Lunch buffet here is a steal at 400 LKR. Got to try the rice and gravy plus a bit of everything else. Gets crowded but the staff kept up fine.

The staff here actually seemed to care &mdash; refilled our water without asking, checked in just enough. Mutton curry was properly tender, deep spice hit that lingered. Only thing, the plain rice and naan felt steep for what they were. Small gripe though, the warmth made up for it.

Dropped by for a late lunch and grabbed a chicken curry with some rice. Flavors were solid, and the price felt fair for the portion. I did expect more heat, being Jaffna style and all, but it was still a decent feed. Had a lime soda on the side, which cut through the richness nicely. Wouldn&#39;t mind coming back to try their crab.

Food was decent and cheap, but mine came out lukewarm. Staff were friendly even with the language gap. Fine for a quick bite if you&#39;re not picky.

Tried the yellow rice and fried chicken combo &mdash; solid pick. Place was packed, had to wait a bit for a table. Worth it though. 🍗

Got the Chocolate Sizzler for around LKR 2000 with a friend&mdash;pretty generous portion for the price. The sizzling sound alone made it worth it 😄
