I ordered chicken curry Sri lankan Style. But it's totally not Sri lankan Style. It doesn't taste like Sri Lankan curry at all.
Had a brunch at Shanti with my wife on 4th June 2023. I had a masala dosa while my wife had a plain dosa from the Sri Lankan weekend fare. Both the dosas were crisp and papery and the sambol dips and the sambar went well with the dosas. The potato filling in the masala dosa was spicy and quite tasty.
Our beverage was chai tea which had a unique taste of spices to complement our meal.
As we were the first customers that Sunday morning, the service was prompt. The background instrumental music comprised soothing familiar melodies from the 1960s and 1970s.
Overall, it was a very pleasant and enjoyable brunch. We bought a few take-away vadas which went well with our afternoon tea at home.
Very tasty Sri Lankan cuisine will be back again.
Was there on mother's day sunday, placed order at 5.50pm over the counter, got charged extra 10 cents for card payment. they never advise about it. after payment went through, the server said the wait for my takeaway order will be 30 mins. there was one other couple inside the restaurant. my food came only after 40 minutes. i told the server i was unhappy being told 30 mins wait time. she said "as you can see we are very busy". Beware for all the online and phone call orders while waiting for your meals in store, and all these online customers that you cant really see. So many food delivery guys coming in and out with paper bags of food while I was waiting for my $17.90 of 5 pieces of chicken in a lot of curry sauce and $11.90 of 4 pieces of paneer pakora. Server said it was my pakora that is taking time. However it was unclear how deepfried cheese could take that long. Curry is yummy. Will not order again though.
Sadly Food quality has declined. Used to order regularly. 😪 my recent 2 orders were very salty and poor quality. Paneer was rubbery, bland and tasteless. Definitely poor commercial paneer. Butter chicken was of poorer quality, way too salty and dry and burned. Sadly, as I was a regular customer.
