We stopped by this restaurant for lunch on 24th April 2025 and ordered a Roast Chicken Kotthu, Nasi Goreng, and Lump Rice. We were honestly shocked by the portion sizes—in the best way! This was the first time we’ve seen a Sri Lankan restaurant where one dish was more than enough for two adults. We only managed to finish two dishes and took the third home.
The taste? Absolutely unmatchable. I don’t think I’m creative enough to express just how happy we were. The food had that authentic, homemade taste that brought back memories—and I can confidently say none of the big names in Melbourne come close to the talent here.
We were so delighted, we even ordered dinner from the same place later that day! And because we felt so grateful, my wife asked the friendly staff at the counter if we could meet the chef. A couple of minutes later, we were lucky enough to meet Nirmala—the incredible person behind the food that made our day (and especially our kids’ day). Nirmala, you have truly blessed hands.
We’ve never felt this satisfied with a food experience in Melbourne. Thank you so much! This place is highly recommended to anyone who wants to try authentic Lankan cuisine.

This place is all about the food and it is great. Plenty of it and lots of flavour. Absolutely fantastic. The place lacks in the finishing details. Table cloths plastic with some torn corners. An untidy appearance could turn some off but it is clean and the food is wonderful and the price is fair. Will definitely go back.
