What a hidden gem!! This place has the best Sri Lankan food I've tried in the states. The interior is clean and the staffs are friendly. I read their webpage on the story of the restaurant. It is own by a Sri Lankan couple - one Singhalese and one Tamil. Their love represents the union of the two groups of folks who had long lasting conflict and tension in the country. At this restaurant, you can experience the culinary fusion of the two distinct tradition. We ordered: - mutton roll 5/5 - calamari lamprais 6/5 AMAZING!! - deviled king fish 5/5 Their mutton roll is stuffed with filling - I love how thin the crust is, you really get a taste of the chunky juicy protein. The lamprais is infused with the aromantic banana leaf, along with the colorful and spiceful sides. They are so generous with their portions. It was my first time trying lamprais and I'm now addicted. I highly recommend getting this dish. One thing about Sri Lankan food is it tends to be on the spicer side (think Thai spicy). We were glad to see all items on the menu had a "mild" option. The lamprais is a safe option for those that can't eat spicy. The deviled king fish (mackerel) is a popular fish consumed in Sri Lanka. We got mild but it was still spicy. It was flavored so nicely so if you like spice and saucy dishes, this is the one for you! It was served with bell peppers and onions. We were so full we didn't get to try their desserts but they have many classic desserts options as well! We can't wait to be back to try their curry and other dishes. This place was such a nice hidden gem I really hope everyone will come give it a try!

Out of the three srilankan restaurants tried so far, this is my favorite. Excellent service and Hats Off to the chef. I am from Kerala, India, and have to say, the dishes were very similar to Kerala and Tamil Nadu cuisine (Pittu[Puttu]& Stringhopper ( [Idiyappam]. Following were the dishes that we ordered and I would definitely recommend to everyone. Also I did go mild on the spice levels. Lamprais, Kothu Roti, Deviled Chicken, Island Fried Rice, Chicken Biriyani. The desert Watallapam is excellent.
