Reviews
I had dinner this evening at Dosa & Sambal Express with a friend and the whole experience was simply lovely. The dosa were excellent, fresh, well-prepared and full of flavour. What made the meal even more enjoyable was the warm, personal touch throughout. The service was friendly and attentive without ever feeling forced. The place has a relaxed, homey feel that made us feel comfortable straight away. It’s the kind of spot you’re glad to have discovered. We’ll definitely be returning.
I’m a Sri Lankan foodie and this is the best authentic South Indian & Sri Lankan dishes that I go to in Greenwich & Bexley. Price& service is great. My family’s favourites are house special mix devil and mutton, Chicken and Veg Kothu & Thalli.
Honestly such a lovely restaurant, having never tried Sri Lankan food we were all highly impressed with the food and service received. We were a big table of 6 adults and a child and sat down to enjoy a nice family meal. The food was especially tasty and amazing portion size for money. We all enjoyed, even ordered abit to much. The waiter was very attentive, as well as the owner who came to greet us from the kitchen, amazing hospitality, friendly service. Such politeness and engaged in conversation. The toilet facilities were exceptionally clean. Only reason for a lack of star, is that the two years ordered Were not for our liking. Very milky and weak. Would be better to bring the brewed tea and allow customers to add their milk for themselves. Apart from that, definitely recommend this restaurant to all!
One of the best tasting South Indian and Sri Lankan food I’ve had! Great service too. Thank you!
Just ordered takeaway as I've heard good things about this restaurant, it did not disappoint. Chicken kothu was delicious and chicken 65 was cooked perfectly. Nice & spicy, definitely recommend
