Jaffna House in Wandsworth

Food was absolutely delicious. Ravi was very friendly and provided amazing service

was disappointed with my recent visit. The food was average at best, and the service was shockingly poor. The girl serving us seemed completely uninterested in customer care. She asked me to hand her the menu from the table instead of taking a couple of steps to pick it up herself. Ten minutes later, someone from the kitchen brought it over to the table without so much as a “hello.” No basic courtesy at all. As for the wattalappam, it was a disaster. It tasted more like a bland pudding with a sugary layer on top. I couldn’t even finish half of it and decided to leave. I used to be a regular here back in the day when Jaffna House was excellent, but sadly, those days are gone.

The most amazing food we have eaten out in a long time. The food was absolutely Devine. Hats off to the chef's. The service was exemplary. Thank you so much we will definitely be back very soon. Very happy customers 😀

You can tell this location is one of the oldest Tamil restaurant and takeaways in the city. The quality and taste is definitely well done and you know they have refined it over time to get it just right. A very nice throwback to the takeout restaurants of the 90's(that is a compliment by the way, as a lot of places these days can be rather cookie cutter). The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The food is prepared fresh and fast. Definitely check it out if you are in the area. Only a few minutes(approx 2 min) from Tooting Broadway station.

Lovely food, very authentic and a god choice of Sri Lankan and Indian foods. The service was great the staff were so friendly. Would recommend! I’ll be back!

Great food and lovey service. Ravi and Santosh were friendly and lovely. See you again!

I am order biryani from the Uber eats they are cancelled my order and they mentioned we closed and can't fulfill the order

Enjoyed a very nice meal Thank you Ravi!!!

I loved the service specially from ravi

Precioso restaurante! La comida era increíble, la Dosa era mi favorita y el menú estaba muy delicioso. Los camareros son muy amables y serviciales, sin duda volveremos. Bien valorado y la mejor comida que he tenido en Tooting durante años.

Excellent food and service, great flavour and excellent value for money! Highly recommend

Esta fue una encantadora cena temprana La comida era preciosa y muy bien presentada por camareros muy amables El precio era súper razonable y sin duda volveremos en el año nuevo

Ravi was a great host! Food was amazing, 100% recommend

Was a brilliant meal and great service from Ravi. As a Tamil customer the food was exceptional! 10/10 would go here again.

Ravi was great. Food was great. 10/10 would recommend

Great service from Ravi, the food was stupendous! I would recommend the Paratha & mutton curry.

Great local restaurant. Lovely staff and excellent food.

Staff were lovely and so accommodating. We had a group of 10 and were given a private room at the back with such good service. Lovely place. Ravi was very welcoming!

Lovely meal. We went as a large group and had basically a private room in the back. Drinks, food and atmosphere was 10/10. Also very reasonable price! Ravi was very helpful with recommendations and attentive! Will definitely be returning

Ravi was a wonderful host and really attentive , sag aloo was lovely and the atmosphere was so nice! Would love to come back

Hemos ordenado 100 veces comida vegetariana para llevar para un retiro de meditación. Se entregó a tiempo, la comida era deliciosa y porciones suficientes. No hubo quejas y solo hubo comentarios positivos de los participantes. Gracias por el equipo de personal.

Great place, best srilankan food I've tasted. Atmosphere could do with some polishing/updating. Service was amazing too!!! I have been visiting this place for years and definitely will continue.

Fantastic restaurant, very authentic food and super tasty. Our waiter, Ravi, was very accommodating and made the experience great

This place serves the best mutton rolls about my wife just ordered 16 of them and within 2 hours 8 are already gone. Shes an animal. We also had their THALI on a Friday which had a great array of dishes and a great introduction to Sri Lankan food

Fantastic curry and Ravi was the main attraction

A real gem! We were looking for an authentic Sri Lankan restaurant in London, and after a friend’s recommendation we decided to try Jaffna House, and we’re so glad we did! Every dish was full of flavor and you could really tell the ingredients were fresh and high-quality. The staff were super friendly and the whole place had a really nice vibe. We’ve been back a few times over the past few months and the quality has remained consistently outstanding, if anything, it’s gotten even better! To be honest, we’ve tried a pricey Michelin-starred spot in central London but it didn’t even come close to the experience we’ve had at Jaffna House. Highly recommended!

Excellent food and rapid service

We had Gajan serve us and he was really friendly and the Kandy Kiss cocktail was particularly good 😊

Had a great birthday here! Had the whole backroom to ourselves. The food was delicious and a very reasonable price. Will definitely be coming back!!

Really kind staff and exceptional food and freshly cooked and hot We really enjoyed the the evening and will come back

31/10/2024 (Diwali Night) **A Truly Homely Experience with Incredible Food!** I can’t recommend Jaffna House enough! From the moment we arrived, Ravi & staff made us feel like part of the family. They were so warm and welcoming, really going out of their way to make us feel at home. The food was amazing—started with the flavorful fish cutlet and chicken devil, followed by mutton curry, fish curry, parotta, and veech roti. Everything was fresh, delicious, and full of depth. Accompanied by a delicious Nelli Crush and Cream Soda :D We took away a Watalappam to enjoy with an evening tea, it was an amazing treat. Ravi and staff were very considerate and friendly. If you’re looking for a welcoming atmosphere and fabulous Sri Lankan Tamil food, Jaffna House is a must-visit!

Excellent service, food was true to what you'd expect at home, the staff were accommodating to my spice references. I would specifically like to mention Ravi’s kind and welcoming manner he made sure everything was okay and the food was as we had requested. Will be coming more regularly thanks to him.

This restaurant is an amazing restaurant in tooting. Gajan served me and his service was amazing, very kind and polite! One of the best Asian restaurants in the area. I highly recommend, the service is as good as the food. Need to try this out!!

I came today for lunch once they had opened. They had amazing customer service and the food was perfect. I come here quite regularly and everytime it has been perfect. I very highly recommend.

A restaurant that you can only recommend. We had dinner with a large group and had enough space. Above all, the service was simply fantastic. We really enjoyed the food and all the exotic drinks. We will come back on our next trip and look forward to it. Thank you very much and a big compliment :) நன்றி😊

Family restaurant with very good food and drinks. The people who work there not only helped us in their role as waiters, but were also perceived by us as very caring and almost like a family. Highly recommended, also because of the price and especially for larger groups (‹ 15 people). Just be careful with the spiciness😅 and ask if necessary.

Stunning flavours, great service and fantastic value.

Had an amazing thali and 2 different types of hoppers. Great value, big portion sizes, cute little restaurant and most importantly it all tasted amazing!

Great! Super delicious food, absolutely good prices and wonderful staff. Great recommendation!

My favorite restaurant in tooting. Good service, very cheap, lovely interior and absolutely delicious food!

Food was delicious and priced well too. Service was amazing and had a wonderful time, my son enjoyed his food and the service too.

Really nice atmosphere and good food for the price! Staff were very attentive and all customers seemed to be very comfortable/lively. Would definitely come again.

Came in earlier today mainly because the local pub’s app for ordering wasn’t working and staff paid no mind. I’m so glad I did! Instead of supporting a chain I got a good restaurant with nice staff and amazing food! Would highly recommend. Edit: came back the next day for dinner. If I had remembered to take pictures I would’ve added them! Worth a visit!

The food was delicious and Ravi was an excellent host!

Fantastic meal from Ravi and the team! They accommodated our large group with fantastic service, food and very affordable prices. Will be going back soon!

Great experience at Jaffna! The service was excellent, and the food was delicious with authentic flavors. Highly recommend!! Thanks to Ravi for the extra sauce

I had a great experience at Jeffna House. The food was delicious, and the mango lassi was a highlight. Ravi provided excellent service—he was friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this place

While visiting London, I had the pleasure of dining at Jaffna House for the first time, and it exceeded all expectations. The food was exceptional, bursting with rich Sri Lankan flavors that made every bite enjoyable. The service was equally impressive—Ravi and the staff were welcoming and attentive throughout our meal. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely return on my next trip to London!

Enjoyed great food and wonderful costumer service! Highly recommended for Sri-Lankan dishes.

We had a fantastic first-time experiencehere! The food was absolutely amazing—full of authentic flavors and generous portions. The service was equally outstanding, with Ravi and his team being very friendly and attentive. They even went the extra mile by providing us with extra curry sauce when we asked, which was a nice touch. Overall, it was a great dining experience, and we’ll definitely be coming back!

During my recent visit to London, I dined at Jaffna House for the first time, and it was a fantastic experience! The food was incredible—authentic Sri Lankan flavors that really stood out. The service was top-notch as well, with Ravi and his colleagues being extremely friendly and accommodating. They even offered us extra curry when we requested it, which was a lovely gesture. Overall, it was a memorable meal, and I’ll definitely be visiting again next time I’m in town!

Fantastic Restaurant all the food is extremely tasty with a great atmosphere and charming service. I am a big Curry fan an this is one of the best meals I have had. Especially enjoyed the devil squid but all delicious and thoroughly recommend.

Walked past the other day and decided to come back. Had the Friday special, what can I say other than ‘absolutely delicious’ I enjoyed every morsel and will definitely be back. Great atmosphere, lovely food and exceptional value for money. Absolutely first class.

Fantastic meal with great variety and quality of dishes. Dined as a group and had an amazing variety of tasty meals at a great price. Friendly attentive service. Highly recommend.

Tasty food at a great price. Friendly and attentive staff.

Legendary Sri Lankan restaurant in Tooting. Authentic and delicious . Try the hoppers , the deviled dishes , the crab curry and the watalapam dessert Ravi is friendly as are all the other staff

Great place for snacks with tea or a good takeaway main to sort dinner out!

Beautiful dishes and great portions sizes, Ravi was a great host

Tasty good value food! With great service, 100% recommend.

The interiors felt very dated and a bit kitschy. Service was nice enough but not very professional. The food was also decent but not memorable in any way. It’s an okay place overall but probably wouldn’t return.

Food was absolutely delicious, and the menu differs from other Sri Lankan restaurants, offering more traditional food than restaurants in the area. Also, Ravi and other colleagues answered any questions we had, and were open to changing to spice level of some meals (to make them hotter)! I recommend trying the kothu!

The coconut chutney, sambar vada, and dosas, are all amazing! Reminded me of home! The owner/staff are super kind as well.

Excellent ,wonderful, and amazing place to eat with families and friends

Ravi was very helpful. Great food and spice levels. Kothu roti and jafna mutton curry were amazing. Do order mutton rolls

Fantastic food and great service. Thank you Ravi!

A chilled out restaurant, with nice decor and good service, but probably not the best dosa I've had in Tooting. The cashew fry wasn't anything exciting.

Very nice place, the food was incredible - great spicy-heat level for me, but on the same table we had someone who wanted a hotter meal and one that wanted barely any heat and they were happy to accommodate. Very friendly staff. The place is a little squished and quiet, so it probably isn't great when it's super busy as the volume will be high. Not the quickest service, but it's worth the wait for the great food.

Absolutely fantastic! The food was cooked perfectly, served on time and tasted fantastic! I also tried a drink called a Columbo Mule and it was lovely! Thank you to our servers Ravi & Vaishnavi! I highly recommend!!

We had a lovely evening at Jaffna House. We had great curry and great service, Ravi was lovely and really looked after us!

Found the store online, the service was great and very quick service. Very authentic Sri Lankan food - a wonderful experience. We were served by Ravi who took great care of us. Highly recommend visiting!!

Lovely little gem in Tooting. Our waiter Ravi was fantastic, the food was brilliant and we’ll definitely be back.

Lovely food, fantastic price. Have been back twice. Ravi is very lovely, great service

Lovely service and delicious food - a great lunch

Delicious Sri Lankan food and charming service. Worth the trip to Tooting alone! Devilled prawn, fried puttu with chicken, egg hopper, masala dosa and mutton curry all fantastic!

Slightly run down I would say but lovely authentic south Indian food. The dosas were amazing!

I have been to Jaffna twice, and I LOVE THEIR PRAWN POORI! I can eat it every day! Great food, friendly and kind staff, and a warm and unique space

Authentic, delicious and good value. New people in but the food is just as delicious. Highly recommended.

Great vegan menu and our servers, Vaishnavi and Ravi, were so lovely. Great portion sizes, great taste. My fave was the vegetable kothu

Enjoyable lunch, friendly staff. Ravi & Vaish provided a lovely service.

A massive thank you to Jaffna House for catering our recent party. The food was absolutely delicious and the service fantastic .We will be ordering again soon.

delicious local Sri Lankan well priced, good service, clean shop. String hoppers especially good

The food was absolutely amazing! We really felt like we were taken care of Gajan and his team. We had an amazing time. I was taking my friend to try Tamil food for the first time, and he really helped that be a fantastic first class experience! Thank you, Gajan and everyone!!

OMG, the entire experience at Jaffna was divine. We were treated with kindness, warmth and care and the FOOD! Wow. We ordered too much because we wanted to try everything. The Puttu, the curries (especially the king prawn curry) were amazing. Only wish we had saved some room for dessert… next time!!! Must try😊

Amazing food - the vegan menu is great and Ravi (our server) was very attentive

Lovely food, great service from Ravi, great value, very satisfied!

Really great food. Ravi’s service was great!

Top food at a good price. Ravi was friendly and we had a good evening.

Very lovely restaurant, love Ravi, he’s amazing!

Gajan and the team at Jaffna House gave us an incredible lunchtime buffet meal for our Dad's 60th birthday celebrations. The staff could not have been any more accommodating or welcoming and the food was absolutely incredible, with so many choices. We hired the back room which gave us a really nice and private atmosphere to enjoy the day. Thankyou so much to the team, we loved it and would highly recommend.

I just googled for an authentic Srilankan Restaurant and then this pop, so we went without any idea Exceptional food and atmosphere Food well made and it’s enough for an adult Amazing food guys ☺️

Absolute bargain for such a great masala dosa! Never spend more than a tenner on a dosa and a drink here & it’s the best I’ve had in London hands down

Ravi was friendly and really helpful. He recommended really good food options and made our experience wonderful. The food was amazing and tasteful.

Have visited after it has recently been revamped and I was pleasantly surprised. The dishes are very authentic. The staff are very friendly and recommended the crab curry which was incredible.

Great restaurant, Ravi welcomed us kindly and the dishes were very good.

Amazing food best I’ve had in a long time ravi Was a great server and a lovely man

Family of 4 and we shared meals. Very authentic food attentive staff. Would certainly recommend this place to eat. Very family friendly

Amazing food, great prices. Ravi was a great server and advised us amazingly - must visit Sri Lankan restaurant in tooting! ❤️

Lovely food, change to your usual curry properly slapped. Ravi is a top server wish he’d bring me my breakfast in bed. I’ll be back

Amazing food. I had the Panneer Tikka Masala and my husband had the Thali Friday. We also had chilli paneer. All of the food was delicious and service was really great. Would definitely come back and highly recommend! Thank you!

Absolutely amazing food! Lovely service am definitely going to be coming back 🧡
