Only problem was that my mom has severe acid reflux and cannot have anything spicy (Scoville kind of spicy). I made sure to email the restaurant months in advance and when we arrived, the person helping us remembered the email! He made sure to point out again what wasn't spicy and we were able to feed her well. This restaurant is small and intimate so you definitely need a reservation. It seems to be a great date place because it's dark and there is some cool mood lighting going on. You'll be sitting very close to whoever you're with as well. The food is something I've never experienced before and I actually can't wait to try more. The hoppers were interesting. It felt hard to pick up stuff with but I noticed a lot of people just spooning curry into it. I'll try that next time. The roti was all really good, including the gluten free one. We didn't take home leftovers but my mom made sure to take those with her. Drinks were very unique and refreshing. I loved the play on classic cocktails but made with Sri Lankan flair and ingredients. So why not 5 stars? Some things rubbed me the wrong way service wise. My drink was forgotten and it kind of felt like it was my fault (t wasn't) even though I did get an apology. Also, my mom is very much a rice person so we wanted rice with her cashew curry. But the person helping us was like no, you're getting the dhal and replaced it. Yes, the dahl was good but my mom would have liked the rice.

The curries have a surprising variety of flavours, and some are very hot, so be warned if that's not your thing. I came here for lunch the other day, and it was so cheap! $8 for a lamb thali -- which is a huge meal (it's basically a tasting plate - lots of little curries, chutney, & rice, and something sweet). I reckon Little Haveli have slightly better Thalis, but you certainly get value for money.

There are over 20 types of dosas to choose from with different fillings, and most are under $10. I chose the mushroom and cheese one and it was very tasty and something different. -The curries are the undisputable champions of the Indian menu. - I adore the Malaysian Milk Hoppers; bowl-shaped thin pancakes made from fermented rice flour, with a sweet coconut centre. -There is air conditioning inside the restaurant, which is great because it can get really hot with all those piquant flavours! -The staff can be hasty and the service slow at times but I assure you-the food is worth the wait!

Fantastic experience tonight at Sri Lankan Street Food in Grebe (which I believe might be how…read moreAussies pronounce "grub", given all the serious food choices on this one street). SLSF fortuitously was right across the street from my guesthouse and there was no chance I was going to pass up the opportunity to dine there. While I can't profess to any sort of super educated depth of experience with the cuisine of Sri Lanka, I did have the fortune of having a friend who was a great representative cook of his home cuisine and I knew it was more significantly varied than just a spin on Indian food. Heavy in coconut, seafood and spice, Sri Lankan food has to date been woefully underrepresented in most major cities. But not here in Sydney, where there seem to be several restaurants serving Sri Lankan food. Sri Lankan Street Food boasts of having a chef who cut his teeth in kitchens for various high end hotels and yachts. He owns a catering/restaurant based in Toongabbie, and SLSF represents their foray into the big city dining scene. They have been open one year already and business has been steady. It should be mobbed. The beef curry and hoppers (Sri Lankan crepes is the nearest I can describe them), one of which had a soft boiled egg, was extremely tasty. Not unspicy, yet not unpleasantly hot either. My fish main course, served wrapped in a banana leaf, was also on mark, and had some nice salads and yogurt to balance the taste. The menu spoke of a sour ingredient (apparently a weight loss technique in Sri Lanka, similar perhaps to when your older brother poured sour powder all over your dinner and you refused to eat it), but if it was there I didn't notice. The team is solicitous and friendly, as evidenced by the advice to "drive safe!" issued to each food service driver that came in. Note that they don't serve beer and wine, so you should come equipped with your alcoholic beverage of choice, if that is your preference. They do have a variety of non-alcoholic drinks and desserts, though I simply didn't have room.

The menu is massive but they also had "spring specials", figuring we could get a butter chicken anywhere we tried some of the specials. They were great, we had the paneer tikka, chicken tikka phaal and gunpowder beef. We also had some samosas (veg) which held their shape when cut and were delicious. We also got the garlic naan and pashwari naan, sometimes the fruit naan can be a failure but it was perfect here. Also serving sizes were good, you got more than a couple pieces of meat in sauce. Service is super friendly, one of the waiters noticed we were having troubles getting our 2 year old to sit, so he came over and played with her while we finished our glass of wine. Only things that stop it being 5 stars is the service is occasionally forgetful (we had to ask for things multiple times) and it being on the pricey side of things.

I suppose the only down side is that the restaurant is on Pennant Hills Road and as Sydney people will know this is a very very major road.. but you know other than the fact that we had to park around the corner, the road noise was not audible and an enjoyable time was had by all.. I promise to take photos next time before everybody dives in. Fully licenced and BYO wines only . They do also cater for parties and functions.

What has happened to this place? We returned to this 'once great' restaurant to be very…read moredisappointed with the service and some of the food dishes. On arrival we were ushered into the restaurant without a pleasant greeting to a tiny table in the middle of the room. We started with a Salted Caramel Espresso Martini. Very well made and perfect to start of our meal. We ordered char-grilled South African style Lamb Sosates on a skewers, served with sour cream & chilli. These were delicious and were exactly how I remembered them! Next came our main dish of Cafe Americain 'Tajine De Poulet' - a Moroccan tajine of chicken, orange and honey with apricots. This was also delicious served with couscous and rice. Now to the most expensive dish on the menu, the Mozambiquan Tiger Prawns Piri Piri. What a disappointment! The tiniest prawns that were chargrilled and tossed of the plate with chips and a few strands of greenery. For the cost this dish was terrible. To finish our dinner we're ordered the Chocolate Cake (Torte de Negro). This was moist and very rich served with edible rose petals and ice cream. The food was good except for the prawns. What spoilt the night was the lack of service given and the old Radio Cairo atmosphere is gone.

If you're into game and a committed carnivore this place would be brilliant but I went there and paid over $20 for a bean curry - a small portion of bean curry at that. I might have felt better if I was being sponsored to eat it with some of the bill going to charity! Don't get me wrong the restaurant is quirky and exotic; dragging influences from Africa, Asia and the Caribbean which is a truly refreshing change in the land of the ubiquitous Thai but if you're veggie or fish and chicken only this could be a tricky place to dine. A large bar centres the room and there's lots happening in the restaurant and the curious décor to keep bean eaters entertained though. Double dessert might be the way forward.
