Secondly, if you are looking for something different, I recommend making a stop here. Thirdly, if you cannot tolerate spicy food, don't come here. If you love spicy food, not coming here is your loss.\n\nThe food: where do I start? Except for curry and buriyani, the menu is full of items that I have never heard of. We ordered mutton kothu and chicken string hopper kothu, both at mild spiciness. Both dishes were deviously flavourful, spicy, not salty and not oily. There was an amazing balance of flavour and spices without making it salty. The mutton tasted interesting at first bite, but the spiciness accumulated at every successive bite. At fifth bite, my BF reached for a cold sweet drink. The chicken string hopper kothu was mildly spicy by comparison. We had a crab vadai appetizer. It tasted fresh and mildly spicy. I also had a Coriander tea, and it was very fragrant but a tart too sweet for my taste. \n\nThe service was exceptionally attentive. The waitress went through the menu with us page by page, explaining the dishes. She returned to ask what we thought about the food, and if there was anything that needed improvement. They seemed to be eager to have feedback and to learn.\n\nThe interior design is clean, basic, but pleasant. There are many paintings on the wall that, according to the restaurant's website, are available for sale. \n\nIn all, this is not an expensive, high end restaurant, but the food is unique, delicious, fresh and unapologetically authentic. If you are tired of Thai, Indian, Korean and northern Chinese food, I recommend you to visit Ceylon Flavor."^^ . . .
