A Sri Lankan/South Indian restaurant in Croydon.
It's fairly cafe-like in style; the tables bear no tablecloths, not even paper ones, and water jugs and condiment selections are set out in readiness. There's a bar, so we assume it's licensed. A glass-fronted counter displays various deep-fried starters, which are microwaved on demand.
Bob has visited twice, both times on Saturday afternoons in January 2011. While I didn't eat in, I did get several starters to take away. I've had mutton rolls (70p each), fish and egg rolls (75p each), masala vadai (40p each), fish patties, and samosas (65p each). They were all very good.
On one of my visits the display counter was just running out of mutton rolls, but a fresh tray appeared from the kitchen within five minutes.
