Great location and food was excellent with authentic Sri Lankan taste. Could improve the service but that is very minor compared to the positive experience we had. Highly recommended ????

This is first ever i found a Sri lankan restaurant for the lankan taste in the city and the staff were super welcoming. Delicious foods and also the presentation was really interesting.

They ran short of food. They couldn't give me what I ordered. After a very long wait and several reminders I was able to get some food on our table. The food was excellent. The chef in charge should be prepared to cater to all guests. Next time I'm going to book directly with the restaurant. Maybe they didn't count us.

A lovely sport for a summer dinning right on the water front of Dockland. The food was wonderful and great portions. The front staff was so lovely to us first time there. We will definitely comeback.

The food was really good and it was super tasty! The food were served with a creative touch and really appreciate the way Sri Lankan foods are emphasised here! Won’t ever hesitate to come again and introduce my non-Sri Lankan friends to this modern taste of Sri Lanka!

The food was excellent. Wife and I enjoyed Chicken kothu roti and mutton on bone and white fish curry. The cocktails were also good with good ambiance. Would come again.

The only positive experience we had was the food and that’s where it ends. Considering the prime location of the restaurant i.e. Docklands we were expecting a similar level of professionalism, quality of service and cleanliness that you would be greeted inside other restaurants in the CBD. Instead it was like stepping into a school canteen. From a safety perspective when you step out of the restaurant if you are not careful your face will be met with a pillar. We ordered two cocktails along with the food. The food arrived but not the cocktails so we ended up canceling the cocktails. It was surprising that none of the staff realised that they missed the order considering at the time only 5 other tables had guests. There is no coordination between the staff showing that they were inexperienced. With respect to hygiene in the dining area the carpets had not been vacuumed for a while. Portable heating was visible in lieu of central heating therefore, it was freezing inside. Majority of the guests still had their jackets on to keep them warm. The toilets badly need a renovation. I would not recommend bringing along a guest to this restaurant as it will give a very bad impression of our country as well as of our culture and integrity. Common guys this is Australia and right at the heart of the CBD this is not done.

Literally no one at the restaurant. Had to open the door and get into a cold storage of a dining area with music playing from a tv above us. Ambience is as sad as it can get and when you look at the prices on the menu, you think that you’re at crown or smt. Only positive thing about it was the friendly staff member. We had to walk away before ordering anything. Do not go there.

We had a lovely experience and the food was delicious. The staff were attentive and went the extra mile to make our night special by surprising my father with a birthday dessert.

It is embarrassing to call this a Sri Lankan restaurant. My family wanted to give a Sri Lankan experience to some dear friends of ours in the Melbourne CBD for breakfast. I called the morning of the day before to confirm that there were certain food items we wanted on their menu and to book in a reservation for the following morning. We were greeted poorly by the server who let us decide dishes on the menu without informing the unavailabilities. 75% of the brunch menu was unavailable and once another server came in they were able to pick and choose from the menu and finally get an order in. Given this was in the morning all of us wanted a coffee and the server took the order in only to come back 10 mins later saying there was no coffee. Once we got the food, the portion sizes were abysmal for the prize we paid. For a restaurant that call themselves “Fine Dining” nothing was fine about it. No apology was given by any of the servers for unavailabilities , I had to apologise for it to my friends. What an embarrassing and horrible experience it was, it is not worth your money and time! Not to mention the hygiene of the venue, there food scraps on the floor and the tables. Horrible.

Amazing authentic Sri Lankan food. Prawns and chicken curry were good and spicy! Fish curry was mild. Loved the Briyani! Kankun veg dish with garlic was also super yummy. Will def come back to try other dishes.

Highly overpriced, and half the menu wasn’t even available - but, the Waitress Shanaya was very attentive and extremely personable. However, We don’t think we will be visiting again. It was a bit of a disappointment.

Great view of the waterfront, great customer service and friendly staff. The choices in food was good and what we ordered had a lot of flavour. Really enjoyed the goat curry and barramundi. Overall, would come here again with the family.
