Review & Rating
I come here for lunch and its great food, fast service friendly customer service.
You can buy authentic Sri Lankan food from here. You have to try their "Lump Rice" (They have two options Vegetable and Chicken) They are open 24hr and you can buy grocery items too.
BEST authentic Sri Lankan food you'll find in Houston. Its an all around stop shop with an authentic Sri Lankan kitchen. I got the chicken curry and it was awesome, two thumbs up.
Tried their chicken kottu with request for extra spiciness which was pretty good. The owner was really friendly and he said their Lamprice is top notch. Will go back again to try their lamprice varieties. Not a good place to dine-in. I would recommend take-outs.
Too expensive for what we get, mainly rice. Too spicy. Low class place eith high price.
Sure place for Good Sri Lankan food. Good staff.
Honestly, a smoke shop/convenience store was not the place I expected to find awesome Sri Lankan kottu roti, but it was really good. I will definitely go back in the future. 👍👍👍
Love this store and there food is amazing and u can bing....
I cannot say enough great things about the food here. I am a native "white" American food adventurer and this place is fantastic. They will roll out the red carpet for you. Sri Lankan food is similar to South Indian food and they have both vegetarian and meat dishes. Numerous kinds of Roti (stuffed buns and breads with meat or vegetables or sweet), the Kottu is great (like fried rice), string hoppers (noodles), hoppers (egg and plain), coconut sambar or rotti (my fav condiment), the LUMP RICE (thali plate - the giant cashews) is fantastic, and I highly recommend the DEVILLED CHICKEN for the meat eater in your group. Obviously I sampled all of it and it is delicious. Now if you want some "fancy" ambiance you went to the wrong place but if you want great Sri Lankan food and want to impress with your culinary knowledge this is a hidden gem. The prices are fantastic. They are also a grocery store with almost every beverage on the planet and if you just happen to smoke they have nearly every single cigarette on earth. It doesn't smell greasy or smoky inside. Clean tables. Just nice people. They even helped me carry my order to the car.
Stopped in for the first time yesterday. I was a little nervous when I saw that the front of the place is a 'smoke shop', but I'm glad I stayed. I got the mutton biryani, which was very tasty, and a steak burrito that was *OUT OF THIS WORLD*, in fact maybe the best burrito I've ever ordered at a restaurant. Overall, an outstanding experience. Will definitely be returning!
