Soooo good! I highly recommend the Sunday buffet for vegetarians , vegans , and meat-eaters alike. The decor is gorgeous. You are transported to another world when dining here.

Highlights from the savory side of the menu: an orange-colored manioc curry , a rich pork "black"curry with toasted spices, a coconut-and-kale sambal , pineapple curry , and a boiled egg curry . Read more

Owners/staff were very friendly , food was delicious and beautifully presented and the decor/atmosphere was gorgeous! Try the Lamprais - it is the house specialty for a reason :)

This place is just really fantastic. Lovely service, friendly owner and the food and presentation of the food is amazing. I feel like I'm at the Sri Lanken pavillion at Epcot when I dine here!

The $12 Sunday buffet is a standout with 20-odd dishes held warm in clay pots , enough variety to send you back for a third helping.
