What a great little place Shanti's is. They serve traditional Indian/ Sri Lankan dishes and the food here is amazing. The 'Butter Chicken' is done a little bit differently at this restaurant as it comes with a dollop of sour cream swirled atop the curry. Not only did it taste fantastic it looked extremely appetizing.
The owner Shanti and her husband run and manage the restaurant and work on the floor waiting on customers and serving. They make a really good team as they are attentive to when customers are ready to order and they serve out the dishes quickly. The staff here dress extremely casual, which would be fine for lunch orders, however, I think for dinner they should wear a type of uniform to create a more professional appeal- Even if it was an all-black uniform.
The table settings are simple here. For a small family run restaurant like this, it's not necessary for the lavish cutlery and plates. The ambience is nice, there is traditional Indo-Lankan music playing softly in the background, however, I find the menu boards on the walls are comparable to a local fish and chip shop. It doesn't work quite as effectively for this Indo-Lankan restaurant.
A lovely place to dine for casual lunch or dinner, however, if you plan to dine alfresco, please note your view will be of a parking lot. I love going to this place for take-away but occasionally after shopping next door at Woolies, I come here for lunch. read more
