| - I came here in search of Sinhalese food and was not disappointed. The owners are from southern Sri Lanka and had dishes made from many of the same vegetables I remember from my time in Kandy which I have had a hard time finding elsewhere such as ash plantain (aka ash banana), bread fruit, both kinds of jack fruit, plus at least a dozen other vegetables such as okra, green beans, pumpkin, cabbage, and eggplant.
You can get six veggie curries with rice for $8 or $9. The curries are coconut milk based and have a different spice profile than Indian or Thai food.
The veggie dishes were excellent and the coconut roti was to die for. When I asked if they had pol roti (coconut roti) the owner asked me how I knew about it. I told him about my time in Sri Lanka and then he brought us extra dishes to try, like eggplant pickles.
This place also boasts the only authentic lamprais but I don't eat meat, so I can't tell you about that.
The owners are great, the prices are more than fair, and the food is delicious.
This is primarily a take out joint but there are two tables. Also, it's a bakery so you can enjoy your meal surrounded by models of wedding cakes and ornate birthday cakes.
