Don't sleep on Ceylonta!! We went for a weekday lunch, and couldn't understand why the restaurant was empty when we arrived. The food was incredible, the service was warm and attentive. We had the paratha and coconut sambol to start. We shared the egg curry thali, beef kothu rotti, and deviled shrimp (portions were decent, we took some home). In the thali, the coconut green beans, squash, eggplant, and the egg curry's sauce are absolutely insane, comforting, delicious.

Tried this restaurant for the first time today. On top of the food being delicious, what stood out to me was the warm hospitality shown by the two very nice individuals at the restaurant. The good food was just a bonus on top of this. I’m glad I decided to try this restaurant and I’m definitely going to visit it again.

This was my first time having Sri Lankan food, and I was absolutely blown away by the depth of flavour of each dish! It is no surprise Ceylonta has been around for 32+ years. They were very accommodating with dietary restrictions as well.
We were treated like family, and I can’t wait to return to Ottawa to come back.

BEST of the best!! Where to start with this gem? Decided I wanted to try something new and found this on Google. Was greeted promptly and warmly (Anjana). Shortly after, the owner/chef (Ranjan) came to greet us and explained the various dishes. Decided to try the Chicken Palandi as per his recommendation. WOW!!! Just wow. So vibrant, delicious, and flavorful. Came to see us after our meal and chatted as we arrived right at opening at 4:00, and he explained the meal that he created for our wonderful and amazing experience. He is SO passionate about his creations and food in general. Such a kind and wonderful soul to have taken the time to see us. Kind sir, I will definitely see you again soon, and thank you so very much for the most remarkable dining experience and making us feel so so welcomed. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 5 ⭐ !!!

This was my first time having Sri Lankan food, and it ended up being in the top 10 best meals I've ever had. The service was fantastic too. If I lived in Ottawa, I'd be back weekly to try everything on the menu. It's no wonder they've been around for as long as they have.
Wonderful restaurant. Warm and kind staff. Authentic south Indian food. Recommend to anyone looking for authentic Indian food.

Great food quality and service. The chef suggested we swap out some of our side choices for others and I’m glad I we listened. Flavourful premium quality that’s worth the price. Will be back.
