"OMG! This place is a hidden gem in Cheltenham. I've got a chance to visit the place accidently while I was in cheltenham and TBH this is the best of the best Sri Lankan restaurant in UK. First of the atmosphere is very cozy and gives true Sri Lankan vibes. With the decor it's increased furthermore. The service was above and beyond. Floor staff was very quick and highly supportive when I asked about the food and the choices. Specially Thilini and Eva (as I can remember) was very knowledgeable about the ingredients and process of how the food are made and they both have amazing customer service skills. Finally the food. As a Sri Lankan I can personally guarantee the food is way better than the ones we are getting in Sri Lanka. My taste buds literally blown away. Precisely mixed with curries and spices. Not even a single bit wrong. Their chicken kottu is a must try dish. And also the hot butter cuttlefish is something I've never expected. It had buttery flavor with bit of spiciness. And the hopper is something out of this world. Hopper comes with three small curry ish things to eat with (coconut sambol, onion sambol, lunu miris made with chili) . Main thing is the food and service you get in here is truly worth for the money. And also they have awesome cocktail range to try. Make sure to book a table before you visit this place since as I heard this is almost housefull everyday. This was the first time I felt like I was In my home country after I come to the UK. Must visit place and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Dietary restrictions: You can always ask from the staff about allergies and food ingredients.
