Another one from Time Out's London's Best Indian Restaurants list in March 2019.
This Sri Lankan restaurant won't win any awards for it's decor, but there's a reason it's always busy. They serve some interesting Sri Lankan dishes, which are always great and super cheap. It's BYO, so grab some beers from Five Stars over the road first - easily the friendliest off licence in the area.
Cafe-style informal BYOB Sri-Lankan restaurant, the manager is a bit of a Basil Fawlty and the service is average at best but friendly most of the time! Don't let that put you off as the food is "fairly" good and there is an off-licence opposite for you to stock up on your favourite beer. Try to avoid the weekends. Closes at 11 pm. Budget friendly and good value for the price.

If the question is posed, go for spicy at this pleasingly priced Sri Lankan stalwart. Start with the Traditional Sri Lankan and Apollo Banana Leaf Special menus, and don’t order rice, rather share a stringhopper fry (fried chopped noodles) or kothu (fried chopped paratha). But do investigate the other menus for gems such as chicken or prawn 65, devilled mutton, and mutton fry. The aubergine curry is superb, as are most of their veg dishes. Book ahead for evenings, and BYO beer or wine. PS: zero shame in asking for a doggie bag.
