Mutton rolls are packed with enough meat and potato. Kothu is flavourful and spicy.

I kindly request that food be kept in hygienic conditions. I ordered porotta with mutton curry and unfortunately found a long hair in the curry. So disappointed with your service.

I placed an order for 10 large boxes of special Poorani noodles, confirmed over the phone on Thursday, September 19 at 5:25pm and arranged to pick it up on Saturday, September 21, at 9 AM. I traveled a long way to collect the order for an important event, only to find that my order was not processed. When I approached the front desk, the staff member, Rishma, was extremely rude and refused to take any accountability for the mistake. Despite showing her my phone receipt with the timestamp proving I confirmed the order, she repeatedly told me, “You may have called.” There was no attempt to resolve the issue or provide a better solution for the inconvenience. This restaurant clearly lacks an organized ordering system, and their staff are in dire need of customer service training. I cannot recommend this place, as they fail to take responsibility and offer no alternatives when things go wrong. Very disappointing experience.

The owner should ensure that workers are treated with respect and that their working conditions are safe, especially during the scorching summer days when the heat can be overwhelming. On a positive note, the food here is excellent.

I occasionally buy rice and curries and snacks from Poorani Vilaas. The quality is usually moderate. Recently, I have had a worse experience. The curry rotis were spoiled at the time I bought. I returned it and got the cashback immediately. I also bought faluda as well, and it was awful. Selling spoiled food items is a serious wrongdoing in the restaurant business. Happy to change my review if the owners take steps to improve the quality of the food.

Used to enjoy their veggie noodles. Now, there are no veggies, just noodles. Box isn't even 3/4 full. Got Mutton roll today. It was clearly refried and burned on the outside. The filling had gone bad. Mutton kothu also went bad. Everything went in the trash. Will not be buying anything from here again. Please do better. Food safety is important.

I stopped at this local Sri Lankan take our place on my way home from a night shift. I ordered the Idli breakfast - this includes 2 dosa, 2 Idli, a vada, coconut chutney, sambar and your choice of coffee or tea. It was just what you could hope for. The dosas were light and not greasy. The Idli were fluffy, the vada had a lovely texture. Much better than what I’ve been getting at Babu. I also ordered a few veggie samosas. These I was less impressed with. The shell wasn’t crispy, it was oily, and there wasn’t anything particularly memorable about the veggie filling.

Mutton kothu was good and made fresh but there wasn't enough to mutton in it. I also expected it to be more spicy because I know how much south Indians/Sri Lankans love their spice. The mutton rolls are delicious but the $1.50 price tag is a bit much. The servers work fast and are easy to deal with. A really small place, it does get really busy and hot inside. The food is good and the portions are large, I'll definitely be going back
