Sigiri

Food was excellent. We got the crab curry and the fish cutlet. Crab curry was decently sized and delightfully spicy - excellent curry overall. Fish cutlet was yummy and more potatoe-y. Metered parking was easy for my to find around the restaurant. They only take cash or venmo! It definitely gets packed around dinner time and the place is on the smaller side so either come in earlier or try to make a reservation. I do think the service could’ve been a little better- we had to signal the waitress over a few times to get water and a menu and order.

I come here really often. The food is outstanding and the service is quick and efficient. I will say the flours are really authentic to the region and we always have five dishes that we order each time. They have a really small space I would say maybe 10 tables total but they can see it about four people at each table. Be warned if you are not able to consume spicy food since the food can get really spicy, but I will say that the staff is really helpful with recommending what you should try and reducing the spice levels for you. I highly recommend the kottu roti, fish curry, crab fried rice and wattalaappam. We like the ginger drink a lot as well.

Warning: this unassuming eatery will ruin you for all future Sri Lankan food. Their black pork curry, chicken lamprais, appams and string hoppers are ridiculously flavorful, with spice levels tailored to your taste buds' whims. BYOB? No problem - grab beers from the bodega down the street. Ambiance? Who needs it when the food's this good? Just don't forget your wallet (cash only, folks!). We revisited after years and left wondering why we ever stayed away. come for the curry, stay for the food coma!

I'm so glad a friend who is from Sri Lanka suggested Sigiri! Service was fast because I ate here on a weekday and it was early in the evening. My Nelli (Indian Gooseberry) Sri Lankan Cordial tasted like kiwi and mint. I would get the Chicken Biryani on the regular it was that fantastic-the chicken leg was crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. There was more chicken and a boiled egg under the rice! The saffron and raisins enhanced the flavors of the herbs! The Watalappam shocked me. It wasn't what I expected, but the cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom made the dessert enjoyable. I'll be back! Be mindful that it is cash payment only when you are preparing to dine in.

Sigiri offers authentic Sri Lankan cuisine with bold, flavorful dishes. From spicy curries to hoppers and kottu roti, the food is a delicious exploration of Sri Lankan flavors. It's a great spot for a unique and satisfying culinary experience
