Sigiri - Rice and Chicken Combo - Indian Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

What a terrific find. It's one of the reasons I love Yelp! I've never heard of this place nor have I had Sri Lankan food before. We figured we'd give it a chance and we are so glad we did. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was quick and friendly and we left very very happy we ordered crab curry and the rice wrapped in banana leaves I don't remember the name of that dish though. the crab curry was awesome! We were talking about it for days afterward. Highly recommended! read more

The fish cutlets are awesome. Loved the spicy crab curry but would have preferred if they had used fresh crab instead of frozen Alaskan crab legs. The place doesn't have a good ambiance to sit and eat. Its better for take-out. The NY location is better for dine-in. read more

Kothu Paratha chicken is amazing. Chicken lamprais is a must try!! Small place but clean. read more

Sigiri - Indian Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Saw it on the way, checked yelp and one hour later we were having the delicious food! So much variety and everything seems tempting. We had chicken lamprais and kottu roti with a ginger tea and flan to finish with! Everything was good. Service was excellent. We will definitely go again to try other stuff on the menu. Apparently there is one in Manhattan too which was visited by Anthony Bourdain. Definitely recommended!! read more

Tiny little place with a simple ambience and delicious food, simple yet delicious! This is a must must must try! It is such a little place you might just miss it while driving by- but once you find this gem there is no way you are not coming back here! Go for their Saturday buffet. The food is slow cooked in clay containers and are scrumptious. Try their bitter-melon salad- i never knew bitter-melon would taste so good! read more

I tried first time Sri Lankan food, it's really grt I will love to go back Real taste of spices read more

We went today on Sunday. They had buffet $12 which is economical for the choices. Wish they would have had maybe a two - three more choices. Anyway the dishes were tasty. Mutton curry with the sri lankan and Fish cutlets were awesome read more

Unique, lovely Sri Lankan cuisine. The lunch special is a great deal. You get 2 fresh vegetables, pappadam, and chicken and rice with curry on the side. And oh yeahh, it's tender and delicious ! If they have the sautéed mushrooms then you are a lucky individual. read more

Just love everything about this place! Flavors galore and lovely service. It's a little restaurant with fold up tables and chairs - not fancy, but the food is such a delight. read more

Good food...the rice & veggies lunch special with fish curry & papadums are great value for money.

This was my first time having Sri Lankan food and it was excellent. A lot of the same great flavors as South Indian food with some characteristics that were new to me. Try the crab curry, and definitely include some indi appam (string hoppers) in your order. read more

A woman from Sri Lanka told me this was one of the best restaurants serving Sri Lankan food in the entire US. We dropped in on a Sunday night just before closing and there was no one there except the owner and a few staff people. There were very welcoming and helpful in explaining the different dishes. I can't even remember the names of the dishes but they were DELICIOUS. The place is small and unassuming but the flavors, textures and ingredients are really distinctive and very flavorful. We are going back for their Sunday buffet to sample a broader range of things. Highly recommended. read more

My 9 year old absolutely adores food in this place :-) If you ask him where he wants to go eat - Sigiri is the first thing that he would say. The food tends to be spicy, as it should, so not for everyone, but if you like spicy and authentic - you came to the right place. Great food, nice service. read more

A great restaurant for keralites and other south Asians looking for familiar tastes. So, all the Keralites on this site, head to this place if you want Puttu (or Pittu), Appam etc Very good food with great service. Recommend crab curry with hoppers or pittu for anyone planning to visit this place. read more

This was my first time getting Sri Lankan food and everything was divine, and super reasonably priced. We ordered the eggplant moju, godamba roti, and the crab curry. The eggplant was an amazing flavor of spicy, sweet, and sour, and it was hard to stop eating. We kept going back with our roti to sop up all of the curry in the crab dish, which was also delicious. I also should mention that our food came with a side of dal, which was also beautifully spiced with a great coconut flavor. I cannot wait to get more food from Sigiri! read more

Big time find. Read about it in the NYC April 2013. Great food. Really different dishes that are flavorful, spicy and memorable. I had the curry crab and it was perfect. The crab tasted fresh and the sauce was perfect. My wife had the vegetable stab and also loved it. Good appetizers, BYO and great meal. We'll go back, for sure. read more

DeeeeeLICIOUS!! First time having Sri Lankan Food and I must say it's very similar to indian and Malaysian. I ordered the chicken rice & curry combo, it came with a lot of variations in flavors and taste. Would definitely come here again. read more

A tale of two Sigiris. "A picture is worth a thousand words" said the manager while helping me out with the selection on the menu. I had pretended complete ignorance of Sri Lankan cuisine and left my decision entirely in his hands. He described two dishes that were most popular at his restaurant: a complex production called Lamprais (curried rice, caramelized onions, plantains, eggplant, boiled egg, spiced with cloves, black pepper, cayenne and a blend of curry spices - with a choice of meat curry steamed inside a wrapped banana leaf) and the Kotthu Roti. As I debated between the two, he added that Sri Lankan cuisine should be seen as a mixture of South Indian and Thai cuisine - given the ubiquitous popularity of Pad Thai, the conceptually similar Kotthu Roti would be a better choice. The menu describes four level of spiciness to the preparation, and I chose the 3rd one: Spicy - knowing well the ability of Sri Lankans to turn up the heat index, I wisely stayed a notch below the maximum. I have to confess that I fell in love with Kotthu Roti. As I understand, it's one of the most famous street foods in Sri Lanka that has evolved from a poor man's dish to now even being served in high end restaurants. The preparation of Kotthu Roti involves pulverizing the ingredients (meat, garlic, onion, ginger, mustard, fenugreek, cardamom, eggs, chilli powder, curry powder, tamarind - now you appreciate the depth of Sri Lankan cuisine in handling the diverse flavors!!) with two blunt metal cleavers on an iron tray over a gas burner in a way that would create a din... which I expect is also a way of announcing the dish to potential customers. I almost licked the plate clean, bringing a smile to the manager who turned around after 5 minutes to inquire "how was the dish? Oh, I see you liked it" :) I had also thoroughly enjoyed the Mulligatawny Soup ("Pepper Water") with chicken stock, black pepper, coriander, cumin, ginger, garlic, cinnamon, and tomatoes - and this has become one of my favorite soups for the year going into the winter season. Sigiri was also the first place where I tried and enjoyed the Watalappan: a coconut custard made from coconut milk, jaggery, cardamom, cloves, nutmeg, and eggs. I think the manager heated a cold version and served it to me, for one could sense two different temperatures during consumption - but I've still gotten hooked on to this. I also got two different candies to go: one was a coconut toffee (Pol Dosi?) that reminded me a lot of the Indian Burfi, while the other was a sesame toffee - almost paste like in texture and distinct from any other I've had. Between the locations, I much prefer the NJ one for both the earnest consideration of the owner and the ability to amplify the spice level without detracting from the taste, while offering milder versions to palates unaccustomed to heat. However, there's no way to satisfy everyone, particularly the geniuses who fail to distinguish that they are eating a cuisine with a distinct, and glorious heritage from what they've experienced before in Indian restaurants. read more

Great food. Mild spices but very flavorful. We get takeout so I can't speak to the service. They're always friendly and do a good job packaging the takeout, though. Very reasonably priced. The curry combos are an excellent deal. If you've never had Sri Lankan food, definitely try it if you like Caribbean, Ethiopian, and/or South Indian food. read more

We love Sigiri. The service is enormously friendly and courteous, and the food is so yummy. Chicken kotthu roti, biryani, and gothambu roti are in our regular rotation. The veggie curries are awesome - unique, flavorful, and satisfying every time, and the pumpkin curry is one of the most fantastic things I have ever had. It is a favorite. read more

Great spicy food. Anyone looking for authentic Sri Lankan cuisine. Check this place out. Kothu Roti is my favorite.

My gf and I went to this Sri Lankan place on a Friday night. We were a little concerned that no one else was there, but it was a little later in the evening, and the strip mall isn't a very lively one to begin with. I agree with the previous post concerning the ambiance. There isn't much. We got take out ourselves so it didn't matter. At the least, the place is very clean, and does have some nice ethnic touches. The two people who took our order/chatted with us were super friendly and gave good descriptions seeing as how we were new to Sri Lankan food. I got String Hopper Kotthu - a sort of chopped pad thai kind of dish. I got medium spice which was definitely hot enough. My girlfriend got the rice & curry combo, which is a great deal for $7.50. She got the chicken with it, and it also came with lentils, chopped kale, savory plaintains, and some other root veggie that reminded me of artichoke hearts. All of it was fresh, well-spiced, and really delicious. I also got the watalappam for dessert - a kind of flan with definite brulee flavors. My only complaint was that it was pretty small for $4. Great overall experience! Hope others will try this place out. I plan on doing so again soon. read more

A great place to try out the Srilankan cuisine. Excellent food and good variety. Make sure to tell them low to medium spicy, if you cannot handle spicy food. :) read more

Chicken lamprais and fish cutlets are amazing! Love this place! Its the perfect mix of Indianand Sri Lankin dishes so you can get a variety.

Delicious and authentic; tasted just like Sri Lanka. The owner and his family were extremely nice and welcoming.

This is one of my 'Go to ' place , I find the food is authentic , not greasy like other places , so I love to dine here again and again . The hostess here is very kind. My favorite dish is chicken curry combo . read more

Yummy food and good staff. The weekend buffet is worth a try. My personal favs on the menu are the Wallappam dessert and the fish cutlets. Delicious!!!!!! Call ahead a grab some to go, perfect snack for a cold winters night. read more

Sri Lankan food in a sea of Indian restaurants

I wanted to like this place but was utterly disappointed ...The service was so-so and the food was not tasty at all to put it best.

Very good food. I made the mistake of ordering the muligatawny soup extra spicy, and boy was it hot! The fish roll was average, but the black mutton curry was outstanding, just be careful of the occasional bone. I look forward to going back, maybe on a Sunday when they have a $10.95 buffet. read more

Have lost count of the number of times i have been to this place! Awesome! Cant say enough! The fish curry combo (cutting it close to the South Indian Kerala style red fish curry) served with rice, dal and a veggie side priced at just $8 is my absolute favorite! Good service and the owner is very friendly too. read more

Amazing!! Just remembered how good this place is! Tried them first at Taste of Spring in Rahway, then went to the restaurant. The wonderfully attentive staff walked us through their menu and brought us wonderful dish after wonderful dish. To be clear, I am not a fan of Indian food in general. But Sri Lankan is a whole other story! I'll be back soon! read more

What a fantastic experience ! I went to Sigiri for the first time today with my fiancé and his family. The food was delicious, exotic, and prepared to perfection. I enjoyed trying all the new flavors. My in-laws are from Sri Lanka and told me that the food at Sigiri is very authentic. While we were there we ran into other Sri Lankan ex-pats who come to Sigiri all the time because of their authentic and delicious cuisine. I wanted to take the time to write them a good review because of their phenomenal service, careful preparation of our meal, and incredible quality that they put into their restaurant. We had a lovely time and I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone!! The manager who served us is named Pushpa - his brother is fantastic too. read more

Very interesting Sri Lanken food. Never had it before, but I would definitely go back. Try the poppers.

It was good but not as great as i expected its more of takeouts then dine in . i tried chicken lampras n chicken kotthu roti both were above average. There was just one person behind the counter who was managing everything he was good. read more

Being in the mood for Indian and also never having tried Sri Lankan before I figured, why not? I was completely surprised at how good Sigiri was! I may forego Indian in favor of Sri Lankan in the future. The Rotni Pol was a definite taste treat that I did not expect. The Sri Lankan Beef Stew, again, was an absolute delight. The layout was a bit uncomfortable and the dining room much too small. However, the service and friendly staff made the trip there worth while. read more

Ordered for the gothamba roti and sad news...it wasnt fresh! Was made long back and jus warmed and given. The roti was hard and rubbery as ever. Then the prawn curry and rice.. Rice was undercooked and i had to have it changed. The prawns were hard and not cooked at all... All in all a bad experience!! read more

We ordered food ahead and it took an hour after we arrived to get our food. The service is pathetic and the food is definitely not like it's sister joint in NYC read more

A unique cuisine similar to the states of Kerala and Tamilnadu. Chicken wrapped in banana leaf was really good. The fried rice and idiyyapam was good too. Yes it's a little on the pricier side and they'd prefer payment by cash than card. The ambience is ok and the place is small to accommodate a large crowd. read more
