Mietta's Review
Success has bred more room at this rapidly expanding Sri Lakan restaurant in Homebush with Sydney's best stringhoppers. Really great food served to a essentially Sri Lankan crowd. Try the sambol and the brinjal curry. Be early as they have difficulty keeping up with the demand.

Sydney Eats 2008 "You don't have to wear a sari at this busy Subcontinental eatery, but you wouldn't look out of place if you did"
Sydney Eats 2006 "At this unassuming restaurant the myriad dishes on offer are prepared from scratch in two kitchens. In the women's kitchen, run by the owner's wife, spices are ground, doughs are made and the curries are to cooked secret recipes. While the women look after flavour and quality, the men do the hard physical work in their kitchen by taking care of the tandoor and preparing the excellent garlic, cheese, butter and plain naan $2.20."
