The chickpea and eggplant was the standout for me. It was open in the morning and it’s pretty cheap for what you get. For $14 for 5 curry choices the weight of it was heavy it could probably be enough to feed a family!! Highly Recommended

It was a really good breakfast, We had Masala dosa, accompanied with sambar and 2 type of delicious coconut chutneys. You can do takeaway also. They have plenty of south indian breakfast. Price is really genuine 1 Masala Dosa and 1can of Coconut water for just $15. The portion of Dosa was also big enough to fill up the appetite 1 person easily.

Very good Sri Lankan style vegetarian restaurant, main focus on take aways . Small seatings capacity for 10 people only. Very delicious Srilankan Tamil cuisine and reasonably priced in Sydney. Best place for Sri Lankan Tamil food lovers in Sydney, don’t expect a good atmosphere and seatings as restaurants

Food is very good. Limited sitting area. Will visit again to try more food items. Sambar was not too spicy which was good. Took takeaway a few sweet snacks items.

Felt like being in a cafe in Colombo, we had Kottu Roti, Jaffna Dosa, and a couple of teas. Everything was perfect including the care and friendliness of staff and the Sri Lankan customers.

“This hearty vegetarian meal, priced at just reasonable comes in a big, satisfying portion featuring five varieties of fresh vegetables, flavorful rasam, crispy appalam, cool and creamy yogurt, and spicy chili. It’s beautifully balanced with a touch of sweetness from payasam, and—because it’s Friday—you also get warm, comforting ponggal. Packed with savory, authentic flavors, this meal is delicious, wholesome, and truly worth every dollar.”
