Guras Stockport in Stockport

Be aware that Sri Lankan food is very spicy! I visited with mother & aunt, they both ordered the Marissa Chillie Chicken and found the chilli far too hot for them, the head waiter very kindly had the staff remake it with cooler chille. I found the nasi goreng lovely & would heartily recommend it. Friendly staff, fairly quiet atmosphere with Sri Lankan music in the background

Usually nice food but with reasonable wait on delivery - I can live with that. However, the latest delivery was really bad and topped off by lacklustre customer service. I ordered at 7:35pm and was delivered at 9:29pm - 1hr 54 mins and we live 8 minutes down the road. (It came later than the first delivery time and later than the revised 1 hour later time on just eat). When I called after 1.5 hours asking where it was I received literally no apology or explanation - now that’s hard to swallow. Food arrived tepid. Sadly will give up on this place now. Takeaway treats are expensive and it becomes no longer worth it when your food doesn’t even come for two hours. Might as well have had a piece of toast.

The food here is lovely, lots of choice and I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve tried. I want to love this restaurant, but the service lets the experience down every time. Every visit the same staff member has made us feel somewhat unwelcome - the last time they seemed to be laughing at our order with the chef. They joked about turning customers away who came in looking for a table. It made for a very uncomfortable time in a very small restaurant. Another waiter arrived later on who was lovely, I wished he had been there the whole time! Maybe a little more training is needed?

Fitted us in on a Saturday night with a last minute booking. Lovely cosy atmosphere, incredible food and good portion sizes. The starters are a little pricey but the quality and flavour of the food is excellent.

As a Malaysian, I am very disappointed to say that their food lacks the authentic Malaysian taste some diners might expect. While the restaurant is praised for its traditional flavours and quality ingredients in the other reviews, the dishes did not fully capture the essence of Malaysian food. The menu provides a variety of options, yet some dishes may fall short of delivering the genuine Malaysian taste that local Malaysians seek. For example, I have tried their nasi lemak, mee goreng and masak lemak. To start off, although the nasi lemak had the basic components of what a nasi lemak would have, the sambal was not as spicy. Their mee goreng was made with spaghetti/pasta instead of the usual egg noodles that you would usually get at your typical local eatery back in Malaysia. Last but not least, the masak lemak was NOT masak lemak at all. It’s supposed to be a spicy turmeric based curry, instead I received a tomato based sweet curry. That was the biggest disappointment for me as a masak lemak lover. Overall, it's a pleasant spot for a meal, but those looking for an authentic Malaysian experience might find it slightly lacking. I ordered takeaway from this restaurant so I can’t say much about the service and atmosphere.
