★★★★★ 5.0 sonali ayoni · Jan 2026

Absolutely loved my experience at Ceylon Express! We ordered the food, and the food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor, and the person I spoke to is very friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. The Kotthu and Lump rice definitely brought back memories from our home Sri Lanka. A perfect spot for great food and a welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend!

I always go there to buy groceries and food. The food here has a real Sri Lankan authentic taste. It’s mostly a Sinhalese-style flavor, which I really like because I’m a Sri Lankan Tamil and have always loved the taste of Sinhalese food, especially their authentic spices. I used to go to Spice Lanka for our Tamil-style food, but unfortunately they don’t make food with a real Sri Lankan taste. Instead, they keep experimenting to adapt the flavors to the local community in the neighborhood, which makes it unpleasant for people who are looking for genuine Sri Lankan taste. The staff at Ceylon Express are very friendly and down to earth, but the owner at Spice Lanka is rude and does not know how to respect customers.

We are regular customers of Ceylon Express. We are originally from Kandy Sri Lanka , presently living in Whitestone, NY. They serve delicious food , hygienic, in a very friendly atmosphere. We recommend this place to anyone who like to taste Sri Lankan traditional cuisine.

★★★★★ 5.0 Abdul Guddethota · Feb 2025

If you're looking for an authentic Sri Lankan dining experience in NYC, this place is a must-visit. The food is full of rich, athletic flavors that truly capture the essence of Sri Lankan cuisine. Beyond the delicious dishes, the staff is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and well-organized, making each visit a pleasant one. This has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants, and I’m always excited to return. Highly recommended for anyone looking to try something unique and flavorful!
