    A tiny take-out but really good food and decent size of portions. Authentic Sri Lankian!

    Suni was so lovely and welcoming. The food is amazing and wish I lived closer to go back more frequently. Soooo delicious!

    Amazing food in a less trafficked area of town. I dream about the samosas.

    My first visit to the main restaurant in a fair old while, having been frequenting their offshoot…read morein Bedford recently when the curry craving hits. It's larger than it was first time I visited, but still in the little strip mall off Chain Lake Drive. There are two rooms either side of the entrance, both cool, subtly lit and cozy. It was just after they opened on a summer's Thursday morning, so I was the first customer and quickly ordered the meat thali. This comes in six segments. Two meat curries which change from time to time (today it was beef and chicken). A very nice dahl, a good portion of rice, chickpea salad and a quartered plain naan. All very tasty and overall quite a sizeable portion. I was on the ravenous side of peckish when I arrived and left thoroughly stuffed, so you definitely get your value for the $23 with tip. It's not licensed, but has a nice line in cold drinks should you so desire. It's no surprise this place is consistently voted No.1 curry house in Halifax, though it has a lot more competition than it did when it first opened. Thoroughly recommended.

    So it's my first time ordering food here. They serve their pakoras with plum sauce? That's so weird…read moreand it does NOT go together. So maybe its a mistake? I hope it is. Anyway, the pakoras were ok. Butter chicken was very oily. Yes, oily, not butter oil, just oily. (Look at the picture). The best part of the meal is the rice. But even that's not good. It has a nice color to it though. Food is pretty mediocre. I'd come back for a quick takeout but i'd go to other places if I actually want a real, good indian food.
