“Best South Indian and Sri Lanka food in the area. Prefer a take away and eating in the comfort of your home. Simple, freshly cooked affordable South Indian food and no frills attached 🙌🏾”
- Chamudi Kavithya
“We ordered lamprais but received what was essentially just rice and curry with a huge amount of lamb. They weren’t even asked about our preference for lamb. Taste is fine. But overall disappointed.. The curries were insufficient, and the portion felt unbalanced. Unfortunately, it didn’t feel worth the money we spent. We visited based on a recommendation, but left disappointed. Sadly, we won’t be returning for a second time.”
