Oh. My. God! - Edit
I don't even know where to start! I've never had Sri Lankan food, but I'm always up for a new culinary adventure. The reviews sounded great, and the pictures looked good, and all of it made for an amazing foodie experience! The ambiance is very warm and welcoming with an indoor dining room and even better, a spacious outdoor patio with lights everywhere and heat lamps for chilly weather, the staff is very friendly and helpful, and the food is outstanding! The combination of flavors, heat levels, spices, and all the love that was obviously poured into it combined to make it a fantastic meal. They have lots of gluten-free options as well. Even the meat eaters would be happy. I highly recommend a visit!

Can’t believe it took me so long to eat here - Edit
I’ve lived in Portland for three years and can’t believe I’ve never eaten here. We got todays plate and the roti it was amazing. It tasted like the most delicious home cooked meal. The man who helped us was super helpful and knowledgeable about the menu and gave great suggestions. Super pleased with the quality of food, swiftness of service and kind employees. It makes all the difference when you come to a place and they are genuinely helpful. Will definitely be back for more!

Heat and Harmony - Edit
I had the pleasure of dining at this highly-rated vegan Sri Lankan restaurant that has been making waves online. This walk-up, counter-service gem stood out for its wide variety of vegan Sri Lankan food, knowledgeable servers, and clearly marked gluten-free items, making it a haven for any adventurous eater with dietary restrictions.
Read moreMy friend and I decided to share "Today's Plate" and each ordered our own roti – I opted for the gluten-free Kurokan Roti, while my friend chose the Pol Roti. Both rotis, delightfully coconutty and served perfectly warm, were the platform for a memorable meal.
Today's Plate, a staple offering, came with a crisp pampadam, daal, yellow rice, and four rotating sides. That day, we were treated to spicy green beans, deviled potatoes, scallion dynamite, and braised curry garlic, complemented by our choice of coconut sambal.
Every bite transported me back to my time in Sri Lanka, I was especially grateful for the gluten-free roti that I had missed out on during my travels. My dining companion couldn't stop raving about the spicy green beans and kept praising my choice of restaurant. I humbly reminded him that the high recommendations on Happy Cow made it an easy decision.
The highlight of my meal was mixing the scallion dynamite, coconut sambal, and daal, then scooping it up with my roti. It was pure bliss – just the right amount of spice, though you can certainly amp it up if you're dining with spice-loving friends or going solo.
This restaurant is a must-visit for anyone in Portland looking to experience the vibrant flavors of Sri Lankan cuisine in a vegan, gluten-free-friendly environment.
Pros: Clearly marked Gluten-free items, Good value - Tip is included in the price, Authentic Sri Lankan Food

Great for a group of friends or family ! - Edit
Worker owned restaurant offering family style and non family style. We went family style with the eggplant for 2-3 with three of us and had plenty of leftovers. Very reasonably priced. We also got the fish cakes (YUM!) and a the passion fruit soda which was not very sweet at all and very pleasant. Eggplant was the rockstar of the night however. Also, nice outdoor seating area for summer.

Unique, flavorful, and great value - Edit
One of the best restaurants there is. I like eating out when it tastes like something I couldn’t make at home - This place nails that. Some of the most flavorful food I’ve been blessed to taste, and items labeled “spicy” actually have a kick to them.

Amazing dinner - Edit
The food here was amazing. Such unique flavors. We shared the family style dinner for 2-3 people and it definitely would have served 3. We took home leftovers. When we didn’t know what one of the dishes was, the man at the counter gave us a sample to try. Absolutely will go back the next time I am in town.

First time eating Shri Lankan food! Did not disappoint - Edit
Was feeling adventurous and not wanting a lot of processed foods. Thought we'd give Mirisata a try. The menu is extensive and can be a little intimidating if you haven't been before. However the combo plates helped give a lot of variety to the different types of foods available. Very happy we chose to give it a try.

Just GO! - Edit
I am so happy this was in my suggestions. Hands down the most delicious food I’ve had in a long time. The portions for the 2-3 is generous and we definitely had leftovers. I strongly suggest the Dahl and Wambatu Moju (eggplant).

Very good! - Edit
This was a wonderful meal complete with tea and desert. Great little place. You order at the window outside then you can find a seat on the large heated patio or inside the restaurant. Bus your own tables. Everyone was friendly and the food came out quickly. Very flavorful, beautiful, and spicy! I love that they have shareable meals for people like me who want to try a bit of everything. Will definitely be going back!

Amazing!!! Would eat every day! - Edit
This food was absolutely excellent. We ordered late and it was delivered quickly. It tasted better than it smelled and it smelled so good. I was worried it wouldn’t be enough but had leftovers. Would recommend to anyone.

I've Never Had Garlic Like That Before - Edit
While the entire meal I ordered from Mirisata was excellent, I kid you not I'd come back just for the garlic cloves alone. They served some garlic as part of one of the combo meals, and I don't know how they got them so creamy. They melted in your mouth!

Surprising flavors, employee-owned - Edit
Mirisata is a miracle restaurant. Their roti, curries, and Lankan-Chinese dishes—I especially love the Deviled Chick'n and fried rice—are delicious and warming on a rainy winter day. I've genuinely enjoyed every dish I've tried of theirs.
Read moreThey provide a thoughtful menu of mild dishes for folks who might have issues with very spicy food.

Miri-satiated - Edit
Been obsessed with Mirisata for some time and surprised to see that for some reason I forgot to leave reviews about it. Probably because whenever the food comes my mind goes blank and I turn into a wild vegan animal. The food here is whack you in the face spicy, blast of flavor, super unique for Portland. It's an obsession.

vegan Sri Lakan Cuisine in PDX - Edit
Ch ch check it out–Beastie Boys…harmony in my head
Read moreMirisata aka Sri Lankan Cuisine, which is worker owned cooperative is quite alright. My friend of many years in PDX does yoga and met him abroad in India many moons ago. While I have spent heaps of time in India, he has been to Sri Lanka and I have not.
He recommended this restaurant to me. The service was friendly. I went with the thali plate aka rice and curry plate. It was $24 USD and was authentic served on a round mandala silver plate with a banana leaf similar to how they serve thali in India.
I went with the Pol Sambol. Everything was flavorful and vegetable heavy so was healthy. My only gripe was that it was way too much food.
I wish they had different sized plates like my beloved Kaffa aka Ethiopian vegan cuisine in Berkeley does.
I ate half and took half home. I bounced. Ch ch check it out!
Pros: vegetable heavy and healthy, flavorful and authentic
Cons: portions too big
