Ceylonta Restaurant - Ottawa

5 stars is doing injustice to this place. First time tried Sri Lankan cuisine and it's so good. The host was super friendly and suggested us the best when we were indecisive. Platters are large in size so I say one can be shared by 2. Definitely suggested.

Great food, great cocktails, great service, great music! We especially loved Pol Sambol and Kothu Roti both unique and delicious. Good value too. Our bill was higher than others because we got drinks, ate way too much and brought home leftovers.

One of the best restaurants in all of Ottawa! Excellent south Indian and Sri Lankan resto with some modern touches; the cooks here are stellar. In particular, the sampler platter, dosa and shrimp dish were scrumptious ?

Giving it 3 stars for the taste, which is 5 stars, but the service is 2 stars. The food was great! Very tasty.The service was pretty bad. I understand being short staff but this was ridiculous. Ordered three items, got one. Tried to grad the attention of the staff and was ignored. Our table was ignored by staff. We were done eating and it took 45 minutes to clear the plates and bring our bills. Once we had their attention, then they were friendly and funny.To illustrate how bad the service was: the staff took the orders for a table next to us who arrived at the same time as us by the time we were done eating. They were trying to grab the attention of the staff and the response was: Sorry, I don’t have time.Open to try again for the quality of the food.

One of the best restaurants I've been to. never seen service that phenomenal either and it's not due to a lack of amazing prior experiences elsewhere. delicious food and great atmosphere. definitely coming back!Vegetarian options: wide variety, super deliciousDietary restrictions: they asked about any concerns or allergiesKid-friendliness: kid friendly
