Victoria TaraJuly 29, 2017My 3rd time here and the quality of food is still good. The fish sothi particularly stood out and also the crabmeat is a must try.
Its been 4 yrs since my last visit but in my opinion its still the best place 4 Appams. Made fresh, they're the right mix of crispy & soft in the centre. Pile on Fish Sothi, Pol, Katta & Seeni sambol!
Chris LeeJanuary 5, 2022Ordered Aliya experience and top up famous jafna crab. Highlight of the dish goes to the crab and apam dessert. Definitely a must to order.Not advisable to share the Apam because just too irresistible
- Authentic Ceylonese dishes like Fish Sothi, Chix Varuvel, Pineapple Curry and 4 types of Appams with katta sambal, seeni sambal, pol sambal, karupillay sambal). Love the Lychee Asam Boi drinks.
- benfooFebruary 27, 2020Gr8 Sri Lankan cuisine in cosy environment. Dishes r well flavoured n spiced in a very balanced manner. Try d papadum basket with 4 unique dips for starters. The apom is a gr8 way to finish off a meal
- Seafood lamprais- Amazing, it is wrapped in banana leaf & baked in the oven, open the banana leaf packet, inhale the delicious aroma of the assortment of the spices embracing and infusing the rice.
Abang BusuAugust 15, 2018Hot n spicy sri lanka food best food in town who like to taste the original made from the kithen.
Anwar MahbobJune 25, 2014A delightful place for a tasty sri lankan dinner. Service is excellent and the food is amazing. Be adventurous and try the fish curry. Couple it with some roti.
Aylwin OngMay 5, 2018Very friendly staff. Rasam here will knock your socks off. Tasty food all around. They are not stingy on the spices.
Kin Hoe LeeApril 30, 2017Loved the mutton and crab curry. Goes very well with the string hoppers. Dessert is good too - apam with rum flambe. Highly recommended.- srig VApril 20, 2014A must try is their appam for desert, as for the main dish try the lumprais... the flavours simply excites the tongue.
Most dishes are of very good quality. Definitely try their specialities like their crabs, hoppers, mutton poriyal. Great ambiance.
FAEEZ SOFFISeptember 25, 2019Had the curry chicken, onion fried tiger prawn, baked seafood rice (like fried rice), eggplant and parsley salad (like kerabu). All were nice but nothing extraordinary.
Ila NathanNovember 20, 2014The vegetarian Sri Lankan style food was absolutely perfect, from preparation to presentation, very pleasing.
Kingsley YoungerMay 30, 2015They have Sri Lankan crab curry available. Read review here at theyumlist.blogspot.com/2015/03/a-li-yaa-island-restaurant-and-bar-sri.html?m=1
Vincent TanMay 13, 2017Decent selection of German Riesling wines because that's the best pairing for the cuisine
KevOctober 9, 2013Nice ambiance, good food ( totally forgot d name of d dishes). Not many people seem to visit this place but that is also a good thing
Ivy MSeptember 27, 2014Great food, good service and nice ambience! 👍Thank you for the complimentary desert! 😊
Prem KumarFebruary 28, 2017Crab curry was super. Chicken curry was burned but they said thats how it's cooked! They charged for pappadam n its condiments RM17! Price is crazy - not coming here unless I win a lottery!
John GJanuary 12, 2014The egg hoppers are a must-have. Though the Colombo sauce crabs are to die for, unfortunately the crab's been dead too long. Meat was very mushy and watery. Maybe an off day.
- Subhana NairApril 24, 2013Delicious Sri Lankan food, enjoyed the authentic taste n expect good service!
Constance | @croostifoodiDecember 4, 2019Very good Sri Lankan food. Order kothu, kulaiyal, sweet appam. Their mutton is somewhat not tender. Nice service.
