the food from. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly in helping us organise the food for this event, helping us get a variety of options for our guests. The food in the restaurant is also tasty on any day we decide to go. Overall I would highly recommend ordering and eating from here, and would love to do business with them once again.
