Came here for a takeaway samosa and pav roll set. The pav wasn't the soft bread roll I expected, but instead a roti stuffed with spiced veg and deep fried. It wasn't too greasy, surprisingly, and had a perfect texture and flavour when eaten hot. The samosas were good as well, although I prefer a thicker, doughier shell to the filo these came wrapped in.

Was quite surprised to find this place along the busy Lonsdale street, i came here after my work and to my surprise it was pretty reasonable n generous amount of tasty food was served.
Overall it was a great experience n good food
My score 3.5 stars. J got TA for dinner from here on Wed 10th Apr – woman serving was very pleasant & service was great. 👍
We had a: Regular Combo ($11.50) – 1 meat curry, 2 veg, Chilli, Chutney, Papadum and a: Vego Combo ($10.50) – 3 veg, Chilli, Chutney, Papadum.
Sri Lankan chicken curry > Good & spicy, moist chicken – overall not bad. 👍 Eggplant curry > A bit “moju” like, soft eggplant & nice caramelised onion – pretty good! 😋 Pea & cashew curry > Lotso peas, not much cashew (more a gravy) - peas were fairly firm, but tasted ok. Dhal > Was ok - a bit grainy. Mixed veg > Mainly carrot & potato – not bad. 👍
Rice > Tasty, moist (some TA places it can be quite hard/dry). Chutney > Sweet, but not bad (a bit “pruney”). Papadums > Very thin, ok, not oily at all. Chilli > Hot (a bit like sambal IMO). Yoghurt > A tiny bit of very stiff/dry yoghurt (strange).
Prices slightly out of date on Zomato, but would do TA again. Price pretty good for amount & quality - more a TA place than eat-in though…
Delicious, consistent and very friendly service at a very competitive price. Whats so fantastic about this place is that, although the menu isn't huge, it changes from day to day and is consistently delicious. But better than that! it tastes like home cooked food!!! take it from me, as a Sri Lankan, its home cooked food cooked with love! I'm a regular and love it. A rare little gem:)

An Indian fix for the local workers who want something quick and easy. They have a bunch of premade food which you can pick and choose, I got the lamb, dhal and eggplant curry to go all packed into a takeaway container. It was all was mild (I'm a bit of a wuss), lamb was a bit dry but the eggplant was nice and caramelized all resting on top a bed of biryani. They also throw in a lovely papadum and optional yoghurt, sweet chutney and chilli for you chilli fiends out there.
Workmates love going down to grab a samosa or two as a cheeky treat.
Tiny quick turnover cash only curry joint. Steady trade while I was there. The curries are extremely good. I had lamb and two veg - Dahl and an eggplant curry with a papadam and yogurt and curry paste on the side thrown in. Serves are generous and very reasonably priced. Service is efficient and snappy. A very good package all round. Recommended for busy workers.
Great place for a cheap lunch. You get rice with a choice of meat and 2 vegetables. The eggplant is really delicious. You get a good portion size and for a meal under $10 definitely worth going to if you're on a tight budget.
So much value for money. Rice, meat curry, 2 servings of vegetables (eggplant was amazing). Even ordering a large serving, wasn't enough rice for the food it came with but awesome nonetheless. All this cost $9.50. U w0t m8
This is a cheap and cheerful place that i have been coming to for years. $9.5 gets you a large plate with rice 1 meat and 2 vegies. Very substantial meal and represents great value. I usually get their butter chicken, eggplant and what ever veggie available on the day. Their butter chicken isnt authentic but still good. The eggplant is amazing!
