The other day, on my way to "Sugita," I saw a line forming in front of this restaurant two doors down, so I decided to visit it again. I arrived 15 minutes before opening time to avoid the line, and there was no line. It turns out that you can get in without waiting on weekdays. The restaurant has a slightly long depth, giving off an Italian or French vibe. There is a Sri Lankan chef in the kitchen and a Japanese woman in charge of the hall. For lunch, you can choose between the "Lunch Plate" (800 yen) or the "Sri Lankan Plate" (1,200 yen). Both options offer a similar selection of dishes, with the only difference being the quantity. You can choose between chicken, pork, or fish curry (mackerel on this day). The combination seems to have remained the same for a long time, with mackerel being the only fish option. While a Japanese chef might change things up monthly, it seems to be different with a local focus. I ordered the "Sri Lankan Plate," which included pork curry, dal and purple yam curry, beet curry, kale sambol, pumpkin curry, string bean teldala, Sri Lankan red rice, basmati rice, and papadum all served on one plate. The pork was in bite-sized pieces, the beet curry was easily identifiable by its color, and the dal resembled scrambled eggs. The string beans and pumpkin were also distinct. Underneath it all were basmati rice and red rice. While it was enjoyable to taste each dish separately, mixing them together enhanced the flavors. Considering the price, the portion size left something to be desired. However, the taste was undeniably at the level of its reputation. It offers a different deliciousness compared to Indian cuisine, making it a place worth looking forward to.

Today's lunch was at Koreamai, Serendip, where I had rice and curry. I chose the pork curry. It was less spicy than the usual saba curry, and the umami flavor of the pork from Amami stood out. Spicy, gentle, flavorful, and enjoyable. Delicious as always. I am completely satisfied today. #Serendip #Lankafan #Mixmixhereandthere #Completelysatisfied

I really wanted to go to Pelican Cafe, but there was a line and I didn't know when I could get in, so I gave up and walked around. I saw this place and decided to give it a try. I chose the lunch curry (chicken) for 1000 yen. It was served in about 5 minutes, which was nice and quick. I was told to mix it little by little before eating, so I did just that. The flavors were complex and delicious! But it was quite spicy. I guess this is what authentic Sri Lankan curry tastes like. I also appreciated the healthy aspect of the dish. I wish there were more places like this nearby. Thank you for the meal!

When I think of Sri Lankan curry, I remember Bandaranka in Yotsuya Sanchome. I haven't tried any other Sri Lankan curries, so I'm looking forward to it. Japanese curry suits me best, but sometimes I crave a spicy curry. I visited around 1 pm on a weekday. The restaurant was busy, but there was space at the counter. I ordered the Sri Lankan curry for 1400 yen. Various ingredients arrived in about 5 minutes. At first, it was spicy, so I ate it while drinking cold water. But I quickly got used to it and enjoyed each ingredient separately - okra, chicken, maybe beets? Everything was delicious! When mixed together, it was incredibly tasty! It seemed to have a sweating effect, making my body feel warm. Sri Lankan curry feels like a healthy meal, and it was the best lunch.

Sri Lanka Plate for 1400 yen, you can choose between mackerel, chicken, or pork. I chose pork. But later, someone else ordered mackerel and had a hard time deciding? The plate came with beet curry, kale sambol, basmati rice, and papadam. In addition to the Sri Lanka Plate, we also ordered okra curry, coconut sambol, winter melon curry, and Sri Lankan red rice. Oh! It was spicy and quite hot! The flavors mixed together were enjoyable! It's hard to describe, but the coconut flavor helped balance out the spiciness. The pork was surprisingly tough... If I come back next time, should I choose chicken or mackerel? It was delicious! I'm full! Thank you for the meal!

The colors are vibrant and the balance of flavors is exquisite. The oil and salt are subtle, giving a healthy feel. There is a satisfying feeling as well. The amount of chili pepper seems to be moderate for Japanese taste. They have a variety of famous whiskies such as Arak, Yamazaki, Hakushu, and Yoichi. The dinner must be served in a nice atmosphere. The restaurant has a small space with 4 counter seats and 12 table seats, totaling 16 seats. Even after 1:30 PM, almost 90% of the seats were occupied. The service was friendly. I left the restaurant with a warm smile from the chef, the owner. I feel like I understand why this restaurant is popular. I will definitely come back, maybe for dinner next time.

I love curries with lots of mixed ingredients, so I was curious to visit this place. I chose the chicken curry and it had a variety of ingredients, which made it really delicious! However, the chicken curry was very spicy. It wasn't too spicy to the point where I couldn't finish it, but I had to drink water periodically while eating it. If the spiciness was toned down just a little bit, I would have enjoyed it even more. I recommend it to people who like spicy food!

I had the opportunity to be treated to Sri Lankan cuisine for a while, and I think that Sri Lanka, being an island nation surrounded by the sea, should promote its fish dishes more. Today, I had the option of choosing mackerel. There were also red beets, red rice, lentils, jackfruit, sambol (a spicy relish) which included vegetables, and a complex sauce made with coconut. I still don't fully understand everything, but it's worth the challenge. It's amazing! I recommend that everyone not just easily assume they understand curry just by the name, but try to uncover the various components. I also discovered a restaurant that I must visit multiple times!

Upon revisiting, the Sri Lankan curry here is still delicious. The flavor of garlic, the kick of chili, and the aroma of curry spices are all well-balanced. The staff are also friendly and willing to explain how the seasoning is done. I highly recommend this place.

I visited this restaurant recommended by someone I follow. [Location] It is about a 6-minute walk from Exit 2 of Tawaramachi Station on the Ginza Line. [Visit Date] Visited around 1:05 PM on a weekday. [Atmosphere] The restaurant has a stylish and calm atmosphere with both counter and table seating. A wide range of customers, from individuals to groups, were using the restaurant. [Food] I ordered the Sri Lankan Plate (chose the mackerel curry). The food was served in about 5 minutes after ordering. The staff advised me to mix the dishes while eating, which made the complex flavors enjoyable until the end. It was spicy with a hint of bonito flakes and pickled plum flavor. [Service] Polite customer service. [Payment] Credit card (touch payment). [Overall] I haven't had much Sri Lankan food before, but it was delicious and had flavors similar to Japanese cuisine. I recommend this restaurant for those interested in trying Sri Lankan cuisine for the first time.

I visited the restaurant as soon as it opened, so I was able to get a table right away. By noon, it was already full, so I'm glad I went early. I ordered the Sri Lankan plate with mackerel. There are two types of plates to choose from, but I recommend the Sri Lankan plate with everything on it. For the main curry, you can choose from mackerel, chicken, or pork. Various curries and side dishes come on one plate. It was very delicious, with authentic flavors. You can tell that each dish is carefully made. The chef's skills are excellent, and they take their cooking seriously. The balance of flavors is perfect. It's different from Indian curry, with more vegetables and healthier. The rice is fluffy basmati rice that goes well with the curry. Some curries are a bit spicy, but still within a tolerable range. In fact, they are delicious. If I had one suggestion, it would be that I personally prefer the curry to be hotter. However, maybe Sri Lankans typically eat it at a lukewarm temperature. It might actually help bring out the flavors better, so maybe it's fine as it is. The service was attentive. Also, you can get a large portion for an extra 100 yen. Since the taste is delicious and doesn't get boring, I would like to try ordering a large portion next time. I also want to try the meat curries.

On Sunday at 1pm, I waited 5 minutes and sat at the counter. I ordered the Sri Lankan Plate with chicken. It included 4 types of curry (chicken, lentil, beet, mutton), 2 types of rice (basmati, Sri Lankan red rice), 2 types of sambol (kale, coconut), broccoli mallung, and papadum on one plate. The curry was spicy and made me sweat, the sambol had a tangy flavor, and each dish had a distinct taste. Mixing them together made it even more enjoyable. The service was calm and the restaurant was lovely.

Serendib in Kuramae✨ I chose the mackerel from the Sri Lankan plate! Also ordered Ceylon tea♬ The flavors are well balanced and enjoyable even before mixing them together (*^o^*) There is a huge okra tel dala hidden behind the papad, which goes perfectly with the rice! The curry eaten with sambol and fish is the best combination! (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)

Today, on Mountain Day holiday, I entered Edo with a Gunma license plate... After a meeting, I was worried about the highway traffic jam, but feeling hungry, I called at 11:09 and got a positive response. I was told there are two parking spaces in the coin parking next to the restaurant... Truly a stroke of luck ♡ At 11:38, I was able to smoothly park... While taking photos of the storefront, I opened the door with excitement (^^♪ Surprisingly, even though they open at 11:30, there were already 11 customers seated! I was quickly given a nice spot at the end of the counter, perfect for an eel enthusiast like me. I ordered the Sri Lankan Plate with pork for 1,400 yen ♡ As I mixed and ate the dish at 11:53, the curry, which was milder compared to the one in Hamamatsu, gradually became spicier. The Sri Lankan curry plate was delicious, but personally, I prefer a curry with a thinner consistency. The couple next to me ordered the "saba" dish, which looked delicious. 3.60 stars from 174 people.

I waited in line outside for about 10 minutes, but the turnover was fast and I got in quickly. The menu is simple and easy to choose from, with plates available in choices of mackerel, chicken, or pork. This time, I chose chicken, but I heard mackerel also goes well with Sri Lankan curry! You eat by mixing the ingredients on the plate, and with various spices and ingredients mixed in, each bite tastes different, making it a very unique dish! It has a lingering spicy kick, but it was delicious. It may be a bit spicy for those who don't like spicy food.

I wanted to go there before, but they were temporarily closed. Finally, I made it for a late lunch. Luckily, the restaurant was open. It was my first time being seated at the counter, and the high chairs were surprisingly comfortable and stable. There were two lunch options available, but you couldn't choose the spiciness level. I went for the spiciest option I could handle. The curry was filled with various ingredients, allowing me to enjoy the flavors individually or mixed together. They didn't offer milky drinks like lassi or milk tea, which I think would go well with curry. The staff was polite, and the new restaurant had a calm atmosphere. It's easy to see why it's popular. I will definitely visit again.

I have visited a few times, and it's really delicious! The spice blend is tailored to Japanese tastes, and the beet and vegetable curry that you can mix in with the curry is exquisite. You can choose from mackerel, pork, and chicken. I'm not a fan of oily fish, so even though the mackerel was full of spices, I found the smell a bit off-putting.

I chose the chicken curry lunch plate at a Sri Lankan curry restaurant! There were three main curry options: chicken, pork, and mackerel. I chose chicken curry and dhal curry, and it came with side dishes. It looked great and I enjoyed the variety of flavors. Mixing a little bit of everything together created a different taste, which was fun.

I wanted to eat delicious curry, so I visited the restaurant in the sweltering heat. Unfortunately, the mackerel curry I was aiming for was sold out, so I ordered the lunch plate instead. The Sri Lankan curry with its unique spices and fluffy rice was truly delicious. I would like to visit again and try the mackerel curry next time.

I had errands nearby on Sunday, so I visited this restaurant again with a friend. The food was delicious, and since not many other restaurants are open on Sundays, we decided to go there. Today I had the chicken, which was tender and delicious, with a nice level of spiciness. They had sold out of fish for the day, but the Ceylon tea was really good, especially on a hot day. I also appreciated that they included cookies with the tea. The staff were friendly, and I definitely want to go back if I'm in the area again.

I arrived at the restaurant for Sunday lunch around 11:20, 10 minutes before opening, and there was already a line. I managed to get a table on the first round. The interior of the restaurant was bright and stylish, with a cafe-like atmosphere. I ordered the meal plate of the day for 1,000 yen. I chose the mackerel curry from the options of pork, chicken, and mackerel. Along with the mackerel curry, there were beets, curry kale, dal curry, coconut curry, and bean crackers-like snacks on the plate. Mixing them all together made for a delicious meal. The flavors were not too strong, making it easy to eat. However, one of the dishes, possibly the dal curry, was extremely spicy, making me sweat while eating. I ended up finishing a whole bottle of water due to the heat. Despite the spiciness, I enjoyed the meal on a hot day.
