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!

Delicious and Unique - Edit
Their Roti was especially good! Its small and thick as opposed to thin and mailable like an Indian roti. Plus it had coconut shavings in it which I found bomb. I ordered their platter of the day which came with a lot of stuff for $23 and two people ate from it 😊 I’ll try and post the menu pic I took. I bit into a cardamom pod while eating which was a green flag for me. Use them seasonings and fresh herbs!! Their green sauce had great kick, and their spiciest sauce was delicious 🤤 can’t wait to go back! Everyone was very kind too! Respectfully, the food could’ve been a little more salted for me. Overall, an amazing experience! 😊

Interesting and spicy - Edit
I'd had South Asian but not Sri Lankan food before, and wasn't sure what to expect. We ordered a range of things based on description. I stuck to what was described as 'street food', since that was the theme of the place, but we also had some other items. It was a bit hit and miss, and one of the dishes was so spicy that we all had trouble eating it - whether spice wimp or spice lover.
Read moreThe ordering process - stand at the outdoor counter, then pick up food - was a bit awkward for newbies, esp. as we sat inside and had to keep checking whether the food was ready.
I found it interesting, and I'd eat there again, but not search it out. One companion felt the same, while the other (the spice-lovingest) was much more eager to return.
Pros: Interesting, Unusual
Cons: Some dishes too spicy, Somewhat awkward ordering

So good but so spicy! - Edit
My partner and I thought we could handle our heat until we came to Mirisata. We did it to ourselves though by choosing some of the spiciest menu items. Love the concept of this restaurant and everything about it. We tried the Polos Cutlets, Chick'n Kottu, and Special plate of the day. Thankfully they were able to provide us with some oat milk to cool down the spice. 🔥🔥🔥

We have never had Sri Lankan food before. The staff were very helpful helping us pick out what we might like based on other things we’ve eaten before that’s similar.

Wonderful food - Edit
It’s delicious. Definitely a place we’d want to try more of their menu. Also love the gratuity being worked into the price of dishes. Servings seemed quite generous. Tons of outdoor seating with generous shade. We’ll be back.

Spiceless Sri Lankan - Edit
I ordered the Fried Rice Combo Plate with kale mallum. I didn't like the kale, but I enjoyed the other foods. They were flavorful, but not spicy, which I appreciated.

Wow. Amazing. - Edit
This place is so good. But no mercy with the spicy levels 😅 I got a medium spicy level, but for me, it was extra extra fire volcano. 🥵 but I still loved it all. So many unique flavors I e never had before.

for the dish you ordered, the spice adjustment is only for the dahl. you got a side of chick'n curry it appears, which is the spiciest dish on the menu! so it's not just you! glad you still enjoyed it 🙂

Mandatory eating for Portland - Edit
If you’re living in or visiting Portland and you don’t eat here, you’re missing out. Rare to find a place committed to serving authentic ethnic cuisine while also staying vegan and building a successful co-op business. Food was so good, I will go here each and every time I’m in Portland

Fantastic food, reasonably priced, friendly service! - Edit
The staff here were extremely friendly and helpful with questions about dietary restrictions. The food was absolutely incredible, especially considering how affordable it was. It's a worker-owned coop that doesn't accept tips, so the price you see is actually what you pay. Food came out fast, can't really find anything to complain about!

Spicy Sri Lankan Goodness! - Edit
Everything here is amazing. If you are sensitive to spice, stick with foods where you can customize the spice level e.g. the kottu come at a “medium” as a baseline. Tip included in the menu price.

Go here now! - Edit
We were in Portland last weekend and had the great pleasure of eating here. We came after a less than great experience at another vegan joint in town. And what a blessing that the first place was a bummer because it led us here! The food was great, the outside patio was great, and the people were great. I would eat here weekly if I lived in Portland!

Fun - Edit
I’ve never had Sri Lankan food before, so we were excited to try something new. I ordered the new year special and new year dessert because I really didn’t know what anything was or what I liked. There were a bunch of different things in the new year dinner, and my favorites were the dal and some onion dish. Everything else had flavors I wasn’t the biggest fan of but I was glad I got to try. The four-star rating was because I didn’t really love anything but it was mostly because of my palate not because the restaurant wasn’t good. The flavors in the desert were also unique to my palate, and I typically like desserts to be a little sweeter. Overall, I was very happy to have tried this place and would recommend to anyone who likes Indian food as the flavors were pretty similar.

Just..Wow! - Edit
Absolutely incredible. I visit PDX about once every 2-3 months and I always stoked to try a new vegan place. While I almost always love what I’m trying, I honestly can’t remember the last time I’ve been wowed like this. I’ve never had Sri Lankan cuisine before. Obviously very Indian inspired but much fresher tasting. Everything was perfectly spiced, seasoned, and cooked. A dance of freshness and spice, intense flavor and savoriness. Had no idea what I was eating and I thoroughly savored every morsel of it. Will absolutely be back.
Read moreA few other reviewers said it was spendy but when you consider that the price includes tip, I really didn’t find it any more expensive than any other good sit down meal.
I will say dress for the weather. Indoor seating is very limited and the outdoor seating lacked much protection from the elements on the particularly chilly, damp night I was there. Heaters were scant.
