Athugala Ceylon in Bristol, City of

Amazing. Like being in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰

First time eating at Athugala and we were very happy to find an authentic Sri Lankan restaurant in Bristol. Our favourite was the Chicken Kottu. It was absolutely delicious! Not dry or too wet and a nice amount of spice. I felt like all the food had a home made taste. Not oily at all, which I find in most Sri Lankan take away restaurants. The lampraise is more like a yellow rice but the batu moju, cadju curry and chicken curry were tasty. The egg hopper had a nice coconut taste and the egg was perfectly runny but not hot and crispy enough in my opinion. The jackfruit curry had an authentic home made taste. The black pork curry could have been more roasted and spicy but still very yummy. We will definitely be recommending the Kottu to all our friends!

Really good food, owners are lovely & the Koththu was very authentic!

The food was simply brilliant and the portions were really big for a very reasonable price. I had the food delivered, but next time I will definitely go and check it out.

Friendly service and yummy food :)

Honestly was so impressed. As a Sri Lankan, the few restaurants I’d go to for Sri Lankan food didn’t taste the same as food from back home until I came to this restaurant. The food was everything you’d taste back home! I loved it so much. Also the music and vibe was so great it made me feel like I was back home having a cozy dinner with my family! Im so glad I found this place! The server was an angel too, loved her so much!

What an absolute pleasure it was to dine here! The food was so delicious, a homemade taste of Sri Lanka! Such a warm and welcoming place, would highly recommend and will definitely be coming back! ❤️🇱🇰 ඔයාට ස්තූතියි

Really tasty Sri Lankan authentic food. Excellent customer service and very neat and clean restaurant with lots of vegan options as well.

Excellent food and service for a great price :)

I like the restaurant because it has the best food in the world and drinks

Very delicious Sri Lankan food in Bristol. The best lamprais ever had. Must visit.

Ahh, really glorious space to dine in. The pumkin dish was excellent, delicious vibranr flavours, and we had a Pol Sambol as well with it. As there were some dishes we had not endulged in before, this was an opportunity to do so. This was the green bean curry really delicious and beetroot, which was quite standard. The aesthetics included a great map sharing the names of the Sri Lankan regions alongside paintings around the space. As we don't have rice we bought our own salad to compliment these fantastic dishes. We will be going again to immerse in the Dhal & Jackfruit

Small family run restaurant. The food was fresh, tasty, and beautifully spiced. I had the vegan cutlets to start, followed by chicken noodles, and to finish Watalappam. All of which were delicious. I can't wait to go back.

Been twice now, enjoyed food and friendly service, excellent value. Also had them cater for a function, it was just excellent made the event special

I visited few times and also had a good experience but unfortunately today was not. Because I ordered chicken curry and parrots and not satisfied at all due to the poor quality not a place I would recommend.

The staff were very rude. The food was alright even though they messed up my order. And there was no people there

Best Sri Lankan food in the city ♥️

Athugala Ceylon is a hidden gem serving up authentic Sri Lankan flavors. The place is small but cozy, with friendly service to match. Their menu boasts a range of classic dishes, but the lamprais is an absolute must-try. This flavorful rice and curry combo wrapped in banana leaf is a taste of Sri Lanka on a plate. Don't miss out!

I never even knew this food existed but it is out of this world believe me If you love Indian it's got a Style of Indian but it takes it to another delicious dimension

Went to Sri Lanka 7 years ago and have been searching for the delicious food we ate there ever since... Primarily string hoppers, chicken curry and daal, and this place took me straighten back! Even did a set meal with string hoppers chicken curry and daal! It was so good! Thank you!

Great value especially considering the ingredients are fresh and authentic ! The cost of living has people paying way over the odds for basic food … so anyone who loves traditional food and tasty .. look no further! The hoppers with curry and dhal were gert lush ! Friendly place and they serve beer so pay them A visit asap ! You won’t regret it and you’ll still have money in your pocket . Thanks Athugala

Absolutely wonderful food served by great Staff

Authentic Sri Lankan cuisine and taste 👌

Absolutely amazing srilankan authentic foods . Welcome anytime u will never regret. Thank you for the delicious foods

Great customer service. Very welcoming and friendly. Food was amazing and they gave us complimentary snacks too. Highly recommended.

Very nice food and great service.

Top food and feels like home . Will go again and highly recommend for a Sri Lankan dish.

The best Sri Lankan food place in the UK ! If you are living in Bristol and love authentic Sri Lankan food, this is a must try place. Lamprais is to die for 🩷 Highly recomended 👌

I'm so happy we stumbled upon this gem of a place! Really authentic and tasty Sri Lankan food and very reasonably priced.

Stumbled across this restaurant by accident while walking past. Absolutely loved the food, very authentic dishes, everything we had was really fantastic. Hidden gem.

I highly recommend Athugala Ceylon for people who love delicious Sri Lankan food. The food was really tasty specially the lamprais. The delivery was swift, taking less than 40 minutes from placing the order to having the food at my doorstep. The staff were incredibly friendly and supportive, ensuring a smooth and pleasant experience.

Actually we ate at this restaurant. Tasty Sri Lankan food served with quality service by this family run restaurant. Highly recommended

The food is simply great. Interesting, bold and tasty flavours offer a nice variety within dishes. I had the Lamprais, with pork, aubergine and jackfruit curries, which was really filling and great value for money. I'd also recommend the Lion stout.

Most authentic sri lanken food I've tasted in Bristol. Absolutely bangs. Full 10/10. Well done guys

Lovely food very tasty will definitely be ordering again

Authentic tasty Sri Lankan food! We particularly enjoyed the egg hoppers. Quick service and friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Food is very tasy, good price for portion sizes. This has been our second visit and it has been a very enjoyable experience on both occasions. Very friendly staff, which is what stood out also. Would definitely recommend if you enjoy good food with spice.

Yesterday we ordered a Lampris, chicken kottu and parata. Food is delicious and super quality. we felt the taste of Sri Lankan relish. The owner is very friendly and he delivered food home with in 30 minutes

Best takeaway curry in Kingswood! Full of rich aromatic flavours, pork and mutton curries are next level. Thought the menu was a bit pricey but good portions and the quality made up for it. Quick service for takeout too. Definitely returning.

If you are looking for an authentic dining experience, look no further.

Family run business very welcoming and decorated very nicely. Food was nice and service was wonderful. They gave us complimentary desserts too!! Support your local businesses :)

A wonderful restaurant Kingswood is very lucky to have this place indeed 😀 The food is properly brilliant and the service is lovely 😍

Excellent food great value, really nice addition to the area , go and try it out . Friendly relaxed atmosphere.

Good yummy sri Lankan food, I would definitely recommend.

This is the first time we have used Athugala for a takeaway, great variety and selection of food. My family of four cleared their plates. Would recommend!

one of my favourite restaurant..... awesome dishes , bit slow service but worth the wait

Really nice food, great portions and good value

Driver took my order and marked it as delivered

Another great meal, love this food!

Great food, friendly staff Enjoyed our meals :)

Amazing food, price and service, has become our new local for sure

This is an undiscovered gem -authentic Sri Lankan cuisine with many tasty options available -it’s a family run business and service was great . Great veggie and vegan options and good prices especially for drinks . Can’t wait to try other dishes

Delicious, authentic Sri Lankan food, cooked with love and served with a smile. What more could you ask?

Amazing, authentic and fresh food. A lovely atmosphere and family ran restaurant, a hidden gem that deserves more recognition!

Really tasty and interesting food. Service has been fantastic every time. Lovely to have something a bit different, done well.

Lovely meal this evening. Would definitely come back!

absolutely delicious!! had the vegan kottu & devilled tofu. really loved both and will definitely be ordering again.

Athugala Ceylon is a culinary haven for those craving authentic Sri Lankan flavors. The food is not only presented beautifully but also delivers an explosion of taste that perfectly satisfies the Sri Lankan palate. From the first bite to the last, every dish is a delightful journey through the rich spices and traditions of the island. The service at Athugala Ceylon is exemplary, with a friendly and supportive staff who go above and beyond to ensure a memorable dining experience. To our surprise, we were even treated to complementary murukku, a gesture that further exemplified the restaurant's commitment to hospitality. Overall, our time at Athugala Ceylon was a testament to quality dining. Whether you're a Sri Lankan food enthusiast or simply seeking a unique culinary adventure, this place is sure to exceed your expectations.

Delicious flavoursome food and plenty of vegetarian options. Very reasonable prices. I will definitely be back to try more.

No problem with the food, but the delivery driver was rude. The location was pinned correctly, he phoned for me to come outside to collect and argued with me when I tried to explain he was in the wrong place. I had to leave my building and walk to another street to collect the delivery as the driver was rude and argumentative. I appreciate he may not be associated with the restaurant but it was very irritating when he hasn’t delivered to the right place.

Really tasty Sri lankan food! We chose vegan options which were delicious, but the meat options we saw also looked very good. Plenty of options at great price. Particularly recommend the devilled dishes and kotthu. We went on valentine's night and were surprised how quiet it was, please go here so we don't lose such a great place!

Thoroughly lovely, different to the normal south Asian fare. Lovely flavours and nicely presented. Try it and enjoy.

Excellent service and Sri Lankan vibe with amazing delicious Sinhala (SL authentic ) food ❤️

Everything we ate was delicious! Friendly service with a smile. Will 100% be back!

Really good, authentic food. The egg hopper was a highlight. Very reasonably priced too!

Really tasty food, great quality. Will be ordering again!

Phenomenally delicious food! Good value for money and incredibly flavoursome! I will be back again in no time!!

Today I popped in to grab some lunch I had a chicken fried rice and some of the rolls with meat in. Everything is fresh, hot and delicious, also really friendly when I went in, I will definitely going back! Also it’s very clean inside!

Collected a take away and staff so lovely and friendly. Such beautiful food. I had a plain hopper and chicken kottu .... soooo good! Cannot recommend this place enough and always nice to support a small local business.

A fabulous restaurant with filling and flavourful Sri Lankan food. I ordered the lamprais for my main course with the jackfruit curry which was amazing. Great selection for vegetarians. We ordered loads more off the menu to take home for Christmas day dinner! Highly recommend.

Yum, really really liked the food here! You know when your stomach is smiling at you after? We got a takeaway of vegan dishes and it was really delicious, especially the devilled tofu 😋. Thanks for the extra poppadoms and popper too! Will definitely be back, and soon

Lovely new Sri Lankan restaurant, very authentic and tasty. Must try!

First time trying this as takeaway and eating Sri Lankan and it was great. Took 30-40 mins to arrive, same as time estimated. All the dishes were really tasty and good quality. Nothing greasy or cheap. Would highly recommend, one of the few higher quality food places in Kingswood.

After waiting 90 minutes or more it was never delivered despite saying it had been delivered. Disgusting from just eat, restaurant are delivering personally but will not order on just eat again! Appalling

Tasty sri lankan foods Friendly service 100% Recommended

Found this place through suggestions, I was really happy with the food and the service! I found everything I was looking for and they looked after us very well. Big thanks to the guy who served us, he was very kind and attentive

Excellent Sri Lankan food with very good vegan options, all well priced. Super friendly and courteous staff. We are delighted to have this place so close to home and we will be coming back!

Lovely take away. Good selection of dishes and full of great flavour and ingredients. Thanks for the snack while we waited for our food.

Good food , something different and nice flavours main course was great. Only gripe was the roti starter was a bit over cooked and the sambal / dips were tiny , literally a thimble full! and not worth the price for starter

Holy moly this place is soooooo tasty! Seriously rich, tender and delicious. I cant recommend it enough! The curries are a little on the small side - not that I was left hungry but I could’ve eaten more and definitely wanted to. The devilled dishes are also amazing. The dishes are pretty spicy - don’t remember them being this hot in Sri Lanka. Going to make this our go-to take out. Banging 👌

Authentic food with lots of vegan/veggie options, friendly staff, a hidden gem. Go and try for yourself!

The humble Sri Lankan taste with no authenticity spared. Amazing taste food . chicken kottu amazing best meal ever im not vegan but even the vegan kottu is good seafood fried rice amazing seafood noodles amazing chicken fried rice amazing

Decided to try something a little different. Chicken Kottu was very tasty and arrived at the perfect temperature... but we could not finish it due to the amount of chilli in there. Tried to persevere as it was so flavoursome but only made it 1/3 through the portion. Just too hot for us. If I am passing the restaurant I would order it again but ask for less/no chillis!

Excellent, delicious food and quick delivery.

Been meaning to visit for a while! Had the lumprice, so tasty I will be back mmmmmmmmmmmm :)

Tried this little Sri Lankan restaurant out and so pleased we did. Such tasty delicious food. Authentic and beautifully spiced. Delicate and such a variety of flavours. Highly recommend. Will definitely order takeaways from here great food, a change from usual Indian and Chinese and very reasonably priced.

Nice Sri Lankan cuisine must visit

Fantastic food, great service Anu sorted us right out… Gem of a restaurant……

Fab food. Will be ordering again!

Good example for Sri Lankan hospitality. Warm welcome, make you feel like home, delicious and fresh food . Small family restaurant. Definitely I will be back again and i would like to recommend everyone .

Delicious! Really glad this place is local to me, all the mains and sides I've tried so far have been top.

We love this restaurant, been there a couple of times and never disappoints! Also the value for your money is so good we couldn't believe it!

We had a take away and it was absolutely delicious. The kothu was on fire! 🔥

Family run business with a big heart and very welcoming. The dining area Is very well lit which is very good point as we don't feel uncomfortable or claustrophobic. The walls are nicely decorated with Ceylon arts and places to visit. The food is delicious and very budget friendly also the best part is they haven't compromised the portion size. These guys have authentic Ceylonese food at a superb price. Owner comes to each and every table to get a review of the customer experience and satisfaction and I believe he will analyze and the get the extract of those comments to improve small gaps which they might have. Me and my wife went there two times and I tried chicken fried rice on the first day where my wife tried the lump rice on the second day I tried the sea food kottu and as usual my wife tried the lump rice. I would highly recommend the lump rice and the fried rice because it tastes well and I would recommend 5/5. The seafood kottu on the other hand was tasty but soggy and I prefer a kottu to be a bit on the dry side where the customer gets the curry to add to the plat as he or she desires. That's my opinion, yours may be different. They have sprinkled a bit too much black pepper powder on it which makes it a bit spicier. As a whole, I would highly recommend this place to dine in and me and my wife will go back again to dine in.

Super tasty, would order again :)

Great tasty thank you , very polite delivery person .

Absolutely amazing! The place is beautiful and staff are super friendly and the food is delicious. Highly recommended.

Amazing, can't wait to taste the rest of the menu

We were eagerly waiting to try a meal at Athugala Ceylon restaurant, and the wait was worth it. A welcoming atmosphere and friendly hospitality made a real difference. The food was absolutely delicious and well presented. Thanks for the quality service.

Having just come back from Sri Lanka I can say this is good quality authentic Sri Lankan food that’s really tasty, and the staff are friendly. Great decor too.
