Sigiriya in Trafford

Everything tastes wonderful but it all tastes the same. Could do with a an updated menu and some different flavours - more variety please.

Best place for Koththu Lovers, love the atmosphere

Delicious food as is the case whenever we go. Excellent service, all staff members can’t do enough for you. Great atmosphere too. Keep doing a fab job!

Terrible indian food probably the worst Indian in Manchester and highly over priced and over rated and not worth the visit,avoid,

Booked a table on Saturday night for 20.15 in Hale. Arrived. All the staff completely ignored us. Waited 10 minutes at the desk for someone to take us to our table. No one came. We asked a number of waiters who ignored us. The place was carnage. We had booked online. We ended up walking out. Will not be going back

A nice cost restaurant with a bar section which was interesting to see. Very easy to locate and obviously we enjoyed our food. It is really busy restaurant so it is advisable to get booking done. It is a nice place to start your evening with drink and then go for dinner - all at one place. The staff were very helpful and warm. Had a great time

Having tried the same restaurant in Knutsford we thought we would give The Hale one a go the menu is slightly different allowing to try more of the Sri Lanka cuisines and it didn’t disappoint ! I couldn’t not get prawns starter because I’ve not stopped thinking about these since having them in Knutsford because they are the best prawns I have ever tasted large and full of flavour and perfectly cooked ! Like Knutsford this place too has great customer service , clean and tasty food ! Can’t wait to return

I had an absolutely amazing experience at *Sigiriya Restaurant* . From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting, with a perfect blend of traditional decor and modern comfort. The staff (Chef DAHANAYAKE and Waiters LAHIRU / ANIL) were incredibly attentive and made sure every aspect of our dining experience was exceptional. The food was nothing short of spectacular—each dish was bursting with authentic flavors and beautifully presented. Every bite was a delight, and it was clear that the ingredients were fresh and of the highest quality. The service was prompt, and the attention to detail was impressive. Overall, everything about Sigiriya was great, and I can't recommend it highly enough. 😜 I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

Sigiriya in Manchester is hands down the best Sri Lankan restaurant we’ve experienced in the UK so far! Just a 20-minute drive from Liverpool, it’s worth every minute of the journey. The restaurant is impeccably clean, and the atmosphere is rich and authentic, truly transporting you to Sri Lanka. The food here is phenomenal—every dish is bursting with flavor and feels incredibly authentic. Chef Dahanaka’s expertise is evident in every bite. A special shoutout to Anil and Lahiru for their outstanding hospitality; they made our dining experience even more enjoyable with their friendly and professional service. If you’re looking for a must-try restaurant, Sigiriya is the place. We can’t wait to return and explore more of their amazing menu. Highly recommend!

First time in this wonderful restaurant! Such a warm welcome on arriving and great advice from the waiters on what to order (there was so much to choose from)! The food was top quality and a fantastic insight into Sri Lanka. Highly recommended!! Thank you for a great evening.

I just love the place, Don, Sanj and the staff are amongst the best I have ever experienced anywhere in the world.. Always make a fuss of us and are so warming... My first Liaison with the amazing Don was later 2020 early 2021 when i said to him "They are the nicest Lamb Chops I have ever tasted and the only other one which came close were Mughli on bottom street in Knutsford in around 2011, he said that was ME!!! I'm hooked and go in regularly and mostly nibbles or just drinks, Cant recommend it enough, I have converted many friends from Hale and Worsley to it and now they are regulars too xxx A++++

Go to place to eat in hale, always great service and amazing food. Always a great ambience as well.

Good service but food wasn't up to scratch. My 12 year old son can make better Sri Lankan chicken curry. Lamb curry was OK. Wouldn't recommend.

The barman appears to be opportunistic, serving double drinks and attempting to charge extra without informing the customers. While the area may be affluent, such sharp practices are unacceptable and should not be tolerated. To verify this, we conducted a test with another member of our group and unfortunately, the barman repeated the same action.

This place is just fabulous!…. From the greeting on entrance, to the service, cleanliness, atmosphere & the food is top notch!…🙌… Special mention to Soumdarya our server for the few recent times we have been!….She is polite, engaging and super friendly!….Bravo to her & the team!…, We live 25 mins away….but it’s so worth the journey & 1 of our ‘go to’s’ to take visitors!…. Just love the place….& working my way very happily through the menu!….🙌😋

We hosted our wedding lunch celebration for 50 people at Sigiriya Restaurant in Hale and it was an absolute delight from start to finish. The ambiance was warm, elegant and inviting, setting the perfect tone for our special day. All our Indian guests were full of praise for the food. The succulent lamb chops were a highlight, cooked to perfection with a mouthwatering blend of spices that left everyone craving more. Naan breads were served warm, soft and fluffy, the ideal accompaniment to every dish. The tangy aubergine curry (wambatu moju) was a vegetarian delight, bursting with flavour and perfectly complemented by the fragrant saag paneer. Another standout dish was the prawn curry, with tender juicy prawns swimming in a rich and aromatic sauce that had everyone reaching for seconds. Mr. San’s impeccable management ensured that every detail was taken care of, allowing us to relax and enjoy the celebration without a worry. He was a genuine star, gracious, calm, obliging and organised. The drinks selection was excellent, with Ram’s refreshing mocktails stealing the show. Service was spot on, with attentive staff such as Jittu working tirelessly and efficiently to ensure that everyone’s needs were met with a smile. There was plenty of food and additional servings were brought out to order on demand without any question or additional charge. Despite the high quality of the food and service, the value was exceptional. Overall, Sigiriya Restaurant exceeded our expectations in every way, leaving us and our guests thoroughly impressed and satisfied. We can’t recommend it highly enough for any special occasion or simply for a memorable dining experience.

We visited 6 months ago and were blown away by the service, atmosphere and the food. We were counting the days to visit again. Unfortunately, on our second visit we felt the standards had reduced significantly. As a Sri Lankan I also feel the food has been tailored to the British taste, hence lacking authenticity. They have lots of Indian fusion dishes which are completely unnecessary as the Sri Lankan cuisine contains enough variety on its own. Having said that, I understand the need for this, as their target audience are not Sri Lankans. However, given the cost of the dishes, the service should never be questionable and the food should cater to a variety of different people.

A firm favourite - staff are always so helpful and friendly, menu is huge and the food comes straight from the kitchen without a second to cool down. Everything is high quality and full of flavour. Excellent.

Nice food, good service and a very clean environment. The waiters are very friendly and Dom is a good manager/ boss , he always looks after extremely well.

Top quality. Book early because its.very popular.

Went tonight with my family. Fantastic service, ambiance and of course the menu is off the scale. Loved it.

Soundarya was amazing. Lovely service from all the staff who were all so friendly and polite. The food was fantastic and we will definitely be back!!

Love Sigiriya, it’s the most consistent restaurant in Hale Village. Staff and food is always very good and authentic. Will always recommend this place.

Booked table and had to wait in chaos for half an hour. Staff were clueless and were not honest in how long we would need to wait. In party of 12 and seat configuration was rubbish. 2 mains were not delivered and seems such basic thing not to get wrong. Offered several times food destined to other tables though. A shame. Food is very nice if pricey. But wont rush back. Wish restaurant did not overbook so much.

Great atmosphere, fantastic team looking after you, and beautiful food! Dom and the team always look after you and always deliver a great experience!

Soundarya was amazing and very helpful. All staff great Beautiful food. Lovely place and atmosphere Definitely recommend

Amazing service! Amazing food ! Would 100% recommend! The service made us feel so welcome and at home, we have recently returned from Sri Lanka and we relived our trip! Thank you Sanjeewa!

Excellent atmosphere, very welcoming, staff extremely friendly especially San & Marcelino. Would highly recommend

Good Sri Lankan restaurant. Flavorful food and nice atmosphere. Biriyani is a must try.

Came in on 5th January for my brothers birthday meal and was not disappointed as the food was very nice attentive staff and nice busy atmosphere and will probably visit again as he has just moved into the area and is partial to a nice curry!

Fabulous food, fantastic service and lively atmosphere. Always a pleasure.

Food was delicious and Don and the team were amazing. Thanks for an excellent evening.

Initial order was papadam one portion, served in 3 plates and charged for 3. Ordered lampris, it was cold seems defrosted, polrotti was too hard. I was quite happy while entering but the food was not worth for the price

Booked a table for 21st Dec weeks ago and then they cancelled 2weeks prior as a company has booked out the restaurant !! Profit before service ! Really poor , it won’t only be me that’s affected I’m sure . Won’t be going there again

The food and ambience is very good. The service is excellent. The prices charged are what only can be described as greedy and ridiculous. They are charging more than top city centre top restaurants! This explains why not full on 8 December. £36 for a bottle of Pinot Grigio is a rip. A place you go to just the once.

First time customer, dropped in to order a takeaway early in the evening midweek. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the restaurant elegant. Prompt service, so prompt I still had half of a stone cold pint left when my order was good to go. Order was correct and absolutely delicious. The balti tikka masala was just about perfect, packed with flavour and a nice level of spicy heat. The other Half's butter chicken was equally as good. Might have been my first visit and takeaway at that, but I will definitely be returning. UPDATE: Returned for another takeaway this evening. Same excellent food and service as previously. Also dined in, and got the complete Sigiriya experience earlier in the year. Whole-heartedly recommended.

Very rude and unpleasant staff. Won't go there again.

My sister were not hungry, so we ordered wine, poppadums basket, fried squid and butter chicken to go. After ordering, different waiters was coming to us every 5 minutes and asked what we would eat. It looked impolite and created a fuss rather than a relaxed atmosphere. This continued throughout our presence. Staff simply interrupted our conversation and did not allow us to talk calmly. As a result, after 1 hour and 15 minutes they simply let us know that it was time for us to go and said they would bring the bill.Although there were free tables and the restaurant was not completely full. It's very unpleasant that the staff behaves like this! I don't feel like I would come back there again after being treated like this

Best Sri Lankan restaurant in North. Tried Lumprais amazinggg loved it but wish the portion was a bit bigger 🙂 Great place!!!

Had the butter chicken, chicken biryani, nan, onion bhaji and another of the starters I forgot the name of. All really nice. The Sri Lankan Lion beer is also excellent. I would say that a main course per person is probably enough unless you're really hungry.

Once again, a fantastic Sunday in Sigiriya! Exceptional food, drinks and service from the highly professional and always welcoming team of staff, brilliantly led by Don!! We love this place!!!

Great food, service and atmosphere!!

Really enjoyed the dishes served, we had chicken kottu, lamprais and naan which were all delicious. We asked our food to be spicy and were not disappointed one bit! It was spicy but to the right level. The staff was welcoming and Sanjiva and Lahiru were very polite. I'm based in the south, but I'll definitely pay a visit next time when heading to Manchester!

Very friendly staff and great service.

Very disappointed with the food. One curry not much flavour, street food portions small and over priced. Peshawari naan was awful.

Food is always fresh and tasteful. Great service from the lovely staff. Would highly recommend.

Always a superb meal and excellent service. I'm

Excellent food and ambience! Only wished the portions were big to match the prices.

Poor value for money. Ingredients did not seem fresh and flavours were bland. Curry’s were mushy and Sizzler wasn’t sizzling and was very dry

Busy place book to make sure you get a table. The food is good, a Sri Lankan twist.

Excellent food !!! Amazing flavours.

I was in the Srilankan event, had one Kottu roti. The potion and the taste was good, as there was a big queue, went to Sigiriya restaurant and ordered a Kottu & lump rice , both potions was very small and the taste wasn’t good enough for the standard in the restaurant and big chunks of chicken in the kottu, when you change that kind up money please serve a good meal

Normally a good experience as we go reasonably regularly however the last experience was very disappointing. Food was average, quite dry as if it had been undr lamps for a while. Our second round of drinks was forgotten, they eventually arrived after 2 chasers of which the waitress seemed quite annoyed with us. Then after an hour and 20 minutes at the table when we were finishing the delayed drinks we were ushered to the bar as they neefed the table for someone else despite on the booking showing you have the table for 2 hours. Never experienced that anywhere before. Won't be rushing back.

Our first visit to this busy and popular restaurant and although a vibrant and buzzy atmosphere was a little too crowded for a comfortable night out with your partner. Tables are placed extremely close to each other and conversations are shared with all. Food was ok…. Starters of tandoori chicken was lovely and tender but mains weren’t as delicious tasting over seasoned with less authentic flavours. Attentive staff but a little brisk for a relaxing dinner vibe.

Brilliant - friendly, helpful staff; huge menu with all kinds of dishes from curry, meat, veggie options; freshly made, large portions and really good quality. Highly recommended.

Love Sigiriya. It's my favourite restaurant, the jumbo prawn tikka starter is to die for, it packs heat and juicy flavour and never disappoints!

A great restaurant with incredible food and service

Amazing food and superb service

Exceptionally good, food was beautifully presented tasted amazing, San & Hetish absolutely great really looked after us. Would recommend you try the sigriya rocks cocktail it was amazing! Ceylon chicken is my favourite very authentic my partner had the lamb chops and said they melted in his mouth.

Great food, long wait though. We had a 730 booking and we’re told to wait for ten minutes at the bar which was full. We waited 50 minutes to finally sit down. The drink we had at the bar wasn’t reimbursed either so that was £15 wasted. The food was great and staff very friendly throughout. There were 4 other couples at the bar also waiting same length of time as us

Always amazing!!! Fresh food, service is outstanding always. You will not get better.

Best curry available! Lovely decor, I opted for the king prawns they were MASSIVE! Lots of flavour. One to look out for is the Ceylon chicken. My wife had the Ceylon chicken and said it was amazing!

Our favourite restaurant in Hale. Dom, Hitesh, Sanjewa and the team always do a fantastic job of looking after us. The food is simply stunning, authentic Sri Lankan dishes that are mouthwateringly tasty! Some of our go to’s are the king prawn stater, chicken shashlik and mixed Kothi Roti, the menu is quite extensive so there is always something new to try and it’s all delicious! Excellent wine list and great tasting cocktails. As well as the food it’s the staff and atmosphere that make this place, amazing service and thanks so much for another amazing meal!

Simply delightful, celebrated my wife's birthday, we loved the vibe and the food. A very big thank you to Don and the team for an excellent evening, My kids were excited the way the cake was presented with a drummer 🪘 I will for sure revisit when in Hale, Manchester again 👍

Was welcomed by the amazing San he took great care of us and his service was exceptional, he really looked after us. Food was fresh and tasty. 5/5.

If you are looking for a restaurant with high quality food, professional service, clean & tidy atmosphere and satisfaction for what you spend, i do not hesitate to recommend Sigiriya! I can say one of the Best Restaurants in Uk!

Such a good restaurant choice offering a great Sri Lankan menu ideal for several plates amongst friends. Ice cold Cobra beer. Not a typical Indian restaurant. Always different & delicious here. Attentive service with smiles. An Easter Thursday night so a busy, great atmosphere.

Very expensive, don't expect a Sri Lankan taste in foods. Very disappointed in my visit.

Delicious food. Wonderful service by all, especially the lovely Leo and Anil and of course Dom as always! Wonderful atmosphere too on a saturday evening. Best authentic Sri Lankan and Indian food outside of London!

Very good customer service and excellent taste foods....

One of the Best Sri Lankan and Indian Fine Dining Restaurant in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧

I would not say this is authentic Srilankan food. Especially the Kotturotti, etc. Need much more improvement in Qualities. Please give proper srilankan food. If you say it's Srilankan food Little bit expensive for the taste & and the qualities of the food. Staff were very helpful. Nice & cleane place.

Wonderful atmosphere and friendly service. Food was ok, not great

Absolutely fabulous food. Very good value and delicious. Will definitely be going back.

Great drinks , food and service 🙌

Delicious and fresh food, with very friendly service. The grills are amazing. The restaurant has been very noisy the times I visited; there is nothing the owners can do about that, so if you don't like noisy restaurants I'd suggest to avoid Friday and Saturday nights.

SIGIRIYA Isn't cheap. Because it uses the finest of ingredients in its food. It is run by a Man who has high knowledge of the Restaurant and Hotel Scene In Dubai. It's food is GREAT.

Warm welcome. Tastefully decorated. Varied menu with good choices for vegetarians. Deliciously fresh food. Teenage kids loved it too.

Nice decor and very relaxing atmosphere also good service. But the food! Most of sri lankan dishes are not authentic sri lankan. Its wired combination of sri lankan and Indian food! This is my second visit don't think I would be rush back. If you're looking for authentic sri lankan food, this is not the place 😑

Sigiriya was one of the best meals we've eaten. Fantastic Sri Lankan food, great service and good value. The Kothu Roti was probably our favour dish but everything was incredible! Can't recommend it enough, we'll be back!

If you want authentic sri lankan food this is not the place. Weird combination of Indian and sri lankan food! Nice interior and good service. Really don't know how some of the dishes conceder as sri lankan! Clearly not. Unfortunately Won't rush back.

Great food and service - the staff were attentive and the food was delicious!

I went today and it was absolutely amazing, the customer service was even better, I ate with my hand and it felt like I wasn't being judged at all, I really recommend this place, it's amazing!

What a night. Excellent all rounder

Good food and atmosphere however we felt processed. The staff seemed more interested in getting us in and out again than anything else.

The food is amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ the service is amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️the atmosphere is amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I can't wait to come back 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Always great food, tasty, fresh & well priced.

Had a wonderful experience at Sigiriya. Delicious well cooked authentic Sri Lankan food . Coming from an experienced Sri Lankan home cook (me 😂) this is high praise. The whole atmosphere was great. The service was efficient friendly and delivered with the great Sri Lankan hospitality and warmth . The prices were higher than I would normally pay for the dishes but together with the delightful service and delicious cocktails it was worth it. Dishes of note were; fish frikkadels ( delicious but a big bigger would make it worth the price ) Kothu roti , aubergine moju, vegetable fried rice, sliced beef and potato curry, paripoo and the Sri Lankan style creme caramel

Really well looked after and made welcome Don, only surpassed by the quality and taste of the food.

We chose this restaurant as our friends live just a ten minute walk away. We were warmly welcomed and shown to a nice table and ordered drinks. My wife was given a GF menu which she and I ate from and our friend advised staff of her nut allergy. After popadoms and pickles our main courses arrived and my wife and I ordered: Ceylon Chicken and Parsi Lamb with plain white rice. Both main courses were excellent, as was the service. Many thanks - we’ll be back!

We’ve been to this restaurant on multiple occasions and always leave happy. We went on honeymoon to Sri Lanka and love coming here - the flavours are rich, deep and incredibly tasty and transport us back. Really enjoyed trying the beetroot curry last night, alongside many other delicious dishes. The staff are always incredibly friendly and accommodating, and nothing feels like too much trouble even for a large group with small children. Thank you so much and please maintain your authentic and warm atmosphere - we will be coming back again for sure.

Now this is what I call fine dining. Looked after from the moment you step inside, the people here are just lovely and go above and beyond. The food is exceptional, we loved it that much we booked back for my daughters 18th and we had the best time and it was money well spent

Great atmosphere, great service, great tasting food. Everything you'd expect from a well run restaurant is there.

Really great service from the team (Leo and Jigit). Food top notch and nice to see it has quite a family feel early in the evening

My husband and I had the best ever experience dining at this fab place! We highly recommend to anyone who want to try delicious Sri Lankan food. We were so lucky to have found this place in Altrincham and so close to home. Can’t wait to come back. #lovesrilanka

14th Nov 2021. Very comfortable restaurant with a difference in that it is a Sri Lankan restaurant. The difficulty is choosing from the extensive menu. We choose a Ceylon Chicken, A Karachi Chicken, Pilau Rice, and one of the best Peshwari Naans I think I've...

This was our fourth visit to Sigiriya, and the best yet. The service and food was exceptional. Friendly waiters, everything was kept clean, the service from beginning to end ran smoothly and efficiently, and the food was utterly delicious. The digestiv drinks on the house...

Absolutely amazing, beautiful friendly place. Wonderful service and such wonderful food. We will certainly return.

good would go back but not great

Amazing decor and very fast service. The weather was hot during our visit and front bifolding doors were open which let in a lot of road noise unfortunately
