Street style kottu with spicy chicken gravy is awesome. If you can handle spicy food, try level 3 spicy.
My wife loved street style kottu veg and egg. They make veg gravy without the chicken broth.

Cafe Kottu prepared a delicious feast for us upon our request. We had just moved to Houston and were missing authentic Sri Lankan rice and curry. Every dish was prepared perfectly and we couldn't praise the chef's and staff's enthusiasm enough.

Cafe Kottu is that place. My pick is always the Schezwan Noodles.
It might be a bit pricey but it’s worth it.
