If you want to find authentic Sri Lankan food, this is the go to place. We came from Sri Lanka and I’m still mesmerized regarding the taste, atmosphere, prices, and their prices. It’s so reasonable and the prices are same to Sri Lanka. The cleanliness, taste, atmosphere, service is 5 star and I’m speechless. We ate everything including a nice buffet, Kottu, fried rice, hoppers, Sri Lankan desserts, etc. I will recommend this place over any place in Paris and even in Sri Lanka. Best of luck to the place!

Had real authentic Sri Lankan food after a long time! We came from the Netherlands for some work and were so glad to find this place. They serve almost all Sri Lankan favourites—from rice and curry to Kottu, hoppers, string hoppers, pittu, and more. The food was delicious, the prices were reasonable, and the atmosphere was great. The hoppers deserve a special mention—crispy, flavorful, and served with katta sambal just like back home. The owner and staff were very friendly, and the food was so good that we ended up going there two days in a row!

The best restaurant in the Europe by a mile. Found this gem of a restaurant tucked away hidden in the suburban Paris. I have tried many Sri Lankan restaurants around the Europe and this by far was the most authentic and affordable restaurant I have ever been to. We had the lunch buffet, kottu, fried rice, hoppers, desserts- watalappan, caramel pudding and lavariya. Everything on point. I am writing this review while in a food coma. And authentic Srilankan.
