We came there for a takeout and were pleasantly surprised by the welcome. These are very friendly people and the made us feel welcome very fast. We know Indian food but not necessarily Skri Lanka, the proprietors created a mix for us that was delicious! Butter chicken, spiced shrimps and another chicken dish with various accompaniments that were all tasty and hot. We even have some leftovers! The portions are great and the taste is great also. Worthwhile visit and we are keeping this address for future visit in Ottawa, because we’ll have to try it again in the restaurant. For me it was as good as the best Indian restaurants that we have in Montreal.
Always friendly, always fresh and so flavourful. The staff is so amazing and kind. I’ve tried at least 10 different dishes on the menu and everything has been absolutely phenomenal. Dine in to enjoy the cute atmosphere. A must try!
Great food and amazing selection!
Absolutely the best food, let alone Indian food, we have ever eaten. The homemade sauces are packed with flavors. The bread is decadent and perfect for mopping up every drop of sauce.Allow the owner to make suggestions for you. He will not disappoint. I can't thank him enough for our special meal.!Happy 25th anniversary Ceylonta!
This place is a gem for people who love spicy food! Price very reasonable. Excellent location, amicable service.For downside, the place is okay for cleanliness, but that might be my flawed perception due to low lights.
Very impressed with this place. Came here with my husband and we tried a lot of different plates. Everything was tasty and delicious. His favorite was the curried coconut shrimp and my favorite was the mutton biryani. Mutton thali is also absolutely delicious and so is the butter chicken. For dessert we had something that reminded us of a molasses cheesecake and it was also perfect. 100% will be back.
Unfortunately not very clean and cozy environment (glass covers on the tables were smudged/dirty, cutlery was just kind of thrown over the tables some without napkins some with napkins, glasses with wine/water were smudged as well). Door at the ladies bathroom was not fully closing. We waited for to order for quite some time and even longer to get the food. I ordered meat thali which I thought will inlcude more than three small pieces of meat but it was 99% veregeterian and most of the small dishes were pretty much condiments to a traditional Indian food - so not much of an experience. Another dish we had was chicken palandi which wasnt bad, but tasted more like regular Asian fried chicken in indian sauce. Overall our experience was definitely not worth a $100 bill.
Absolutely Superb!I didn't want to eat-in because of the COVID situation, so I opted for a take-out of classic South Indian/Sri Lankan Vegetarian Thali, which is a combination of several different Vegey dishes & rice. I must emphasis that I was quite impressed with the authenticity, quantity and, above all else, the quality of this classic Sri Lankan cuisine.
During a recent day trip to Ottawa, I decided to drop by this highly-rated Sri Lankan restaurant in the Upper Bank Street area on Somerset Street.

Fantastic flavours! Superior Indian food in Ottawa. Have been going there for years and it’s always great!
