A moody, brutalist space serving a contemporary, high-octane Sri Lankan tasting menu set to a loud, cool soundtrack.
Ordering Strategy
The restaurant now operates primarily on a set tasting menu format (£65-£75). Book the counter for two; avoid large groups as seating is tight.
What to order
Hand-dived Scallop in Kiri Hodi
Universally praised as being of 'formidable quality', these scallops are served in a 'coconut-infused milky' broth or 'lobster broth' that critics describe as 'a pleasing foil for the shellfish' and a dish worth interrupting conversation for.
Land + Sea Tasting Menu
Since shifting to a strict six-course format, this £65 menu is cited as 'uncommonly good value' for 'serious, heavyweight' cooking that 'could cure colds' with its fiery spice levels.
Lacto-fermented Raspberry Rasam
A 'stripper-pink' statement of intent that swaps traditional tomato for raspberries; it is described as a 'gorgeous kick-off' that offers 'burning heat' and 'sour' modern complexity.
Kimbula Banis
A 'laminated croissant crossed with a thousand-layer potato' served with a 'fiercely moreish date and lime chutney' that offers a sweet, cool reprieve from the heat of other plates.

Good to know
Strict 90-minute turn times and cancellation policies apply. The space is loud (industrial acoustics + music). It is no longer an affordable casual drop-in spot but a fine-dining price point in a casual setting.
