Ceylon Street Restaurant in Redbridge

I ordered coconut sambal, it wasn't delivered

Love Ceylon Street! Their food is consistently good , had the most delicious chicken biryani and tokri chaat , ordered several times and will keep on ordering! Thank you ❤️

Very good customer service by shiva food was very tasty and the price is very reasonable staff are very friendly we are going to come to this restaurant again

Do not go. I used to love this place. Please read all the recent reviews. Awful experience today. A group of my friends came, 5 of us had to cancel our Kothu Roti orders as we waited 2 hours. My wife and her friend has to wait two hours for the kulkuli sherbet and we had to send the Colombo colada back as it has curdled. The chicken wings never came. The starters arrived after the main. Further more, I used to come to this restaurant and the standards have dropped so far. One of the waiters, a tall man, is an absolute clown. Any self respecting restaurant manager would've just discounted the bill. I know the owner personally and will be contacting him.

Don't have all food in pic couldn't wait smells so good, Wow love this food here not too spiced, big portions, really nice staff and fast food thank you all

Single handedly my worst experience at this restaurant. We recommended this place to friends, we had our wedding meal here years ago. 2 hours and then I got my drink. My husband and his friends had to wait 2 hours and then we cancelled our food. Terrible service today and the excuses were embarrassing.

AVOID. Worst experience of my life. Don't even booking these frauds for weddings/events. Impossible to get into contact with them once they have your money. I had booked them for my wedding, but had to cancel a month before the wedding due to unforeseen family situation. They had agreed they'll take 30% and return the rest as they had not spent any money for this cancelled event. Not heard anything and impossible to contact Velan and Sekar (the owners) for months!!

Really loved the food and staff were very friendly

Nice polite service. Food was really spicy (I’m not used to South Indian food). Garlic Chilli Paneer was amazing. Dosa’s were excellent though the coconut chutney tasted a little strange. Mango lassi was superb.

Services was good and food taste as well Bar service as well

Excellent foods and friendly staff Highly recommended

We as a big group (45 adults)went and had an amazing experience really friendly staff, super service . Amazing variety of food choices, Totally recommend to anyone who wants to go as a family or as group. We will be back for sure.

I ordered the mutton kottu rotti and was really disappointed. There wasn't a single piece of mutton to be seen, and the kottu itself was extremely oily. However, I also ordered the masala omelette, and it was absolutely delicious. If you're a kottu rotti lover, I would not recommend trying it here.

Only the Paneer dish was warm, the naan and samosas were both cold.

Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3/5) I recently ordered from Ceylon Street Restaurant and tried their Schezwan Fried Rice, Nethili Fish Fry, and Mutton Rolls. The fried rice had good flavour and decent spice level, and the nethili fish fry was crispy and well-seasoned — definitely enjoyable. However, I was disappointed with the mutton rolls, as they were spoiled and had an off smell, making them inedible. It affected the overall experience and raised concerns about food quality

I had a fantastic evening with my Dad . The seen sambol was amazing I wish I could have taken the whole pot home 😆Hoppers were very lovely too . The customer service was very good too !

Great food and super friendly staff!

Amazing experience wonderful service and splendid food

overpriced for the quantity received, chilli pander was very tasty,but the box was not full, I was expecting a bit more for £8.50 as it was not a starter. The noodles were a bit dry,I thought they have some sauce in it, and definitely not worth £12.50 per portion as it didn't have enough chicken for my taste. Overall the food was tasty but overpriced in my opinion for a takeaway.

One of the best Ceylon curry I had. Dosa was also delicious. Highly recommend 🔥

Perfect place for perfect food 🍱

The Oder was not complete. I ordered 2 sets of plain hoppers with mutton & fish but there was no seeni sambol or Pol sambol

Food was great but they missed a whole meal so can’t exactly give a high review.

Great place to unwind. Been a regular but took a while to post the review. Starters, kothu roti, biryani are the ones that we regularly order. They introduced chilli fish which is nice

timing and service. error in the our order was taken, meant they forgot 1 main item do my daughter was left waiting for food while everybody had finished.

The fish cutlets had an off taste, likely due to the potatoes going bad, which gave them an unpleasant, stale flavour. Both the vegetarian and chicken kottu contained an excessive amount of onions. Additionally, the chicken kottu included tandoori chicken, which is not traditionally used in kottu. Both kottu rotis had an off taste, possibly due to the vegetables not being fresh, and there were too few roti pieces. The food overall lacked quality and needed improvement. Service was slow, making the entire experience disappointing.

Michelign restaurant with perfect food. With five star rating...

The food was very nice and delicious. Komal took our order, and she was sweet and polite.

Friendly nice atmosphere lovely food

I was really looking forward to celebrating my sister-in-law's birthday at Celyon Street Restaurant after seeing so many TikToks showcasing the place, but unfortunately, I was left very disappointed. When we arrived, we were the only customers, yet it took 30 minutes to bring out a cocktail and 45 minutes for our starters. The "off-the-menu" items were falsely advertised—when we asked for crab patties from the starters, they weren't available. Instead, we were offered a crab dish from the mains, which didn’t quite hit the spot. We also ordered 10 mutton rolls as starters, but for some strange reason, they brought them out in twos, over the span of 15 minutes, which made no sense at all. I also asked for a very commonly known cognac called Courvoisier, but unfortunately, that wasn’t available either. To top it off, there was a huge board outside advertising "chef special weekends," so I asked to order lamprais from that menu. The waiter looked completely confused and said, "We don't make that," forcing me to choose a different dish. I ordered the mixed grill after they told me they didn’t have lamprais, and once again, I was disappointed by the false advertising. The menu promised king prawns, but they ended up serving shrimp instead. It felt like another instance of things not living up to the expectations set by their menu, adding to the overall frustration of the experience. When the mains arrived, we were missing 3 veechu rottis that we had ordered. After waiting 20 minutes and having no curries left, I had to cancel them. The food itself was decent, but honestly, it wasn’t anything extraordinary to make up for the terrible service and false advertising. It was an extremely frustrating experience, and I won’t be returning.

All staff were super friendly. The food was delicious! And the service was exceptional.

I would highly recommend that you avoid this restaurant. We had to wait for more than an hour to get our drinks and starters, and then another hour to get our mains. There were three waiters (one male, Bala, who was okay, and two females). My God, they were very unprofessional, didn’t understand what we were saying, and were very rude. I ordered kothu, and after 30 minutes, one of the female waiters said that mutton kothu was unavailable. Then, 15 minutes later, Bala brought me the mutton kothu. Never again. It was our in-laws' 40th wedding anniversary, and it was completely ruined."

Excellent food, service was quick and staff very nice and helpful. The chicken chettinad and Ceylon mixed fried rice schezwan style is a must try as well as the mango lassi. The staff were also very attentive.

First time I went there with friends and our Mrs food was so nice will go back again soon well done 👍👍👍

Food was super tasty and service was very kind and fast.

Order on uber eat, food is disgusting, I had only 5 pieces of panner on the curry, loads of oil, the aubergine was too much oily. It a shame because they use to be good, wont be order again

The food was tasty and a good reminder of my visit to Sri Lanka, tried the Kottu and a Prawn curry which was very tasty. The prawns weren't king size though it said king curry.

Food was good, portion could be better. Service was ok, it would be helpful if staff is given more training. Ambiance was average

Wow wow amazing food Vinay he is amazing good customer service 😀 Bubble tea 🧋 fabulous 😍

Foods are really yummy and friendly service. Once you come, you will come again 😊

I recently had the pleasure of dining at your restaurant and must commend you on the exceptional quality of the food. The prices are very reasonable, and the portions are more than generous. Your guest service is outstanding, and warm anticipatory hospitality. Thank you for the wonderful experience. I truly enjoyed it. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Amazing food and service. Cooperative staff, love the ambiance.

Visit once and see if you like it.

One of the bestest restaurants i’ve been to in East London lately. Customer service was not disappointing at all. Actual srilankan food taste is provided.

As usual food arrived on time and still hot, and accurate as ordered. Only minor point, lamb biriani meat is getting larger[ may be it's my age!!] Unlike Indian tradition, Sri Lankan lamb meat should be smaller squares. Nevertheless it was OK. Thank you.

Perfect, all staffs were so kind and helpfull too, would recommend 100000%

Great food and customer service, wish good luck ✨🌟

Sure! Here’s a Google review you can use: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely fantastic experience! The service was top-notch, with staff who were friendly, attentive, and genuinely cared about making our visit enjoyable.

Wow wow amazing customer service Especially Gurpreet she always receive us very friendly Food was amazing Especially gobi manchuria ND panner must try

Great food and lovely atmosphere at a very reasonable price

The food from Ceylon is absolutely delicious! Reasonable portion sizes too! My new favourite - well done!

Thanks so much. Amazing food, amazing service. Gurpreet is a very good waitress.

Enjoyable food, delivered on time, still hot!. Will order again

Ok cheap and cheerful. Got the order wrong.

Booked a family party recently. Everyone had to wear their coats until the end of the party as it was extremely cold in the hall. The cold wind was blowing through the gap of the doors. Also take away parties kept entering and existing through the door in spite of the party was booked completely private. This disturbed the party atmosphere a lot. The quality of food was below average and the portions of starters were unacceptably less quantity. Some of the booked items were even missing. Toilets are very unclean and messy. Overall it was such a disaster. Please think twice before anyone books for a family party.

Wow I love the foods in this restaurant..I didn't expect the taste is very very nice. My favourite food thosai is awesome 👌. Nice services and supperve facilities in restaurant

Drinks - more than 0.5 hours. Even then, they took it back and said it was for another table. Starters - took 1.5 hours yo come, and they forgot 1 starter, which we had to keep asking for. Finally, they brought it in the middle of the mains. Mains - They told us they don't have a dish we ordered during the main course. Then it came 10 mins later. Was very annoyed and confused at this point. The food itself was decent. If you do want to try this place, allow a couple of hours for you to be served.

I had placed an order with them at 7:20pm and it was only delivered at 8:50pm, while it was supposed to be delivered by 7:45pm. I initially thought the delay was the main issue, but it turned out there was more to it. I ordered Chicken Kothu and Gobi Manchurian, but after 20 minutes, the owner called to say they had run out of Chicken Kothu. She kept me on hold for a long time, leaving me unsure about the status of my order. Eventually, she convinced me to switch to Chicken Biryani, promising it would be quicker. However, the delivery took ages, and when I finally received the food, they had prepared my original order instead. Worse, the Chicken Kothu barely had any chicken, suggesting it was rushed and poorly made. This not only delayed my dinner but also resulted in a disappointing and tasteless meal. I'm deeply dissatisfied with their service.

food was served quuickly and tasted good. but mutton dosa was served wth a lpt of potatoe in it which i was not expecting

Had a wonderfull experience overall,one of the best restaurants in uk ..and not to mentions all those wide variety of tastiness.. loved it.. and the customer service is pretty great😉. nyz behaviour 🤗.. kudos..!!!! Will come again

I frequently visit to this restaurant. Food is okay but the staff was always asking to pay by cash. I think the owner was stupid because he was not paying the tax and it's a crime.

I was really disappointed with my experience here. There was a large group of us celebrating my mum’s birthday. Very very slow service. Had to keep chasing things. Food was very bland, lacking flavour. The only thing that was good was the mixed grill. The mutton rolls hardly had any mutton and the fish cutlet didn’t even look like it had fish. Just a pretty place. Will not be visiting again.

Really nice authentic food! 5 stars. Deepa was really helpful and provided great service

Very good food and good Service

I recently dined at Ceylon Restaurant and had an absolutely delightful experience. From the moment I walked in, the warm and inviting ambiance set the tone for a memorable meal. The menu is a fantastic showcase of authentic Sri Lankan flavors, with a variety of options to suit every palate. I particularly enjoyed the Sri Lankan MUTTON KOTHU perfectly spiced and bursting with flavor. IDLI & SAMBAR was quite authentic , tasty and portions were quite generous. The ingredients tasted fresh, and the presentation was spot on. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that every need was met, Their recommendations were spot-on, which added a unique touch to the meal. Overall, Ceylon Restaurant is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the rich and vibrant tastes of Sri Lankan cuisine. I’ll definitely be returning soon!

Lovely food and excellent customer service We went to my mum's 80th and had a lovely time. Crispy dosa is my favourite, and they made it fresh on request. I love to go back

Order my soup horrible, I specifically mentioned that not spicy and what they do is add more pepp And green chillies .

It was a good experience for me. I ordered one portion chicken biryani, quantity and taste of the was really good. I love the atmosphere.

Go there quite often, food is good but I do find some of it very spicy - almost like raw spice flavour coming through, e.g. the lamb curry and the chicken curry - but that's the Ceylon style of cooking. Recommend the egg hopper - simple but tasty, devil mutton and the fried rice. Service is very good with the staff engaging with their customers. Good value food/drinks.

Food was good. Mixed grill and daal was decent.

I loved the grilled chicken and the fried rice and staff are very welcoming Thank you

Delicious food.. nice atmosphere and service. Highly recommend mutton chukka!

Food was delicious here and the service was excellent.

Best egg appam in UK. Must try .

Lovely food and good ambiance. We have Ordered Paneer Lababdar which was very delicious. Very good staff

Food was good but could be better. More warm. More importantly it would have been nice if all the food came together because it was awkward to eat while someone else was watching. Main came before starter and curry came late.

Great food really nice you should come here service was also great😄

Very well presented so much variety’s food spontaneous food

It was my first time trying Sri Lankan food, and I went with my white partner. They just assumed that we both couldn't handle the spice and reduced the spice level without asking us, which is wrong! The food that we wanted was not available, but what we did manage to order was actually tasty. My only concern was that the waitress could not understand what I meant by me being lactose intolerant, which made me feel extremely uncomfortable when choosing the food. Please educate your staff on important matters such as food allergens and intolerance and the difference between the two. In the end, the waitress gave us some dessert as an apology for everything that happened, and the dessert contained milk (I'm severely lactose intolerant). I recommend the food but not if you have an intolerance or allergy.

Food is cold as delivery was late, quality of the food was terrible, it just rice and some cabbage, very disappointed.

I really loved the ambience and staff was amazing, friendly and humble. Food was damn tasty, cheers to chef and special thanks to manager helped us with menu and asking us if we are alright or need any thing else.

I ordered egg apam with fish curry and sea food kothu through ubereats. I got a call from restaurant stating that sea food kothu isn’t available and offering less expensive options for same price . When I stated the staff cancel the item they said we just found sea kothu but when I received my order it was plain kothu noting sea food . This restaurant is cheating people. Please be aware of scam.!!!

Great experience. Took table for 16 today Tasty food Highly recommend One downside Wi-Fi They don’t have one for customers Poor mobile connections They should have one for customers

Great food. Had Panner and Veg Kothu (extra spicy) and it’s one of the best dishes I’ve had in London

The chef special crab curry will BLOW YOUR TASTE BUDS INTO PARADISE!!!!! WOW!!!! And it’s very reasonably priced! Highly recommended!!

we went for a light lunch and thoroughly enjoyed the food and the atmosphere…we were served by a lovely lady named Deepa..she was warm hospitable and efficient…highly recommended

The order took a long time to prepare. Delivery was ok and courier was courteous. Food was good but quantity was less for the price.

Great quality food and friendly customer service. A hidden gem. We will definitely be returning - thank you!

Disappointed really wanted to enjoy the food sadly it was not great with hardly any taste

All food items were delicious and of high quality. The customer service was exceptional, particularly the friendly and helpful staff member, Deepa.

Excellent food and atmosphere!! All the staff were very friendly, especially Deepa who gave us a great experience.

Very satisfied with food. Ordered crab fry which was delicious. And chicken 65, it is a bit pricy for that quantity. Fish fry was nice.

food was good, timing was ok. music a bit loud n distracting. staff did not know about yum points and i had to explain the process and show them my account, and evidence that 2000 yums is a £50 discount. they initially told me they cannot give me a £50 discount.

Ceylon Street Restaurant delivered an exceptional dining experience. The cuisine showcased authentic Sri Lankan flavors, expertly prepared and beautifully presented. The service was attentive and knowledgeable, contributing to a highly enjoyable evening. I would highly recommend this establishment to anyone seeking a memorable culinary adventure

Had an amazing 80th birthday celebration, with the most helpful and supportive staff and very authentic food! Thank you so much!

Yesterday We visited at the closing time but Gurpreet welcome us & offer a great hospitality . Dosa was so delicious felt like i am eating in South India. Overall a Very good visit. Must Plan your outing to the restaraunt

Used the catering service and the food was amazing. Ordered the mutton rolls and fish patties and both were very tasty and flavourful. Will now be my go to Sri Lankan restaurant from now on!

Had a birthday party here. Service was great!

Portion sizes a joke for chicken 65, £10.50 and it’s cold

As you can see what I ordered today by Uber Eats, it’s chicken cheese kottu, but I get just kottu. Nothing else to say.
