The service is quick, staff are lovely but the food is meh. It’s good, it’s not amazing, it’s just average. We got the dhal vade but it was really dry and way too hard. I think overcooked. Maybe I should’ve given the curry a go. For our mains, we got the Jackfruit & Veggie Kottu and my friend got the Seafood Kottu. I’d give the jackfruit and veggie kottu a miss but the seafood one is nicer. Vegetarian options: Plenty of veggie options

If you want something different than regular Asian food, try The Lankan with its authentic Sri Lankan flavours!

Super tasty Sri Lankan street food!! The kottus were fresh and flavourful, we also had calamaris and loaded sweet potato fries and there were both amazing! I've been to Sri Lanka 4 times and this lovely gem did not disappoint :) Thank you the Lankan!
