Very tasty and clean food at affordable prices. No added flavor enhancers used for rice and curry. Owners are very friendly. But they should seriously consider increasing the size of their business since they have now built a base of regular customers.

Delicious food for fair price. Have been their customer for the four years of university life. And they have never disappointed in terms of taste and price. But the portion can be increased.

The food served is good, and within a reasonable price range. You can choose the curries from the available curries. Food quality is good. The place can be crowded during lunch time as is it located closer to the university of moratuwa. Limited number of seats and tables available. You may have to wait until a seat is available or you might have to take away your food. A good restaurant specially for the University students, even tough the price is higher than foods sold inside the university canteen.

This restaurant serves delicious and affordable rice and curry without any artificial flavors. Vegetarians have the option of rice and curry, while non-vegetarians can enjoy fried rice. The owners are friendly, but they may need more space soon due to the high number of customers. The dining area can accommodate only eight people at a time. They offer a variety of vegetarian options, including dhal and soya, as well as dishes like pumpkin, beetroot, mango curry, brinjol, and beans. Enough curry compared to other shops nearby. Overall, it's a fantastic spot for tasty and budget-friendly meals. Not open in Poya days and Sundays.
