Traditional Sri-Lankan food (delicious curries, tasty kotthu and of course amazing hoppers!!) served in a nicely decorated place with a very friendly service.One of the best Sri-Lankan restaurant I have been, definitely worth it a stop!

Such a tasty meal which took us back to Sri Lanka ? (although this was definitely spicier ).We had to sit in their outdoor awning as we brought two dogs. The atmosphere wasn't ideal out there as their speakers weren't working and their heater was very loud ?We did get forgotten about a couple of times, but the food made up for it ?The homemade roti was ?The order:Vegetable rolls - £5.80Egg hopper - £5.20Pol roti - £5.40Godhamba roti - £5.40Chicken thigh rascal - £6.40Devilled chicken - £13.603 curry deal - £14.25 (suchhhh good value)Caramelised pineapple - £6.50Chaminda - £6.20Visited March 2024

The kothu is one of the best things I've ever eaten. Love it here.

We ordered a selection of foods to try as it was my first time in an authentic Srilankan place. I enjoyed all of them. The flavours were new and interesting. The food was warm and delicious. I will say, the portion size is on par with the ones in Mowgli - a restaurant known for tapas style meals. So for the very small size of the dishes I felt the prices on the menu were a bit high. But our experience with the service and the taste of the food itself was very good. We may be going back again.

I lived in Sri Lanka for five years and this place reminds me of my favorite restaurants back in Colombo.Excellent, especially the biryani, kottu and the eggplant dish.

We had a wonderful morning at one of cookery courses run by the manager Sam who was very interesting and interested in us. A wealth of knowledge and great patience. Sam was generous with his time and the amount of food. Highly recommend the cookery course -we ended up sharing the ample food with our family. The dishes were delicious and we will be back to sample more of the food in the restaurant. Look forward to spending time at the Rangala hotel in Sri Lanka in March .

Food was good and seemed like an authentic Sri Lankan place. There was an item which we ordered which wasn't available and the space itself is also slightly small and crowded but apart from that, would highly recommend trying this out!

Food was really tasty but portions are tiny and expensive! Don’t go if you’re

I dropped in without a booking and was made to feel really welcome. The person with me said how he would recommend it to his friends locally. He could tell and appreciate the difference between the Sri Lankan cuisine and the more northern Indian food he would have enjoyed otherwise.It's well worth a visit. Thank you Sam!Vegetarian options: Vegan as well as vegetarian clearly marked.
