Threatening and Insulting Me

Very rude waiters are there. Once I have been to restaurant alone and sat on chair. Then waiter came and told me in a rude manner "getup because you are not suppose to sit here." On second day another waiter came and threaten me why did you sit here getup and sit out side. Then we will call you later.

I have been to lot of international chain restaurant and I have never face this kind of experience.

Very poor service. Foreigners and locals you have to think twice going before Shanmugas

Pros: .

Cons: Very poor service of staff, Very poor service of staff, Think before going Shanmugas

Really nice food

The food was really good but the menu was a little confusing. I wanted to try some string hoppers but was difficult to understand what it came with or if I needed to order another dish to accompany it. In the end I reiterated that I was vegan and hoped for the best. The food came and the string hoppers, although not traditional Sri Lankan, were very good and I left well fed

Pros: Nice food , Extensive menu (although not clear what is vegan), Veggie and vegan options

Cons: The vegan options are not labelled on the menu

Highest Quality Indian Foods

This is the highest quality Indian food you can eat in Sri Lanka.
It is Vegetarian place but if you carefully look at the menu and ask chef,you can get delicious vegan food.

* Be careful about Milk/Paneer

Over priced, left us hungry

We had dinner there and we had to queue to get a table. Service was good, but food was very very expensive. Everything tasted good, but nothing special and portions left us hungry. Interior is not fancy at all. I don't understand why it's full and famous. I would not recommend.

Pros: Service

Cons: Over priced, Very small portions, Not cosy

Excellent Food

This is an upmarket place with posh decor and nicely presented food. Food also tastes wonderful. Portions are good sizes. Service is good. Food is still reasonably priced for such an upscale place.
It's a bit out of the way because it's in the Mount Lavina area.
It's worth the effort to get here. I had one of the best meals I'd ever eaten in Sri Lanka here.

YUM! Ate so much I couldn't breathe for 2 hours

I had a delicious big dosa filled with potato and a good selection of chutneys which I believe was cooked in vegetable oil instead of ghee (fingers crossed) but the staff were lovely and the food was rockin. They speak great English so its easy to ask what is in what.

Pros: It delicious, You can get vegan food, I live right near it!

Cons: The menu could show vegan options

Amazing

While this place may be a bit out of the way, it is worth every rupee to get to
Absolutely delicious and authentic Indian food, predominantly from the South
Uses lot of a ghee, so vegans need to ask about this
All in, our 2 starters, 3 mains, desert and soft drinks came to 3,500R which is a lot for Sri Lanka but worth every paisa

Pros: Huge menu

Cons: Not big enough stomach to eat it all!
