  Masala tea = one serving was enough for the 2 of us. Just the right amount of sweetness and very pleasant mix of spices.

  I went there today and I can honestly say this was the worst food I have had in 30 years of my life. There was no 'cook', it is basically a couple who used to run a grocery store, now converted to a restaurant. Nothing they serve you is fresh but store bought in frozen form. I spent 50 dollars on an -5/10 experience for a small two person meal. We never finished and left half way through the meal. I really don't know how there are people commenting below are giving them a 5/5 rating. I'm inclined to believe these comments are fake and that restaurant is a front for some other shady operation. Stay away and keep your cash.

  Tiny little home cooking joint, like so many restaurants in this area. I didn't even notice it before until I went looking for something small and new. From the outside, it's basically invisible, but the food is delicious!

  We came here at 1:45pm for a Saturday lunch. We were the only customers for the first hour or so and it was very quiet (which I like). The bollywood music video was muted, for which I was grateful. Inside, there is minimal decor and ambiance. Upon entering, we also got hit by the Indian spice + BO combo that is pretty strong until you get used to it.

  Service was great. Owner answered all our questions about the menu, refilled water promptly, and came to ask how the food was each time an item was served. The food didn't come very quickly but I can understand given there was no customer before us and they might have had to turn everything back on to cook for us lol.

  I gotta say this place has fantastic food. Although upon delivery a few issues did arise hence why no 5 star rating. No debit machine was brought so we had pay over the phone with credit card... and the order was over am hour late.

  String hoppers Kothu chicken = Imagine chicken pad thai with an Indian flavour. It was delicious. My SO wasn't going to finish it.....but he did without even realizing.

  Beef thali = There were 5 different little dishes + rice & a chip thing. Squash, chickpea, cabbage, etc. All delicious, and tasted fresh. Just be careful to not bite into the super spicy seeds. 80% of the beef was not tough but there were 1 or 2 pieces that were tough.

  Even though food is great, I think the prices are a bit high considering the total lack of ambiance.

  Payasam = We shared this dessert. Tapioca was undercooked and still hard in the middle so it was difficult to chew...too bad because the rest of the dish was all nice & smooth. Other than that, good comfort food kind of dessert.

  This worst place ever I had Sri Lankan rolls from. Wish I can add pictures to show. And when I called to complain they said, this how the “karuna cafe” rolls is. And the attitude they have even worse than the rolls. Good luck.
