Hidden little gem in a plaza that looks uninviting on the outside but very cozy on the inside and serves authentic, large portion dishes. I ordered for pick up on Uber eats as they had a BOGO promotion on a variety of different combos. So, my boyfriend and I chose the chicken tikka masala that came with plain naan for only $18 for 2. The taste matched the amazing price point. The sauce was super rich and creamy with a hint of sweetness + tanginess and medium heat then topped with the well balanced spices that come along with Indian dishes. However, it was the service that caught my attention and triggered my desire to promote the business even more. I want to say it was the owner that had such a welcoming & kind character to him. When I ordered from here before, the combos used to come with drinks so I assumed the same with ordering this time around. We asked if they had forgotten our sodas and he softly explained "oh, I'm sorry. That was the old promotion we used to do but I don't mind giving you guys sodas. Thanks for being returning customers" with a sweet smile.Don't forget to support small businesses - this one is definitely a big worth it in my books!

EXCEPTIONAL 5/5 I was here with a party of 3 for dinner on 11/13/23. Walk-ins were welcome, reservations not needed (but you may call ahead because there are only 3 tables available for dine-in). Free parking in front of the restaurant and plenty of street parking around. This is an authentic Sri Lankan restaurant with a friendly Sri Lankan owner and chef. They serve amazing Sri Lankan food (and traditional Indian food). I tried the Fried Rice, Sri Lankan "Rice and Curry" Plate, Lamb Biriyani, Fish Curry, Vegetable Curry, and Chicken Curry. An individual rice dish is enough for 3 people (but we didn't know that when we ordered three rice dishes and we ended up having leftovers for lunch and dinner the next day). The curries had that authentic Sri Lankan taste to it. Food was less oily than at other restaurants (making it healthier). This place is in high demand on Ubereats/DoorDash because there were so many drivers that walked in to pick up orders while we were dining. There aren't any Sri lankan restaurants on the east side so I highly recommend hidden gem!

Fresh & food portions are good. Great value. The flavors burst in your mouth with every bite. I'm going again today. I recommend to every to get the Egg RollDeep fried rolled up fish & veggie mixture with egg. I've never had anything like it. So delicious. The biriyani is tasty. I'm gonna try everything on the menu. Staff is excellent.

Ordered takeout from here and it was very good. I've not been to Sri Lanka and it was nice to have the different flavors in the curries. It reminded me a bit of Nepali food--milder than Indian and with unique spice profiles. Green beans, and jackfruit were delicious. The yellow dal was outstanding. Couldn't identify what made it unique but it tasted like comfort food to me. We also ordered saag paneer--it was much better than most Indian restaurants serve and full of paneer. Delicious. The fried tuna egg roll isn't quite my thing but wanted to try it and it was interesting. Definitely looking forward to trying more of what's on their menu and dining in.

A friend of mine found this place and we decided to try it out yesterday. It's hard to find Sri Lankan restaurants around LA so we were really excited. Items we ordered: 1) coconut roti 2) Sri Lankan tuna fish curry 3) Sri Lankan traditional rice plate 4) fish buns 5) fish rolls 6) fish Patty7) butter chicken 8) Beetroot curry Every single item was REALLY flavorful. The curries were amazing! Customer service was excellent. Our order took longer than expected to be ready but oh that wait was totally worth it!!! It's a small place run by a very nice family. They are available on Postmates/door dash and grubhub (I think). Try this place!!

Butter chicken was way too sweet, couldn't finish it because of how sweet it was. Portions were small as well. Got the buy one get one free and both were basically one portion.

My first and only time so far. I can only review their vegetarian items. DELICIOUS! My belly is happy!I reckon this is the place that will be featured in 30 years or so as an ethnic restaurant with a storied history and American dream. Great group of people. Give them a go.

Don't let the modest exterior fool you: this is one of the best Indian restaurants in L.A. The classic Indian vegetarian dishes such as the sag paneer and aloo gobi are delicious, but my favorites are the lentil curry and the beet curry. Keep in mind that cooking these meals can't be rushed, so order 1 hour ahead of time if you are planning to order for pick up.

Ordered for delivery received an edible food. Everything was disgusting and ordered mild and received extremely spicy food, and was missing items. I ordered also did not match descriptions.
