"I love this place and have had the impressive vegan options on the menu. As a South Indian, I am generally curious to know how cuisines of regions around Kerala tastes like. And Colombo kitchen was the best way to get to know proper Sri Lankan Cuisine. Absolutely loved the unique Aubergine Moju, the hoppers, Dal, rice, gothambu wheat) roti we call them porotta in Kerala), stir fried beans and many more. It is brilliant what's on offer for vegans. I can only imagine how good their non vegan dishes would be. Ever since COVID 19 struck, we have been ordering take away and the quality of food has been absolutely first class every single time! This one time, however, we noticed that the jackfruit curry had a bit too much of oil in it, unsure why this happened and I hope this doesn't happen again. It was almost like the dish was inviting the United States for an invasion. We had to wipe off several table spoons of oil before we finally washed those plastic takeaway boxes. It was a lot for the dish, totally disproportionate. I am sure this is a one-off mistake and you probably, hurried up the cooking due to Friday evening madness. Now, would this stop me from ordering from here? No, it definitely will not stop me from ordering food from my favourite Sri Lankan place. We all make mistakes and I know this place is authentic and sincere and their love for cooking authentic delicious food, shows in their dishes! Please keep up the great work guys. We love what you do which is why take time to give you constructive feedback. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian and vegan lampraise. I am still unsure if they used paneer in the vegan lampraise."

"This is an honest and fair review Me and my partner came here on Saturday evening. This was our first time coming here, having lived in herne bay for 20+ years in quite surprised I haven't been before. But I must say, we was both left feeling disappointed. The food was good and so was the service , but the whole restaurant seriously lacks finesse. Where we was sat all you could see was the buildings from outside , which aren't the nicest looking buildings. So that instantly reminds you that you’re in the middle of town that is very run down. There was music on, but was so quiet and was like spa music (where’s the theme in this place? my gin and my partners beer both came in a tumbler glass, our meals was brought to us one by one just in hand (no tray? Or serving table you see where I’m going with this? Point is, it felt like we was sat in a cafe eating a dinner. I can’t understand what the theme of this place is? There is no theme. Such small adjustments to this place would change the game! • Proper glasses for the right drinks • Thai , Chinese style music • take the frosted glass on the window all the way up so you feel your somewhere else and not looking at those buildings • plants , Chinese Thai ornaments something to resemble the theme • candles on tables , meals brought with finesse etc etc etc. Other than this; everyone was really polite and friendly and food was good. But because of the reasons I have said I wouldn’t spend money on this place again. UNLESS it was to make adjustments. I really hope this review helps the business and takes this on board."

"This was our first experience eating in a few weeks ago and I couldn’t feel more uncomfortable when we entered. A very rude and disrespectful woman, short blondish hair), she looked like the owner. She looked at me up and down and failed to say hello- a look of why we were there. When I told her I had a reservation- she was stunned and was very dismissive and after I said we made a reservation she was rather perplexed. We were sat to the table and given one menu to start with. they had a large group dining too- so took up all the menus). There was a nice gentleman who I believe took our booking who was friendly- that’s your lot! Upon ordering, I had forgotten to order a small portion of egg fried rice and when I asked to place an order, the waitress who took our order snapped and said it will take a “long time”. It was for my 3 year old- rice is a staple dish, which does not involve extensive cooking also pre cooked) I found this pretty unreasonable, how could you deny a child food- they didn’t want us there. The food in general was good- however the staff and ambience was abysmal. As an owner, you should be welcoming and friendly- the woman who greeted us- was far from this. She did not want our business as she was seen to pander to the large group of customers she had in the restaurant. A real shame, given this could have been our new local. Note the owner: don’t dismiss people who are coming to your restaurant, we are the people who keep your restaurant going. I would really score this no stars for service or ambience.

"I have been wanting to visit here for ages but the stars have never aligned until Saturday. We were extremely lucky to get a walk in for the two of us. We were greeted by the owner and shown to a table. As we didn't have any drinks with us Peter suggested Tesco a few doors down and I was able to grab a bottle to enjoy with the meal. The service was wonderful and friendly and it felt like we had been going there for years, with just the right amount of care and advice. The food was exceptional from start to finish. We had the chicken satay and spring rolls to start and they were beautiful. The satay was amazing and was much darker in colour than any I have had before, but much better in flavour than any I have had before, I would definitely have these again. For main I had a chicken rendang and my wife ordered gule monkfish. The rendang was again perfect for my tastes. Spicy but flavourful with a generous portion that would satisfy the majority of eaters. I would have had seconds, even though I was stuffed because it was so good. I can't comment too much on the monkfish as I have a dislike of seafood, but my wife raved about it and said she's having the same again next time without question. So I think that sums it up. We finished with deserts of a rice pudding dish I think was called bubar, which was black rice and coconut, and the second dish we ordered was a Banana coconut pancake to which I forget the name. Again I couldn't find fault if I tried another 10 out of 10. At the end of the meal we met owner and chef Ami, who came to chat. It was lovely speaking to the owners and their passion for the food and customer service was clear. We cannot wait until our next visit"
