"Very delicious food, traditional from Sri Lanka. The two ladies at the restaurant helped us a lot during the choice of the food and drinks, they were suuuper nice! Moreover, we paid a miserable price according to the average of Milan (we were in 15, took different plates with meat and fish, and different drinks and thanks to TheFork we paid 16€ each!). I definitely recommend to go there for a try :)"

"We ordered the beef fried rice and the chicken rice, and both dishes were genuinely impressive. The beef was well seasoned, and the fried rice had a great balance of flavour without being greasy. The chicken rice was equally satisfying, with generous portions and well cooked meat. Everything tasted fresh and nicely spiced. Definitely one of the better Sri Lankan meals we have had. We would happily come back again."

"First time in a Sri Lankan restaurant. The food was amazing and prepared super fast. We had a native with us who said this was one of the best Sri Lankan food he ever had (second only to his mothers')."

"A nice, quiet and compact place close to via Padova. I took away a Kothu for dinner tonight and tasted quite nice. Typically in other Sri Lankan restaurants they make it super spicy but in here I liked it as there was just the right amount of spice. Normally I struggle to finish the portion but I like the way they did here, not too stuffed the right quantity for an average adult I guess. Need to dine in sometime and check out other dishes in there."
