It was my first time trying Sri Lankan food so I can't really say if it was the best. All I know is I really enjoyed the food. It was similar to Indian food but not spicy at all and less herbs which make you taste more on those fresh ingredients like banana flower, leek, long beans, and other greens I don't remember the name. The menu on that day I went was very simple as if you want vegan or meat choice. My plate came with few different kind of curries, roti, and some kind of chips. I also got some fresh chili on the side because I mentioned I like spicy food. A lady who served me explained every single ingredients on my plate and she gave me a Sri Lankan coffee to try at the end. It was a coffee that you can also taste ginger and coriander all together...very interesting! Everything was so different and new to me. I was really happy with food and service. This restaurant is the tiniest restaurant in Oslo. Even though they have about 5 small tables inside but I don't think you can comfortable fit more than 8 ppl. Reservation is highly recommended during the weekend. Nothing fancy here and it was truly a hole in the wall kinda place BUT it's a must if you are in Oslo. You won't regret it! read more

Unique experience with low pressure (but high enthusiasm!) to commit to the Dining Experience option of two dining options. We did the second option- the Street Food option- which gives you one plate to sample a bunch of tasty portions that make up a very filling meal. If you choose the former, according to the owner, you get a full course meal (app, entree, dessert, etc.) over several hours and a thorough explanation of each food's significance and the culture behind it. You still get a brief explanation of each portion on the Street Food plate, which is helpful because you don't get to choose- they give you what they give you! Fresh coconut water was delicious. Served in the coconut. Roti was very flavorful, lamb was so tender, everything blended well together. We were both VERY full after one serving each of the Street Food option. Very hospitable host. Kind of divey setup, but common in Oslo. Tables at a quite narrow/small indoor alleyway. Really beautiful courtyard with additional seating. Heaters and attentive staff. Apartment dwellers come through the very narrow restaurant when leaving their rooms, which was strange at first. Good luck finding the bathroom, you'll know what I mean. All in all, a really unique and enjoyable experience! read more
