" Sadly, my experience was not what I expected. I found the menu to lack many of the traditional items I was hoping for, leaving me a bit disappointed. Although the food I had was flavorful, the lack of authenticity was notable. The staff was friendly, but the food took a long time to arrive. I probably wouldn’t return based on this visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a lovely surprise! Walked in expecting an average meal, but I was blown away by the flavors. The cuisine speaks authenticity! The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was comfortable. Will be telling all my friends about it. " (*Curated Review*)

" Cafe Kottu sets itself apart with authentic Sri Lankan dishes that truly resonate with anyone familiar with the cuisine. My friends and I tried several items, and although the flavors were commendable, the service lagged during peak hours. The ambiance was cozy but could use some tidying up. Despite the flaws, I can't fault the food quality and authenticity. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had the most delightful meal! I opted for the Green Curry, and it was beautifully balanced, with a richness that lingered nicely on the palate. The ambiance was relaxed, making it an excellent choice for a casual gathering. Service was prompt and courteous. I’ll definitely make this a regular spot. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful meal with friends here! The service staff is friendly, and we enjoyed the Chicken Kottu very much. While the wait time was slightly longer than expected, the food made up for it. Atmosphere was charming with cute decor that made us feel cozy. Would definitely return for a casual meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried Café Kottu after craving some Sri Lankan food for quite a while. The flavor profile matched my expectations, but I was let down by the service speed. It did take a little longer than preferred, but I would go back for the food alone. The staff was warm and welcoming. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my meal! The kottu was superbly spiced and satisfying, and the portions were more than enough for the price. The staff made the experience memorable with their lively spirits. Will certainly recommend this place to everyone! " (*Curated Review*)
