First time trying Sri Lankan food — and I did not expect to have this kind of experience in Beacon, NY! From the outside, it feels like you’re walking into someone’s home, and the inside has that same cozy vibe.

We came on a Sunday around 1 p.m. after hiking for some fall foliage and were happy to find seats available. There was just one person taking orders, so it took about 5–6 minutes to place ours, but that gave us time to really look over the menu.

The owner Saman was delightful with our table explaining how Sri Lankan food is different - less oil, more spice. He is very lively and he was absolutely right. I had the curry and it was truly delicious. This is the best after hiking food I’ve ever had. Charming environment, friendly and yummy.

What a lovely gem in beacon! I have to admit I’m not an expert in Sri Lankan cuisine, but the owner was so friendly and so warm. We felt like we were eating at a friend‘s house. Would highly recommend the double chicken, the fried lentil fritters, the Porrata, the coconut sambol, and the katta sambol (hot sauce made with Carolina reapers). For dessert, the watalappam (spiced flan made with coconut milk) was a must try, even for my boyfriend who hates coconut.
