The owners were a lovely couple, friendly and helpful. Absolutely clean and sparkling! My husband and I had "lamprais" a Sri Lankan delicacy, rice and lots of different curries wrapped in a banana leaf and baked.

This wonderful restaurant brings cherished memories from my childhood food my mother cooked in Srilanka. The nostalgic food simply is almost impossible to capture in a usual restaurant but Banana...

This restaurant was absolutely incredible. I just came back from a vacation in Sri Lanka and was craving the food so badly. Found this gem — the only Sri Lankan... Read More restaurant in the area — and it certainly did NOT disappoint. The food was amazing, came out quickly, and the staff were so friendly. Everything we got was phenomenal and brought me right back to Sri Lanka! Portions are generous and we even got to have leftovers to enjoy later on. We got the fish egg rolls, chicken curry (which comes with 4 yummy curry vegetables), hoppers (they kindly allowed us to get two with egg and two plain), and string hoppers with kiri hodi and coconut sambol. My personal favorites were the fish spring rolls, the string hoppers, and their coconut sambol! The regular Sri Lankan tea comes in a hot steeping pot and tasted nice, but if you’d like a kick of flavor, I suggest the fresh ginger tea. Everything was lovely, and I think even warmer lighting in the dining room would make the space feel even cozier. But if you’re in the area (or even if not), this restaurant is worth the visit!

(Tip: check their official website for the full menu, as the Google listing doesn’t include every dish they serve.) One of the highlights is their Sunday all-you-can-eat lunch buffet, which offers an excellent selection of Sri Lankan specialties.
