The best possible eatery in Santa Cruz, CA. Very welcoming environment with authentic Sri Lankan cuisine. The most friendly staff I've encountered in a very long time. Will be returning here whenever I'm in town. Please support a local amazing business.

This restaurant blew us away. Even ordering takeout we were beyond delighted. We sledged carrot salad, three mushroom curry, and the side dish mix of three. Every bite was great. The carrot salad was the most unique, it was finely shredded with a lightly sweet dressing over a bed of greens and topped with halved cherry tomatoes and beautiful radishes. It tasted great and was aesthetically the most pleasing dish—I can only imagine what it looks like when not in a to-go container! The mushroom curry was very good; it was reviewed over and over on yelp and I found it to be satisfying but not mind blowing. And the three sides were super good, the cashew cauliflower, eggplant, and mango curry (spicy!). Be sure to order the ginger rice, my dad devoured it and he’s not even a rice fan. It was impressive how quickly they got so many dishes ready for just our order. I wish this place was fully vegan, but I understand that restaurants are struggling right now and seeking to reach as broad a base as possible. The staff were a wife/husband team who were immensely warm and accommodating. We will def be back to our new favorite spot in Santa Cruz. Oh and my dad said the complementary dal that came with our meals was the best he ever had. I think I’d agree : )
Interesting Sri Lankan food. A bit pricy, could have better quantity of soup, otherwise no complaints.
This is my favorite food in Santa Cruz! Ive tried many vegan options, and all of them are outstanding. Make sure to try the spicy potatoes if you like spice.
This place serves some authentic Sri Lankan cuisine. I loved having chickpea salad, not sure of its name in the menu. The spice levels were medium, so if you are looking for some real hot stuff, then better ask them for some suggestions. The flavors were really good.
Delicious and unique food, unlike anything else in Santa Cruz. My one complaint was when I called my order in for takeout, I was told it would be 20 minutes. Ended up having to wait 45 minutes in the parking lot. However, the food made up for it. The food listed as spicy was actually very spicy, which was wonderful! The coconut leek dish was my favorite savory item, and the tapioca was wonderfully flavored. I look forward to dine-in when the full menu is available because there's lots more to try!
Absolutely a place worth stopping by, the food is excellent and well prepared, the cost is reasonable and it is constantly well organized here. Highly recommended.
