"Opened just before Christmas, and highly recommended by my colleagues - we work just across the road, so very handy! But even the convenience wouldn't keep us going if the food wasn't delicious! Menu card has 'kiwi' favourites on one side (delicious wraps and burgers) and Sri Lankan dishes and sides on the other. Both are highly recommended, all delicious (we now have a couple of menu cards in the lunchroom at work). And the proprietor is charming - has years of experience in restaurants, and decided just before Christmas to open his own business. I'd encourage everyone to support him - delicious food, fair prices, open more often than not, and a lovely proprietor - what more could you want?"
