The lure for me was the promise of Sri Lankan food, more specifically from the Tamil north of the island. In Malaysia, the 'Indian' food is from southern Indian/Sri Lankan roots. and I sometimes feel like reminiscing. Well, I can confirm that the taste is authentic, right down to the fiery heat from many of their curries. This is not the curry house for a curry virgin! Look out for string hoppers - bundles of rice vermicelli fried in curry. Try the dhosas - pancakes filled with spicy potatoes. Go for more unusual meats like mutton. The decor may be minimal but service is fast and the prices rock bottom. Add in BYOB and you've got great value for money. Also, if you feel the fiery curry may just kill you, there should be a friendly medical student not too far away to save you, hopefully!

Because they eat here often, they've become friendly with the chef, and frequently he will prepare them something that's not on the regular menu. When he heard we were visiting from the States, he went all out to make us feel welcome. We trusted him to whip up something special and we weren't disappointed. He presented us with several delicious dishes, including chicken coconut curry, tandoori fish, and a tangy lemon rice. Because we didn't order from the regular menu I can't recommend specific dishes, but based on what we ate I'm sure no matter what you try you won't be disappointed.

I've walked by this restaurant a few times and didn't really have much of a draw so walked right by. My Malaysian friend pointed out that she really likes this chain veggie restaurant and its located all over the world. I went for lunch and it wasn't too busy during the week. I liked that there was automatically a jug of water at the table. There's so much to chose from and I was particularly interested in the chinese fusion stuff. Paneer fried rice! What to get... I look around and looks like the dosa is the popular thing on the menu. I haven't had a proper dosa in years. I've had the ones you get at street fairs and they always seem to disappoint. There are so many to chose from but I went with the masala dosa. It comes out pretty quickly and it's really as good as it gets. It's so good and shockingly cheap. It was only £3.25! I do want to come back and try some of the other dishes.

I said to my server, "I'm a little mad you... because if your English breakfast is THIS GOOD I'm going to have to come back for the food you actually specialize in!" Everything was cooked to absolute perfection with impeccable flavor. The restaurant was very clean and tidy; I love to see that during COVID. If you're looking for a filling breakfast or a place with a massively diverse menu that can satisfy a multitude of dietary interests and allergies I couldn't recommend this place more. They also have a student discount, so don't forget to ask about that before you pay!!

Didn't enjoy the food, yet was frustrated and annoyed with their poor and not caring attitude. It took them 95 minutes and 3 chasing telephone calls to deliver a simple order. Their web site stated delivery within 45-60 minutes and free delivery over £15. Yet they charged me £1.5 for delivering an order for £25. Wouldn't recommend them to anyone, don't trust them and wouldn't order food from them. We order takeaway to enjoy good quality food being cooked by someone professional and delivered on time with reasonable price and not be frustrated and be annoyed by a bunch of incompetent cowboys with an average quality of food and unreasonable charges.

It's a halal restaurant owned and staffed by Muslims, so neither pork dishes or alcohol are available. It's not that big a deal the food's good but non-meat options are extremely limited too, with just four dishes in the menu's vegetarian list. Although almost any SE Asian dish can be prepared with vegetables and/or a meat substitute by their very accommodating chef, this wasn't clear from the menu. Tofu 'wasn't delivered today' so their one Tofu-based dish wasn't available, so the chef made me an off-menu Thai Red curry with vegetables, which was very good, but not spectacular and at £9.50 (inc rice) seemed expensive, for its location the small stretch of nowhere on Hoe St between the Baker's Arms and Walthamstow, opposite a Tesco garage. Interestingly, a selection of lobster dishes were listed, and I wondered how many customers would shell out £44 to eat crustacea in the E17 hinterland. Decor is interesting but seating is uncomfortable walls artexed in a sand colour to evoke a desert setting, wooden chairs and tables, with benches/booths at the back where it's not quite possible to sit up to the tables because they're solid. Walthamstow has become extremely cosmopolitan, so there's something very apt about a restaurant that's owned by a Burmese guy, staffed by young men from Pakistan, and that serves food from Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Burma. I was psyched to discover it as only the two other places I know of Chequers pub in the High St. and a greasy spoon near the bottom of Queens Rd on Markhouse Rd serve Thai food, and not all the time. I rarely drink and I don't eat meat, so at first Thainese seemed like an ideal choice, but its lack of vegetarian choices, uncomfortable seating and high prices for the area wouldn't have me rushing back for dinner. Pad Thai is missing from the menu a plate of this for £6.50 probably would.
