7 dollars Australian for a starter??? Wow, that is reasonable… *very* reasonable indeed. The photos look lovely – sounds like a wonderful place. I can well understand the disappointment of drop-ins being turned away but at least they could get takeaway. No such luck for me on the one time we dropped in to my favourite restaurant in Paris.

Good friends good food, what a terrific night! I think I’ve tried Sri Lankan food twice in my life and I hope to try more dishes next time I have a chance! Looks so delicious!

What a lovely place to dine with friends! It looks like an establishment I would very much enjoy. Each dish looks great, but I’d really like those desserts. And what a good value, too! 🙂

Wattalapam and Love Cake are two treats I’ve wanted to try for years now. You lucky thing!

Totes laughed when you clarified that you didn’t take your son to drink beer….LOL The love cake looks and sounds yummy! So cool that you can spend time with loved ones and enjoying a good meal. The plates look cool, but I see your point about the food getting cold! Take care…xo

MMMM,…all of the plates of food that you shown us here look very appetizing. But the metal plates isn’t that stylish at all,… They can chahnge that into lovely modern plates,… 😉

Metal plates? What are they thinking? moving right along … I’m not at all familiar with Sri Lankan food but your meals sound delicious. Being served fish that fresh is such a treat and, like Carl, I would have taken full advantage of it.As for that woman, i just don’t get it. No one forced her to sit there. You don’t like the music, leave and let those of us who enjoy the music do so in peace.

I actually really like those plates, though I can see how the food would go cold quickly. You are so spoilt for choice where you live for great places to eat out xx

I’d certainly book if I lived closer Charlie, it’s great that they can give diners a taste of home 🙂 The metal trays are pretty de rigueur for this cuisine although they definitely lose heat fast that way. Archie must sleep about 2 hours a night with all his commitments, no wonder he needs so many chipolatas to keep his strength up! Xox

Just back for a short comment: am surprised quite a few readers believe thali plates to be some inferior way of presenting food, whereas often they cost hugely more than say Villeroy & Boch, being made by top artists with the most exquisite designs and decorations, ie family heirlooms to be handed down! Maharajahs also ate and eat off metal, even tho’ it used to be gold. The alternate [especially in Thailand, Malaysia etc] is of course the tray service, with a dozen-odd separate beautifully decorated containers for the variety of dishes served at each meal . . .
