"As a British Sri Lankan with a penchant for food from the homeland , I made the trip out to Central London specifically to eat here. There was only the Sunday buffet option that afternoon. It wasn 't a magnificent banquet, but there was an ample selection of curries etc. and plenty of it. The food wasn 't the tastiest Sri Lankan fare I 've sampled (eclectic as it, the food at Hoppers probably tastes nicer), but the food here is more authentic. The owner, who was there, is extremely genial and hospitable, and looked after us personally. It 's just a slightly drab experience. The restaurant, itself, needs a face-lift. There seemed to old newspapers littering the entrance to the kitchen, so not creating a very professional or attractive image. There 's lots of very sleek and modern restaurants in Sri Lanka, especially in Colombo, serving top notch food, so these guys should up their game too. I am a bit bemused why this place is just so mediocre, given its prestigious location (Queen 's neighbour) and around the corner from the Goring etc. Would I go out specially to eat out here in the future? Probably not, but would equally drop-by to try their a la carte on a weekday, if I am passing that way, and there was no invitation from Buckingham Palace!"

The food at this restaurant is fantastic. You must try the eiertrichter and hühnerbiryani.

The fantastic Sri Lankan cuisine at this restaurant brought back memories of our travels around Sri Lanka. The service was excellent and the staff were very friendly. We will definitely be returning.

We were pleased to find this recently opened Sri Lankan restaurant in the heart of London and near to Buckingham Palace. The food was very authentic and tasty. The service attentive and new management keen to help and learn from their clientele. It was excellent value. I wish the new owner success in his new restaurant.

a lot of experience, avoid them at all costs! we booked a table, but the owner hardly let us in, as he said they were closed. After we had waited almost an hour for our meal, we received a microwave!!! and really bad quality eat. the service is slow and eating is terrible, would never recommend to anyone and can not even understand how the place can even be open.

Our experience at this restaurant was very disappointing. We had to wait an hour and a half for our food, and when it finally arrived, the fish curry was made with tinned tuna that was still in the shape of the can. The bottle of wine we ordered seemed to be reused, as the label was dirty, it wasn't opened in front of us, and it wasn't full. The wine also didn't taste like the one we had ordered. This was especially disappointing for us, as we had just returned from a trip to Sri Lanka and were craving authentic Sri Lankan cuisine.

We were extremely disappointed with our experience at this restaurant. We had to wait thirty minutes for our food, and when it arrived, the fish dish was served straight from a tin, still in its cylindrical shape. Additionally, the bottle of wine we ordered seemed to be reused, as it had a dirty label, was not fully opened in front of us, was not filled to the top, and did not taste like the variety we had selected. This was especially disappointing as we had recently returned from a trip to Sri Lanka and were craving authentic Sri Lankan cuisine.
