Sonal B.

I loved this place, and this was my first time visiting a Sri Lankan restaurant. I got the hopper dish with chicken curry and the curry was light and herby which I loved - with a generous portion of chicken. Also the hopper was a new experience for me. These bowls made with rice flour are slightly sweet and not fermented ( like the dosa or injera batters). When we asked for a chili sauce, we got the sambal which was habanero based - that one's got a kick but yummy. The other dishes on the table were also well loved. This is a small establishment and we were served with such care and attention. The decor is as if you are in a living room from the 90s but well thought of. I also love that the tables are well spaced and not crammed. I am definitely trying other Sri Lankan places and next time I visit Beacon, this place will be on my list to try again.

Ordered: Appetizer Sampler (~$9): 2pc fish cutlet, 2pc vegetable samosa, 2pc vegetable spring roll Deviled Chicken (~$19): sautéed with onions, pepper and traditional Sri Lankan spices; served with rice Sri Lankan Style Paratha with Goat Curry (~$20): with coconut sambol Aya's take: First time trying Sri Lankan cuisine and it just so happened to be during our day trip to Beacon! Red Pepper Diner is nicely decorated paying homage to Sri Lankan heritage. It looks like a home from the outside and feels that way when you step inside. We started with the Appetizer Sampler which was small. Nothing stood out to me or screamed "Sri Lankan" but it was a good way to start the meal. The Deviled Chicken was delicious! It was vibrant, aromatic, and full of spices! The Sri Lankan Style Paratha with Goat Curry was outstanding! The curry was delicious, the goat was tender and not gamey, and the paratha was flaky, buttery, and fresh. Sri Lankan cuisine seems like a mix of Indian and Asian influences, but a lot healthier. Less oils, less fats, and more guilt-free! Great spot to check out if you're in the area.

First time trying Sri Lankan food -- and I did not expect to have this kind of experience in Beacon, NY! From the outside, it feels like you're walking into someone's home, and the inside has that same cozy vibe. We came on a Sunday around 1 p.m. after hiking for some fall foliage and were happy to find seats available. There was just one person taking orders, so it took about 5-6 minutes to place ours, but that gave us time to really look over the menu. Here's what we tried: * Appetizer Sampler - 2 fried fish balls, 2 spring rolls, and 2 small veggie samosas. (7/10) * Deviled Pork - Must try! Perfectly crisp edges with a slightly chewy texture, full of flavor -- sweet, savory, not greasy -- all over fluffy yellow rice. Absolutely delicious and not that spicy. (10/10) * Hopper with Goat - The hopper itself was so interesting! It's a thin, bowl-shaped pancake to pair with the goat. (8/10) * Sri Lankan Tea with Milk - As a milk tea lover, I was so happy. The ginger and spice blend gave it such warmth, and they even serve it with a piece of brown rock sugar if you want it sweeter. (10/10) * Watalappan - A spiced coconut flan with cashews for crunch -- rich, fragrant, and perfectly balanced. (10/10) * Kiri Peni - High-quality yogurt drizzled with a light sweet syrup -- simple but so good. (9/10) The food came out fairly quickly, and we were done by 2 p.m. The portions are on the smaller side, but with an appetizer, entrée, and dessert, we left feeling satisfied and not bloated. This makes sense since they take pride in using just spices to cook without oil. Prices are a bit high for the portion size, but I would still consider it a gem in Beacon. I'd definitely come back to try more entrées in the future and check out a spot in the city! IG: Jubes111 Youtube:JujubiFam

Check it out! This place is great. Nice simply delicious food. Very vegetarian friendly. Some flavors I've never had before. Ignore reviews about the ambiance not being good, they've moved locations to a very nice places. Homey simple vibe. Great service and good, very enjoyable dinner.

4.5ish really. The place is cute and decorated as one would expect a sri Lankan restaurant in the middle of suburbia. Outside there is a mural of sigiria, a world heritage site in Sri Lanka. Inside there's the tiki painting of an elephant procession, and q large tb set to a sri Lankan cooking channel. On a Sunday at 6:30pm, the place was empty. The owner/ chef/ waiter greeted our group and gave us time to figure out what we wanted. His son helped a bit with the drinks while the chef was cooking. I applaud his efforts! Okay, onto the food. The chick pea appetizer was very mildly flavored, and for me, someone who appreciates the punch of flavor from sri Lankan food, I was disappointed. My friends who don't know sri Lankan food, loved it. So, I guess the chef was catering to the more common palate of the area. The fish cutlets were absolutely delicious! Perfectly spiced and fried tuna balls... one of my friends found them too spicy... The veggie spring roll was like any you'd buy at Costco.. the veggie samosas had a nice thin shell, and the filling basic. The stars: they had hoppers!!! For this reason alone come here. Sri Lankan restaurants are rare here, and serving hoppers whenever you want is even rarer! Hoppers, for those that don't know, are somewhere between a pancake and a dosa.. each one is individually made, therefore very time consuming.. the order came with 3 regular hoppers and an egg hopper. This egg hope was different in that the egg was scrambled, I've usually had then sunny side up.. it wasn't bad though, just different. It also came with a curry of your choice and a bit of pol sambal. I asked for a sri Lankan spiced level fish curry. It was delicious, but not sri Lankan spiced level, it was very mild by sri Lankan standards... and I get it, he's catering to the majority, but when someone asks for sri Lankan levels, they should be sri Lankan levels. He said that recently someone had severe heart burn from the spice. So, I suggest he just confirm with customers...I was looking for the heat... The shrimp curry, was more of a broth.. an extremely delicious broth that was literally drank after the shrimp was eaten. The string hoppers where made with white rice flour. The pol samba was warm and, again not spicy. The eggplant was fantastic! The kutto roti was mushy and very mildly flavored..I was disappointed with it. The pol roti was very firm and had an almost nutty flavor. It was good. The black tea hit the spot, especially with the molasses brown sugar cubes to suck on. If definitely come back of in in the area.

I love going to this place. It feels like going to someone's home for Sri Lankan food. The ambiance is very homely vibe. The service is great. Everything is super fresh. Owners greet you with a big smile and walk you through the menu if you have any questions. Pol roti - delicious. String hopper - great Veg meal -- delicious. I can eat it every day. So comforting.

First time trying Sri Lanken food. This place was SOOO tasty and healthy. I had the fried rice house special and they gave me a lot of meat that was packed with flavor. The service was so friendly and let us know what was popular. The ambience was calm and reminded me of home.

After passing car dealerships, a Mavis Discount Tire, a laundromat, a Family Dollar, and a Car Wash, I arrived at the Sri Lankan promised land. Red Pepper Diner is a small brick building that looks more like a house or apartment building than a restaurant, but I find these types of restaurants generally have the most character. I walked in at 5:35pm to avoid a dinner rush, but when I opened the brown door, the place was dead. It was only 2 other patrons and I. I stood there awkwardly for a bit as there was no host stand or anything, and just took in the ambiance: Colored tablecloths covering the 8 or so tables with big round placemats at every seat, a few Buddha statues on the window sills, the walls littered with colorful paintings and newspaper clippings with glowing reviews of the place, and a TV playing Sri Lankan ASMR sounds and cooking visuals. It felt more like a spiritual center or a spa than a restaurant. After about 30 seconds, the owner came out and met me with a big smile and a "Just for 1?" He welcomed me to sit anywhere, and I opted on taking a 4 top in the corner as it had the least amount of seating. I sat down with a view of the Foam & Wash Car Wash to my left, and was handed a menu. Off rip, I loved the menu as it was filled with pictures of the food items. I'm sure some people find this tacky, but I love to be able to see what I'm about to order...and don't even get me started on QR codes... The owner was doubling as my waiter, and I asked him what the move was. He kind of recommended everything ahahaha so I just went with one of the House Specialties (Deviled Pork), as I wanted something Sri Lankan authentic, and the Sri Lankan Special Fried Rice because who doesn't like fried rice... I also got an appetizer sampler because I'm a beast. I know what you're thinking, yeah fine, I was a little chunkster... But I came all the way out here and had already logged 20,000 steps by this point so whatever. When I asked the owner if this was too much food, he furrowed his brow and said "No! Just take whatever you don't eat to go..." This was the exact answer I wanted as we both know this was way too much food for one person ahaha. Sometimes I just want someone to tell me what I want to hear. Respect. After ordering and sipping on an Authentic Sri Lankan beer, the food began to roll in. The appetizer sampler was my first victim, with the Vegetable Spring Roll being the standout. Next was the Sri Lankan fried rice with an egg on top, and the presentation was beautiful. It was an amalgamation of fried rice with shrimp, calamari, and chicken garnished with spring onions, fried onions, and fresh coriander sprigs. It was DELICIOUS. I tried to do one of those sexy yolk videos where the egg pours over the rice, but it FLOPPED as I didn't commit hard enough to the slice ahahaha. After I demolished the meal, the owner came over and picked up the clean plate and said, "Look, no oil. Our ingredients the best!" in his heavy accent. He wasn't lyin though! The deviled pork came last, and it was essentially just pork with sauteed onions, peppers, and Traditional Sri Lankan spices. I love how simple, yet flavorful these dishes were. It was filled with flavors my tastebuds have seldom come across, but was fantastic. It was at this point I think the owner saw me taking pictures of the food with my Canon G7X camera, and really turned the hospitality up to 11 ahahahaha. I was pretty full at this point as I had just MOGGED two entrees and an appetizer sampler, but he brought out an authentic Sri Lankan dessert called Kiri Pani for me to try. Kiri Pani is a buffalo curd with a palm sugar syrup. It wasn't for me to be honest ahahaha. My tastebuds felt violated. I did the thing where I kind of mash it around to make it look like I ate more than I did. The food was really starting to settle, so I was FULL at this point. And after that Kiri Pani I just wanted the check, but he brought out another Sri Lankan dessert. I felt like the grinch judging the Who Pudding competition where they are just stuffing desserts in his face as he is just trying to survive ahahaha. But actually, it was super nice and thoughtful. He came over and explained to me what it was but I was so focused on locking in to eat this next dessert that I didn't really hear him. It was something light wrapped in a green little tortilla that tasted coconut flavored. I finished all of it because I'm a warrior, and because it was pretty tasty. I got the check and the owner came up and gave me his business card, and asked me to write reviews on Yelp and google ahahahaha like bro that's literally why I'm here. I got a quota to hit. I paid the $59 tab and walked out. I almost went in the Family Dollar just for shits, but a wise man once told me to stay out of Dollar Stores after the sun goes down.

My only regret is this restaurant isn't closer! They were playing a relaxing video of the Sri Lankan countryside which set the mood. The server was a bit brusque but he seemed knowledgeable. More importantly everything was delicious -- dhal vade (crunchy!!!), Sri Lankan tea (with milk and a bit of fresh ginger!), watalappan (like a spiced version of flan!!!), deviled pork (super tasty), and OMG the rice and curry goat was outstanding! This is well worth a trip to Beacon!

Not just good - GREAT. Fresh, the most authentic flavors, family run, the warmest mom coming by to say hello, fresh flowers decorating the space - I need you to open a spot in NYC PLEASE! We had the fish cutlet, the dhal vade, the beef curry with string hoppers, and the chicken biriani. All 10 outta 10. I'll be back in Wappinger Falls just for this.

Delighted to discover great sri lankan food in Beacon: had the goat briyani, nasi goreng, roti, mango lassis-- everything was fresh and flavorful, glad we made this pitstop after stopping by the d.i.a gallery. Had the curry devil pork to go as extra treat next day, rare to find good from-scratch food like this.

The service was a bit lax. Also the food wasn't very flavorful. For Sri Lankan, there should have been more spice, sauces offered, and appetizers were too fried. What bothered me was the convenience fee for credit cards snuck in on final bill without warning. Please be upfront about that. Food was ok but too much effort to make more Americanized. I tipped fairly but was tempted to tip less. read more

It gets hard keeping it fresh with something new all the time, but this was not a hard decision. I looked at all the reviews and decided I was going to give it a shot. No joke, probably the best meal I've had this year. Fresh, no oil. No grease. Beautiful smells. My palate was delighted. My wife said it was so good.

The food here is so good. It makes sense why they have 5 stars. My husband and I stopped by on our way down from New Paltz. They have ample parking and service here was friendly and fast. We were the first customers of the day so the restaurant was cold but the owner was quick to turn the heater on for us and we were able to get comfortable quickly. The tables are spread apart for Covid and we felt safe eating indoors. We got the deviled pork, dahl, nasi goreng, and beef curry. Each dish was phenomenal. They tasted different from each other and had such a great taste of different spices in your mouth. The curry came with little sides which were also each delicious in itself. The dishes were piping hot and the owner let us know that the spices were majority from Sri Lanka. I liked how the owner was able to tell us that the food was dairy, sugar, and msg free. The flavor from the foods were all from the spices they used which made me feel better about eating such a huge amount. The tea here was also so good. It was 40 degrees that day and with the hot tea and sugar cubes, it was fantastic. My husband and I live in NYC but would gladly make the drive back up to eat here again. read more

An absolute hidden gem in the Hudson Valley, it's a great cozy little restaurant with an awesome vibe and really kind staff. They're more than happy to share their food, history, and fun stories with you, which just adds to the whole experience. My personal favorite dish was the Kachu Roti, a stir fry of egg, crisp pieces of bread, meat, veggies, and spices. Melt in your mouth tender and full of flavor, and goes great with their house hot sauce!! Also tried the Nasi Goreng, recommended by the owner. The mix of seafood and egg was excellent, and I thoroughly enjoyed the fresh and vibrant flavors. The Sri Lankan Tea here is a must to accompany your meal. The spiced cardamom sugar and warm ginger tea is a great combo to wash everything down with, but save some for the end to savor on as well. It's a 30 minute drive from Poughkeepsie, and well worth the time to get there. Come through for a fun dinner and night packed with flavor! read more

While visiting family that had just moved to the area, we decided to grab lunch. A quick review of options on Yelp brought us to the Red Pepper Diner - and we're so glad we decided to dine there! Three of us ordered the buffet: curry chicken (so tender) and curry beef, rice, string hoppers, hoppers, coconut sambol, lentils... a chutney on the side to add a little heat. Fresh fruit and bread were available, but I was too full to make a second trip to the buffet. Everything was so flavorful! The coffee was good, too. The gentleman who seated us and served us was so nice. Definitely a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. We didn't order from the American fare menu, so I do not know what choices are available there. I would certainly recommend lunch at the Red Pepper Diner if you would like to delight your tongue with Sri Lankan flavor. You won't be disappointed! read more

Yes, Red Pepper Diner is a place where you can get "diner food," as per their menu... but why would you want to when you've got all those delicious Sri Lankan dishes available. My first trip here was on a Friday evening for the dinner buffet, and it's a fantastic way to get a sample of a variety of dishes. Tonight, this included pork, a spicy chicken dish, two types of rice, lentils, a leek and potato dish, a cauliflower and rice dish, and a fantastic shredded beet dish of which I could not get enough. Sri Lankan beer was suggested as well, so I tried a porter. It paired well with the food, and it worked well against the spiciness of the chicken dish. Dessert on the buffet included a plate of fruit, mostly mangoes and strawberries, but it also included a flan-type dessert, cut into cubes, with a strong gingerbread flavor. The owners are on the go constantly keeping the buffet well stocked as well as chatting with you. This is a unique experience in the area, and not to be missed! read more

My first time trying Sri Lankan food and it did not disappoint. It looks like a hole in the wall but once you go in, it is very cozy and home-like. They offer a buffet style at $17.99 pp. There are about 4-5 dishes such as chicken curry, lentils, potatoes and leek, two types of rice, beef franks, and their fresh hoppers. The hoppers were delicious with their spicy sauce and all the other sauces from the food. The food were all flavorful and did not taste heavy at all.

I am savoring left overs as I leave this. The owners are friendly and treat you like long-lost friends. (To note: I am not at all affiliated with this restaurant and have never met the owners before). I came for my 34th birthday yesterday Sunday evening to celebrate and savor. I called ahead about COVID restrictions and they said it was not busy for indoor dining so off I went, arrived at 5 pm to see there was only one other table occupied with 2 ladies, the rest of the restaurant was empty. I was seated more than 12 feet away from the other patrons; everything was clean and everyone wore masks. The food was phenomenal and well prepared with a lot of spices, I was full very quickly and had left overs! The mango lassis are very very good and the mousse -like cake I ordered at the end I learned has multiple layer of spices to come up with a nutty complex flavor, I really loved that cake! Midway through my meal the other patrons started to make a fuss in public about the pricing of their dessert and and the owner himself came out to explain to them the reasoning behind his pricing and the size of the cake. One of them would not accept it and became loud and rude and embarrassing. The owner and his wife were distraught and doing all they can to reason with the guest. I felt these guests had no cause for complaint: the premises were clean, everyone was conscientious about their masks, and all seated parties had a pathway and several tables between them: perfectly safe, clean and social-distanced. This restaurant is very conscientious and good. And the food is excellent, and I learned very healthfully made, with all imported ingredients directly from Sri Lanka! I ended up order two of the mango lassi it was awesome with everything. I am so glad I came and will come back again!! read more

My dad and I went for lunch on a Sunday after hearing that this place was great, and we were not disappointed! They had a buffet and we got to taste a bunch of different things, which I'm kind of obsessed with now. Pictured are chicken curry, black pork curry, button mushrooms, chick peas, string hoppers, curry deviled egg, and coconut sambol. Basically every time I ate a thing, it was my new favorite thing, and every time I ate a combination of things, it was my new favorite combination of things. The family who owns it is super nice and they were making hoppers at the hopper station that were also amazing. We also got some Sri Lankan ginger milk tea that was awesome, and really good beer, and some kind of tasty little bread pudding type squares and moist chocolate chip cookiessss. I'm honestly sad I haven't heard of it until today, I have been missing out for a while obviously. read more

Deviled chicken, goat curry, samosas, and the flan-like dessert (watalappan?) were seriously so scrumptious. My partner has lived in beacon for a little over a year now and never tried this place (because of covid, etc). What a mistake! This place is amazing. Seriously, Everything about it. The family who owns the restaurant could not be friendlier or more welcoming. And the food... I've never been to Sri Lanka but this meal has me adjusting me travel bucket list. Yum! read more

This restaurant has a lovely and attentive staff. The food is flavorful and the spiciness level is left to the diner. The food is savory but not heavy or oily. The veggy options and sides are very tasty. The wakalappan dessert was the right amount to sweet and reminded us of pumpkin pie and flan.

After driving by the unassuming spot for months, my wife and I finally decided to stop in and check it out. Several people had informed me as to how amazing this place is and to not let the building itself fool you (don't judge a book by it's cover right?) Every Friday night, they serve a buffet filled with Sri Lankan dishes ($15 per person). As per the owner, the types of foods are rotated on a weekly basis. I wasn't quite sure what to expect as I am quite familiar with Indian but tried not assume that they were one in the same. To make a long story short for you... the food was amazing. I could have asked for a plate as big as a cafeteria tray and would still have needed more space to fill it up. Between the spicy chicken, beef, beets (yes beets) and kale, I couldn't get enough. My favorite was actually a coconut milk mixed with egg fried dough-type concoction (reminded me if Indian poori but much less greasy). Nice sweet taste to it, but not overly so Overall everything was fantastic. Full of flavor, fresh, and absolutely delicious. Pared well with some Sri Lankan beers that they had available as well. Their regular menu has "American" dishes but also features Sri Lankan cuisine as well. The buffet is your best bet so you can sample many at once The owners are really nice people and very grateful for their customers. Great having a place like this and people like them in the community. Stop in and try it out, you'll be glad you did read more

My wife and I have dined at this restaurant several times in the past 19 years. More recently, we…read morehave done more takeout and have not visited the restaurant for a sit down meal in quite a while. I am pleased to report that on a recent Saturday night we had a sublime dining experience. The staff couldn't have been more gracious as they had the luxury of only a half filled dining room. We wanted to take our time and ordered an excellent bottle of wine, a Hugel Pinot Blanc from Alsace, one of the wines by the glass. It's always a winner and was priced at the astonishingly low price of $34/bottle. I've paid as much as $65/btl for this same wine in Manhattan. Our server gave us time to savor a glass of wine before we placed an order for appetizers. Summer Rolls were like having a salad rolled up in an impossibly thin rice wrapper. When dipped in the savory peanut sauce, they became a thoroughly satisfying vegetarian bite. We also ordered the fried dumplings, which put the usual, pasty Chinese restaurant staple to shame. These were light and crisp with a well seasoned, generous pork and chicken filling. Our main courses were, once again, amazing. The Pad Siew was richly satisfying with tender, succulent chunks of pork and wide rice noodles in a savory sauce. The roasted duck in red curry was a marvel of crispy skin and moist meat - half a crispy roasted duck in a Thai red curry sauce with onions, bamboo shoots, bell peppers, pineapple and Thai basil. Normally, I am not a fan of fruit in my main course, but here it perfectly complemented the spicy curry and the rich duck. The longevity of this restaurant (it was here when we moved to Beacon 19 years ago) is clearly a function of the professional and friendly staff and a kitchen that continues to turn out precisely prepared Thai cuisine. Looking back, I have to say that Sukhothai has gotten better over the years - not something that happens very often.
