| - For those of you who have never had Sri Lankan food before - They love to have their food spicy.
Food:
We ordered Plain Hopper, Veggie Rolls, Masala Dosai and Vegetarian Plate.
Plain Hopper: The plain hopper was almost exactly like a Dosa (Rice Crepe) but it was in a shape of a bowl. I am not a 100% certain but it had a hint of sweetness to it, so I'm assuming they add a little sugar to their Dosa batter for these hoppers, this hopper was useful to reduce the fire caused in my mouth from the vegetarian plate.
Veggie Rolls: Veggie rolls were mashed potatoes with various spices, turmeric that was deep fried in a bread batter, the inside tasted almost exactly like Masala Dosai filling. These rolls were fairly spicy, they served it with a hot ketchup!! I wouldn't order this one again until I build up some more steel plates on my tongue to handle the heat, but my partner who can handle much hotter foods enjoyed it.
Masala Dosai: I love south indian food and I have had masala dosa at many restaurants in the past. The one from here was excellent, it was more oily than what I am used to but it was still yummy. The chutneys that this was served with was just awesome, there was this red coconut chutney that was very flavourful. The filling was a potato filing and the Sambar served with it had actual whole cooked lentils in it which was an interesting texture, usually Sambar is served with lentils completely mashed up. I enjoyed this one very much and I would order it again. This was a main course that I ordered that wasn't spicy compared to everything else that we ate.
Vegetarian Plate: Serving size of this plate was massive, it could easily feed two people. It came on a stainless steel plate all wrapped up in a wax brown paper in the shape of a square. The brown paper is the same one used by butchers! When we unwrapped the brown paper there was a banana leaf with all the food wrapped inside it. Once we unwrapped the banana leaf, all the different dishes were mixed in served on a bed of rice. There was a potato dish, a veggie dish that appeared to be made of flat green beans, a dish with some coconut powder in it and a lentil dish. It was very spicy but there was rice that I was using to mix in to reduce the heat. The experience of eating on a banana leaf made ordering this worth while, I would order this again but I would share this with another person.
Drinks:
Chai: I wanted a chai, I have ordered a chai at a Sri Lankan restaurant before and it was nice and spicy, but the one here was just a tea bag served with hot water, milk and sugar. I was a little disappointed that it was not authentic where it is steeped with a mix of ginger and spices.
Ambiance:
For the price that you pay the ambiance was alright. The place is bright, so not good for a romantic dinner, plus the spicy food might have you breathing fire at your date, depending on what you order. The chairs could've been more comfy, but I'm not fussy about that stuff I was here for the food. When you enter this place it almost looks like a bakery with this huge display case in front, only in behind the display case is all the awesome Sri Lankan food that they offer, if you would like to be seated there is a walkway to the left that leads you into their dining area. Table was set when we arrived and we did not have to wait for a table, the dinner napkins are paper but were nice and thick.
Bathrooms:
The washroom was clean, which is what I like to see because if a washroom is dirty I think the kitchen would be in the same condition. They have a hand wash station next to the washrooms because a lot of people eat with their hands, so if you enjoy that it is recommended that you wash your hands before and after your meal.
Service:
Service was fast and they offered suggestions when we asked. Our server kept our glasses of water filled as required which was important for me as I'm not used to the spice level in the stuff that I ordered.
Parking:
There is plenty free parking available in the parking lot right at the front of this restaurant.
