Had a beautiful birthday meal here, the food was very authentic (coming from Sri Lankans) the beef was hot but kept going back for more. The kingfish special was exceptional as well as the eggplant. The restaurant is very ambient, and high touch service. We bought a cake which they kindly catered for and didn’t charge (unheard of these days!) thank you for a lovely evening.
