" Ceylonta is my favorite spot now for Sri Lankan food! The authentic taste takes me back to my trips to Sri Lanka. The Devilled Chicken absolutely stole the show; cooked with just the right amount of spice. The atmosphere is casual yet nicely decorated, making it a perfect place for a weekend dinner with friends. The staff's kindness and willingness to suggest dishes based on our preferences made everything even better. I could visit every week and not get tired of it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great food with an authentic taste! The variety of dishes offered sets Ceylonta apart. I particularly enjoyed their special Hibiscus drink; it added a refreshing touch to the meal. The ambiance felt cozy and welcoming. The service was fast and friendly, but some dishes took a little longer than expected. Regardless, everything was worth the wait. Would love to return!
