Generally very muted flavors, except for the beef which is very heavy on either corriander or cardamom. Perhaps Sri Lankan food is less flavorful than Indian. Being used to Indian or Thai, we were baffled to the point of taking a spoon full of each curry sauce and trying to figure out why it was so muted (like eating Indian food with a cold) not just not hot and spicy.

Probably some of the best naan and roti Ive had in a long time. The garlic in the naan is baked into the bread instead of just on top. I came with one other person and we shared one of the combos. The combo plus the naan and roti was plenty for us. All the items were pretty good, but still the naan and roti were my favorites.

Food and service was excellent. Must try it if you want to eat healthy and have a nice atmosphere. The place was very clean and inviting. Empty for a Friday night. I think its because nobody really knows its there. We had been looking for it and drove past it many times. Definitely going back.

I love this place! The food is diverse and Very tasty. South Asian, so similar to Indian with a twist. Great for both vegans and meat eaters. Atmosphere is casual, though I generally take out. The 2 people who run the place are very friendly, so the entire experience is great.

We went in late evening but both the Husband and the Wife who runs the place served every food item we ordered. Coming from Sri Lanka and having a guest who was visiting USA from Sri Lanka we enjoyed the food very much and it taste like home. Thank you.

Excellently prepared and delicious Sri Lankan food. It was a unique dining experience for me. They do seem understaffed. I saw one table go uncleaned for hours with the last partys leftover food on it. I would definitely reccommend checking it out.

Pros: Decor, good (not great) vegan dishes, attached Jazz club. Cons: inexperienced hosts/waiters: "this seat is reserved for larger groups" (8:30pm, lightly occupied restaurant), "let me check with the kitchen". Bottom line: its OK.
