The food is very authentic, made with fresh ingredients. It reminds me of being back in Sri Lanka! I have eaten from both the English and the Sri Lankan menu.... All food was very tasty and enjoyable. My favourite is the fish cutlet, paratha, and chicken curry. The Take away we got delivered was fresh, hot and delicious. Many thanks, I will definitely return!

Cafe recently taken over in St Leonard’s on Sea - Bohemia district which is up and coming. Pleasant and helpful staff, good food . We enjoyed an all day breakfast which was generous, tasty and not greasy. We also had the chicken curry which was lovely. Prices are reasonable .

Ordered a takeaway for dinner from here as I live just round the corner and keep walking past. It was amazing! Really nice to have South Asian food that isn’t the same stuff you see everywhere in the UK. I had the devilled chicken, egg fried rice, and green bean curry. Lovely mix of spices, flavour, and freshness. Such good value too. Will definitely be back :)

I had the veggie fried rice to take away, it was delicious. Freshly cooked to order, really flavoursome & fresh tasting, well seasoned and with a perfectly fried egg on top. Big portion size too. Would definitely recommend and come back, great service too.
