Kandy offers a culinary journey unlike any other. From the elegant ambiance to the impeccable service, every moment is a delight. Had Lamprais and Chicken Kottu which was fantastic. Dessert was watalappam and that was mouth watering. This hidden gem is a must-visit for food lovers seeking a memorable dining experience. Can park your vehicle nearby car park.Parking: Parking available next to weather spoon restaurant

We as a family of 4 visited this place a couple of months ago for the vegan buffet. I will be truly honest here. Food was pathetic. Other than the pakodas, nothing was worth eating as well. They did something wrong with a simple daal and aloo sabzi. There was some issues with their condiments/spices &/or the oil they have used. It was practically smelly and tasted as if gone bad.. the worst part is, when I mentioned my personal experience on FB, they initially hid my comment and then blocked me so I won't be able to tell everyone my experience. That was very amateurish of them..Anyway, someone who knows about authentic Asian cuisine would never ever should go to this place ( based on my experience).Now if the restaurant can do something about my Google review as well, go ahead!So for the record, Pakora means the fritters which you served as starters and the aloo sabzi means the potato curry which you served as a side for the rice. I defo asked about the drinks that whether they are included in the buffet or not. When you said no, I was okay with it. No harm in clarifying the doubts. And to further add, My elder son ate the dessert from our quota, as we didn't eat and so we gave it to him. Next, my younger son is only 1 yr old and he cares a damn about your tasteless, useless food and he didn't even lick your food. So, stop giving an impression that you did a favour to us by not charging my kids. I have been in Srilanka for a good 10 yrs of my life so I know stuffs about Srilankan cuisine and mind you, You are no one to tell me what is what! I didn't mention about your restaurant's horrific food to you because it won't reach to all if I won't give you a google review. And you did delete my comment on your FB profile and Blocked me! Mind you, I am not the only one to talk about how bad your food is, Go see the reviews, there are many actually!!

Awfully bad food. Please don't come and have any food here. Rather do a donation!

You can’t get better endorsement than a current diner saying “are you going in here? Good, because it’s delicious”.Kandy do a vegan buffet on the last Wednesday of the month and it’s fantastic. The onion bhajis taste exactly like Bangladeshi fiyazi, so that was a delicious surprise. The rice noodles and coconut chickpeas were the highlight of the buffet. My friend booked to come back the following month halfway through dinner!

Just paid 6 quid for 3 pinky sized duck spring rolls with a sauce which wasn't what the menu states. The jackfruit delight is mediocre unfortunately it lacks in flavour. The pork Sizzler was tasty that's why there's 3 stars, it was asked for very spicy and it was, very spicy!! Staff took 34 quid and they didn't offer me my change. I will order again to try the Sizzler for myself as that tasted good. But I can't currently recommend...

Love this restaurant. Food is delicious, fresh, and dishes are far more varied & punchy than at an Indian restaurant. Service is attentive and the owner is incredibly friendly, welcoming and happy to help you choose. We have been here several times over the years and it never disappoints; highly recommend giving this restaurant a try. Thanks you!

The amazing smell upon arrival sets you up ready for a wonderful feast. All the food was amazing, delicious and there was plenty of it. The staff were friendly and attentive. I’ve travelled around Sri Lanka and so can honestly say this food is authentic.

I recently enjoyed the Wednesday vegan buffet with my girlfriend, and it was fantastic! The food took me back to Sri Lanka with its authentic flavors and good spice levels. The vegan options were abundant, and the indoor decor added to the traditional Sri Lankan vibe. If you're a fan of delicious, authentic Sri Lankan cuisine, this place is a must-try!

Had an amazing dinner at Kandy Authentic Sri Lankan Food Restaurant with a group of 8. We started with the Vegan Platter – so many delicious options! Our main course was the Kandy Vegan Special, and it was fantastic.The service was top-notch, with a friendly and welcoming staff. They made our dining experience memorable. If you're into authentic Sri Lankan food and great service, this place is a winner!Will definitely be back for more tasty meals. Highly recommend!

I dined at the Kandy Sri Lankan restaurant yesterday, and it was an absolute delight! The authentic flavors transported me to the vibrant streets of Colombo. The dishes were not only delicious but also beautifully presented, showcasing the chef's dedication to both taste and aesthetics. The warm and welcoming ambiance, paired with attentive service, made my dining experience truly memorable. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone craving an exquisite journey through Sri Lankan cuisine.

Beware: Alarming and Unsafe Experience at Kandy Restaurant, MacclesfieldOur recent visit to Kandy Restaurant in Macclesfield was deeply disturbing and felt unsafe. The wait for our food was excessively long despite the restaurant being empty, and the dishes lacked the authentic Sri Lankan flavor we were anticipating. The situation turned alarming due to the behavior of the chef/owner. We experienced both verbal abuse and physical violence from him, which occurred in front of our young children, a five-year-old girl and a six-month-old baby. This incident was serious enough to warrant a police report. The lack of functional CCTV cameras heightened our safety concerns, as it poses a risk for unchecked criminal activities like verbal attacks, physical assaults, and even potential robbery. Furthermore, the restaurant's refusal to provide a VAT bill raises questions about their compliance with tax regulations. Considering these experiences, I strongly advise caution against dining at Kandy Restaurant. For a safer and more enjoyable Sri Lankan dining experience, I recommend Sigiriya Restaurant in Altrincham and Knutsford, known for their quality food and excellent customer service.UNFORTUNATELY I CANT FIND A REPLY BUTTON YOUR RESPONSE. BELOW IS THE RESPONSE.Dear Kandy Restaurant Management,I appreciate your response, but I must clarify certain points for the sake of accuracy and fairness. My review was based on genuine experiences and concerns, not on any ulterior motive to promote another business or damage yours.1. Regarding the Side Dish (Jaggery): My complaint was about being unexpectedly charged for a basic condiment (jaggery), which is typically complimentary in most restaurants. This was surprising and not communicated to us beforehand.2. VAT Bill Requests: In my review, I expressed concern about the non-issuance of VAT bills despite repeated requests over multiple visits. This is an important matter of compliance and transparency, which was not addressed in your response.3. CCTV and Safety Concerns: My mention of the non-functional CCTV was to highlight safety concerns. A working CCTV system is a basic safety measure that benefits both customers and the establishment.4. Allegations of Violence and Theft: These are serious accusations. I would like to reiterate that my family and I felt compelled to involve the police due to the aggressive behavior we experienced. Our intention was never to evade payment or cause harm.5. Previous Visits: It is true that I have dined at your restaurant before without incident, which is why the recent experience was particularly disappointing and alarming.6. Authenticity of Cuisine: My feedback about the lack of authentic flavor was a subjective opinion based on my dining experience.I stand by my review as a reflection of my recent experience at your establishment. It was written with the intention of sharing a truthful account and not to defame or unfairly criticize. I believe it is important for customers to share both positive and negative experiences to help others make informed decisions.
