Jaffna House in Wandsworth

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

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!

Fantastic curry and Ravi was the main attraction

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.

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!

Stunning flavours, great service and fantastic value.

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!

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!

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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😊

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!!

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.

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

A friend highly recommended Jaffna house so we went for dinner last night. Staff very welcoming and polite, very attentive to explain the menu and suggest dishes. The dishes were delicious, tables, restaurant and toilets spotless clean! We’ll definitely go back!

Authentic, Sri Lankan food. Have been having the mutton rolls from here for 20+ years! Ravi has always given excellent service too.

Delicious authentic Sri Lankan food! Super reasonable prices, really good spot for a filling tasty evening with good beer - get the Lion for proper Lankan experience :)

Love the food here! Keep going back for more! Highly recommended!! Great value for money!

Great food 100% will be back do not miss out on the chicken 65 and the mutton/prawn curry

Excellent service and authentic food and service by Gajan. Homely feel. Must visit.

Local authentic food. The taste is clean and refreshing with a nice manageable menu which is how we like it. No frills and no need to show off when you've been around for years. Must visit.

Great food!! Ravi was very polite took great care of us! Will return!

Came to this restaurant to taste a bit of a Srilankan cuisine and order mutton&seafood kothu roti with mutton rolls & fish cutlets for starters! All the food was freshly made and tasted amazing! Asked to make the food spicy and it was delicious. The restaurant looked very cultured with beautiful paintings and they had traditional music playing in the background which was great to listen to. Staff kept the restaurant very clean and tidy. The staff were very friendly and made us feel at home. Had a great conversation with Ravi and Thank you for the great service, Ravi and Vaish! I would definitely recommend this restaurant for any tourists who want a taste of Srilankan cuisine! Love from Norway 🇳🇴🫶🏾❤️

Amazing food and lovely staff. Feels very authentic.

Delicious lunch, great value for money and lovely experience . We enjoyed the massala dosa, plain dosa, seafood puttu and veg kothu. Had some mango lassi for dessert too. Excellent service from Ravi and the team. The beautiful paintings on the walls are a nice bonus.

Ravi was lovely and very attentive. Would come here again

Brilliant little gem, ravi is very friendly and made us feel welcome. Large portions and tasty authentic Sri Lankan food.

Food was absolutely fantastic and unbelievable value - would definitely recommend sharing and trying everything! Rava was such a wonderful waiter and I can't wait to return soon!
