My wife and I recently moved to the UK and found this amazing Sri Lankan restaurant. The staff was so friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. We had a takeaway with chicken rolls, lobster balls, chicken curry with mushroom rice, and a jackfruit lamprise. The chicken rolls were crispy and flavorful. The lobster balls were so good, they melted in our mouths. The curry was full of flavor and the rice was perfectly cooked. But the lamprise was the best. It tasted just like home. For dessert we had watalappan. It was super delicious. We highly recommend this place to everyone. The lamprise and watalappan are must tries. This restaurant is truly authentic Sri Lankan cuisin

Marvellous food, friendly attentive service and tastes that are a new experience. Your food will be prepared to your 'spicy' specification ,so no concerns you will be disappointed on that score. We're going again soon!

Moved here from Manchester not 2 months ago and I have been tasting the local cuisine, how this gaff has got 4.6 is beyond my comprehension. We ordered 2 starters and 2 mains with rice for an extortionate £45 +, so I thought to my self this is gonna be goooood! It was far from good, the Sri Lankan style poppadoms were stale and chewy, the Lobster ball starters were rubbery and inedible, the 'Lamb' curry mains were bland and laced with potatoes. Poor food, and well overpriced! Needless to say I will not be eating here again, even if you paid me.

We had a family trip here, & all three of us were very impressed. The food was superb, especially the chicken kothu. The menu is smaller than a lot of restaurants but has lots of vegetarian & vegan dishes. They also stock Sri Lanka Lion stout, which at 8.5% is worth a try, if that's your bag. I've only given four stars for Atmosphere, because it was quiet whilst we were there, but it was a nice relaxed place. Recommend.

Kandy offers a culinary journey unlike any other. From the elegant ambiance to the impeccable service, every moment is a delight. Had Lamprais and Chicken Kottu which was fantastic. Dessert was watalappam and that was mouth watering. This hidden gem is a must-visit for food lovers seeking a memorable dining experience. Can park your vehicle nearby car park.

We as a family of 4 visited this place a couple of months ago for the vegan buffet. I will be truly honest here. Food was pathetic. Other than the pakodas, nothing was worth eating as well. They did something wrong with a simple daal and aloo sabzi. There was some issues with their condiments/spices &/or the oil they have used. It was practically smelly and tasted as if gone bad.. the worst part is, when I mentioned my personal experience on FB, they initially hid my comment and then blocked me so I won't be able to tell everyone my experience. That was very amateurish of them.. Anyway, someone who knows about authentic Asian cuisine would never ever should go to this place ( based on my experience). Now if the restaurant can do something about my Google review as well, go ahead! So for the record, Pakora means the fritters which you served as starters and the aloo sabzi means the potato curry which you served as a side for the rice. I defo asked about the drinks that whether they are included in the buffet or not. When you said no, I was okay with it. No harm in clarifying the doubts. And to further add, My elder son ate the dessert from our quota, as we didn't eat and so we gave it to him. Next, my younger son is only 1 yr old and he cares a damn about your tasteless, useless food and he didn't even lick your food. So, stop giving an impression that you did a favour to us by not charging my kids. I have been in Srilanka for a good 10 yrs of my life so I know stuffs about Srilankan cuisine and mind you, You are no one to tell me what is what! I didn't mention about your restaurant's horrific food to you because it won't reach to all if I won't give you a google review. And you did delete my comment on your FB profile and Blocked me! Mind you, I am not the only one to talk about how bad your food is, Go see the reviews, there are many actually!!

You can’t get better endorsement than a current diner saying “are you going in here? Good, because it’s delicious”. Kandy do a vegan buffet on the last Wednesday of the month and it’s fantastic. The onion bhajis taste exactly like Bangladeshi fiyazi, so that was a delicious surprise. The rice noodles and coconut chickpeas were the highlight of the buffet. My friend booked to come back the following month halfway through dinner!

Just paid 6 quid for 3 pinky sized duck spring rolls with a sauce which wasn't what the menu states. The jackfruit delight is mediocre unfortunately it lacks in flavour. The pork Sizzler was tasty that's why there's 3 stars, it was asked for very spicy and it was, very spicy!! Staff took 34 quid and they didn't offer me my change. I will order again to try the Sizzler for myself as that tasted good. But I can't currently recommend...

I recently enjoyed the Wednesday vegan buffet with my girlfriend, and it was fantastic! The food took me back to Sri Lanka with its authentic flavors and good spice levels. The vegan options were abundant, and the indoor decor added to the traditional Sri Lankan vibe. If you're a fan of delicious, authentic Sri Lankan cuisine, this place is a must-try!

I dined at the Kandy Sri Lankan restaurant yesterday, and it was an absolute delight! The authentic flavors transported me to the vibrant streets of Colombo. The dishes were not only delicious but also beautifully presented, showcasing the chef's dedication to both taste and aesthetics. The warm and welcoming ambiance, paired with attentive service, made my dining experience truly memorable. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone craving an exquisite journey through Sri Lankan cuisine.

Beware: Alarming and Unsafe Experience at Kandy Restaurant, Macclesfield Our recent visit to Kandy Restaurant in Macclesfield was deeply disturbing and felt unsafe. The wait for our food was excessively long despite the restaurant being empty, and the dishes lacked the authentic Sri Lankan flavor we were anticipating. The situation turned alarming due to the behavior of the chef/owner. We experienced both verbal abuse and physical violence from him, which occurred in front of our young children, a five-year-old girl and a six-month-old baby. This incident was serious enough to warrant a police report. The lack of functional CCTV cameras heightened our safety concerns, as it poses a risk for unchecked criminal activities like verbal attacks, physical assaults, and even potential robbery. Furthermore, the restaurant's refusal to provide a VAT bill raises questions about their compliance with tax regulations. Considering these experiences, I strongly advise caution against dining at Kandy Restaurant. For a safer and more enjoyable Sri Lankan dining experience, I recommend Sigiriya Restaurant in Altrincham and Knutsford, known for their quality food and excellent customer service. UNFORTUNATELY I CANT FIND A REPLY BUTTON YOUR RESPONSE. BELOW IS THE RESPONSE. Dear Kandy Restaurant Management, I appreciate your response, but I must clarify certain points for the sake of accuracy and fairness. My review was based on genuine experiences and concerns, not on any ulterior motive to promote another business or damage yours. 1. Regarding the Side Dish (Jaggery): My complaint was about being unexpectedly charged for a basic condiment (jaggery), which is typically complimentary in most restaurants. This was surprising and not communicated to us beforehand. 2. VAT Bill Requests: In my review, I expressed concern about the non-issuance of VAT bills despite repeated requests over multiple visits. This is an important matter of compliance and transparency, which was not addressed in your response. 3. CCTV and Safety Concerns: My mention of the non-functional CCTV was to highlight safety concerns. A working CCTV system is a basic safety measure that benefits both customers and the establishment. 4. Allegations of Violence and Theft: These are serious accusations. I would like to reiterate that my family and I felt compelled to involve the police due to the aggressive behavior we experienced. Our intention was never to evade payment or cause harm. 5. Previous Visits: It is true that I have dined at your restaurant before without incident, which is why the recent experience was particularly disappointing and alarming. 6. Authenticity of Cuisine: My feedback about the lack of authentic flavor was a subjective opinion based on my dining experience. I stand by my review as a reflection of my recent experience at your establishment. It was written with the intention of sharing a truthful account and not to defame or unfairly criticize. I believe it is important for customers to share both positive and negative experiences to help others make informed decisions.

Was part of a group of 8. Booked early ahead of a show at the local theatre. We were clear we needed to be out at 7.30pm. Unfortunately the food service was dreadfully slow despite being the only table. We had to chase and the last main course arrived at the time we had to leave. What food was served was nice but when you’re told that a large takeaway order took priority it didn’t make us feel valued as customers in anyway. Sorry but we won’t be back.

Waited quarter of an hour to be asked if we wanted a drink. The drink turned up ten minutes later with dirty glasses. Then was asked if we wanted popadoms whilst we waited. These turned up 10 minutes later, at which point I asked for the chutney and if we could order. Five minutes later, after chasing, the chutney turned up, but still no one to take my order. I walked out. I left them the £6 for the bottle of beer we had, don’t think I should have bothered

We visited on a Wednesday. The restaurant is just under a kilometre from the visitor moorings for those coming from the canal. The food here was amazing, and it's well worth a visit. The tuna meatballs with chutney and the lamb kothu were particular highlights for me. We had the tuna as part of a mixed sharing starter and the lamb chop was also worth a mention. We also had chicken string hoppers, with bread and rice which was good. The food is cooked to order, so you can choose your spice level. This does mean that you should be prepared for a little wait. Service was good; friendly and efficient. Why only 4; whilst the tables/seating area was clean, more attention was needed on the stairs leading to and the cleanliness of the ladies toilet.

Finally revisited after a long time & ordered my usual meatballs & my friend had a halloumi baguette. They take card payments now, which they didn't use to pre-pandemic & the waiter was a tad snarky when we asked if they did. Food was served quickly & freshly-made. The meatballs could do with more seasoning & the side salad wasn't the best, but the chips were nice, hot & crisp. Overall, Konak hasn't changed much. It's still a popular place for lunch.

Good selection on menu, food very tasty and plenty of it and reasonably priced, service was just right not rushed. All the waiters very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Restaurant isn't huge so it got very busy, it would be a good idea to book a table so as not to be disappointed.
