Sriyani

Nice South Indian veg restaurant on 4 floors (including G/F). Last floor is a buffet at 350Rs which was excellent with a large variety of different dishes. But you can also get dosa if you go to 2/F. Recommended.

Get the thali ( rice and curry) everything vegan except the dessert and yogurt ( curd ). Big serving and they can too up . Nothing fancy. But very busy :)

I visited Sriyani because I was staying fairly near it. When I arrived, it was fairly busy, so I shared a table with two other people on the second floor.

I had a thali with a range of dishes. It appears to be all you can eat, with staff bringing further food around. Not that you'll need it, as the standard serve is massive.

It's vegan, other than for the raita.

I don't think that the 'moderate' price range is accurate. I paid around USD 2 for a massive meal, which included dessert and a piece of fruit.

As a non-local, be prepared to be stared at a little, and be a source of amusement if you decline cutlery (as I did) to eat like everybody else.

It's worth seeking out.

this place has really nice food and is a good place to relax after hectic pettah shopping!they make a really tasty black tea,and some yummy veg muffins.
they have many short eats and fresh juices
