Valentine Restaurant in Ealing

Good atmosphere and tasty food.

Nice place a family event good service for the customer I will visit again

Very nice Sri Lankan food. Good quantities and value. Friendly staff. Must say that some of the negative comments on this site are ridiculous. This is Sri Lankan food not Indian food!

Not at all good for north indian or spicy food

There food used to be very tasty but I think recently they have hired a new chef. Now dosa is very thin, sides are served cold and portion sizes are way smaller then what it used to be.

As authentic Sri Lankan flavours go, what’s on offer at Valentines is as good as it gets & I can vouch for that. Wholesome Sri Lankan food with a ‘home cooked’ feel. None of those oily curries on offer here, like those at most other curry houses. You are bound to leave Valentine after a meal, feeling hearty & happy. Don’t let the drab, outdated interior fool you, as it’s the food that they bowl you over with. Give these guys a try the next time you’re around Greenford/Southall area, I’d totally recommend it.

Without a shadow of doubt, the worst Indian restaurant i have ever been to. Slow poor service and awful food.

very poor taste spend £150 but really didn't like food stall told manager before we was leaving the restaurant Manager told us he dont care about our feedback we were 12 people none of them had enjoy the food Can’t rate Less than one , but horrible food.Chilli Paneer with tons of vinegar too sour Chicken 65 over fried and chewey like chewing gum.Deville lamb. Same so chewey and completely bland tried to create a dish out of bland in marinated lamb tossed in hot sauce Rasam very sour ..

We enjoyed it greatly there Indian food nice atmosphere great beers excellent place

It's No.1 Srilankan & South Indian restaurant in London. Good food quality and Customer service iswell. I love this restaurant.

Excellent Sri Lankan foods and staff at the restaurant are very friendly and helpful, overall nice experience.

Eat here now and then with my stepfather. Good value tasty authentic dishes, courteous service, lots of choice, good portions. Just check for spiciness to ensure you get the right level. Great value set meals and can get a classic mango lassi here

First time when I tried the spices. Staff were very kind to help me with youghurt to calm my tongue. Great amount and happy to go there again

Can’t rate Less than one , but horrible food. Chilli Paneer with tons of vinegar too sour Chicken 65 over fried and chewey like chewing gum. Deville lamb. Same so chewey and completely bland tried to create a dish out of bland in marinated lamb tossed in hot sauce Rasam very sour .. Used to be good food . Looks like the cooks have changed . Please avoid if you don’t want to spoil your night out

the food was very bad when i went in 19/01/2019 when me and family ordered the stater the mutton was raw and the chicken was chewy however the chicken briyani was okay but i would not recommend anyone to go there for the curry and the main just go for the briyani and dosa

The Best and my number one Srilankan restaurant in uk .... Thanks guys. Wish u all the best guys. Kasun

Tasty.. but to much oily... prices are very high

Grt day out with the family... celebrating my daughters birthday 🎂. Saturday 13th.. It's the first time my wife & I have been & we have enjoyed the atmosphere. The food is excellent & the taste is as home made. Good potion for valve for money. Staff are very friendly, helpful & polite. Appears small family run business..I would personally recommend this restaurant for a couple or a family evening, outing..

Food was tasty large portion . Staff are lovely and helpful. Good and quick service

Service is good and loved the food....it was really good !

I used to go to valentine regularly, food was really good. I am not going to them anymore because of the food I bought last couple of times , it was horrible no taste at all and full of oil. I don't no whether they have change the chef. They don't even deserve a one star.

Fantastic lumprice set. Better than Colombo!

The service was good. The food wasn't. We ordered a mixed grill. The meat was so tough, overcooked, overly spicy. We tried to eat it but couldn't. Perhaps if we ordered Sri Lankan food, it would've been better. The best part of it was the chocolate!

Good clean South Indian restaurant. Quick service and very reasonable prices.

After searching on the internet for a Sri Lankan restaurants serving hoopers I came across Valentines Restaurant in Southall. I telephoned the restaurant to check they definitely did serve our desired dish and was delighted they did. The restaurant wasn’t busy for a Friday night which was surprising. We were shown to our table and found the waiting staff friendly and helpful. The menu was filled with traditional dishes and quite reasonable priced. We didn’t wait too long for our food and found it all very tasty. Somethings were hot but it’s kind of expected. We thoroughly enjoyed the fluffy hoopers with coconut sambol and seni sambol and of course coconut milk hoopers for dessert. Yummy they were amazing but very filling. With a few alcoholic drinks and a variety of dishes we paid approximately £21 ahead for 4 people which was very reasonable. Will definitely visit again!

Large servings. Reasonable prices. Lovely staff.

I visited this restaurant with my family last week and it’s one of the best place for good srilankan and Indian .We ordered a mix plater for starter and I must tell you it’s delicious with variety of seafood and meat deeply fried and cooked with spicy sauce it’s a definite yes for any one wants a family starter ,for the main we had lovely mutton and chicken dum biriyaniNice tender mutton with lots of srilankan spices added in the biriyani .overall it’s a great place to have good food in Southhall and the service is fast and efficient I strongly recommend this place to any one wantsTo have typical srilankan food .keep it up guys......

Proper SriLankan food, great value!

I visited this restaurant with my elderly mother and cousin who uses a wheelchair. We were greeted by Tausy who was friendly and accommodating. We all like varying degrees of spicy food and each meal was done exactly as we ordered. We all had a lovely experience. Definitely be going again soon. Jan and family

It is a smelly restaurent, soon after tasting the starters we left the restaurent without eating it. Food was so stale that it couldn't be cooked to be soft. Avoid avoid avoid.

Unsalted food and very disappointed

had a family gathering here. Food is good. Can hire for having small birthday parties or just want to have dinner. Good place to go.

The kothu roti was so delicious so is the mango lassi. Finally the milk appam was very scrumptious mouthwatering

Quaint little srilankan restaurant with brilliant food and great service.

I dropped by here accidentally driving in Southall and since the Punjabi Resturant next door was closed decided to check this out recommend by the car shop mate in the corner. The food was priced right, quantity was good for 2 pax and tasted fantastic. Don't miss this if you like spicy food!

Great tasting quality food. We tried there delivery. Food was nicely packed. Rice was cooked properly and their other two dishes we tried were also great, palak daal and other paneer dish was also tasty.. would definitely order again. There always room for improvement. :). They should switch to plastic bpa free containers instead of aluminium ones.

Great Service, Fantastic Food, Great Prices.. My Wife's Favourite Restaurant.. Which means we go often.. A pleasure every time..

I dropped by this restaurant as the one I was supposed to eat in was shut (even though the opening time was mentioned as 11 30am and I arrived at 1 pm). My friend and I were very hungry and just decided to drop into Valentine which was next door. We decided to go old school and not check out reviews before dropping in. We each ordered the rice and strong hoppers meal. The food was excellent and flavourful. The string hoppers, mutton and aubergine were in particular very good. The portions are also quite large. And the cost is very reasonable. I would be a regular if only it was closer to home!

We went on a snowy day to find comforting food. Everything was freshly prepared and very tasty, adjusted to our spice level. Good recommendations from the staff. Definitely recommended.

Really good traditional Sri Lankan food. Even you can buy some Sri Lankan foods which you can't find somewhere else. Great customer service!

The mutton dum biriyani was so delicious also the mango lassi it was so tasty and mouthwatering. Last but not least the milk appam was very scrumptious

The kothu roti was very awesome and delicious also the dum biriyani was very tasty last but not least the the chicken 65 was good

This is one of my favourite South Indian restaurant. Never been disappointed so far. The only negative thing that I’ll say are, the food is hot (spicy hot) even if you as for mild. For example the Devil Mogo which I order every time. And also the two small bottles of water on the table, it’s like holiday hot spot tactics.

Went there with husband for Valentine’s Day Had dosa And also they serve halal food Which is reasonable Not that busy but quiet and peaceful for romance

My husband name is subhash. He took his illegal wife. I am a legal wife and three children. I found and I called that restaurant. Manager helping me and I know my husband cheating my life and children life. Manager helped that is very big help my life. Another wise I thinks my husband worked. This is a big help.

The food was very delicious and the uthappam was very tasty. The rolls was very good also the soup was tasty

I had almost 6 varieties of food and it's was amazing and great customer service and good space in side for family and good parking area.

OMG!! I love the Mutton Briyani tbh its the best i had . There are a variety of food and the quality is unbelievable. Recommend the mutton briyani for anyone new ppls.

Highly recommend gr8 service and lovly food me and my friends we always have kitty party's here

This is one of the best restaurant I tried with my family tasty food and excellent service and a huge selection of food in the menu . I will keep coming to this lovely place with my family ,keep it up guys

Good customer service, food was very nice. There were variety of srilanka foods to choose from. We enjoyed and had a very good time. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

I went there with my family and the food was just so good. dum Briyani, lamb rice was just so attractive.

Driving past and seeing this place we thought we'd give it a chance. The decor is modern and trendy, with the staff being friendly and amazing with their recommendations. The food was just amazing and the price was shockingly good value.

We live in southall for years but never tried this restaurant , last week decided to try first time

Friendly staff, delicious food. Ambiance was excellent. Very clean, Excellent variety of food Well I'm a regular customer will recommend for who ever want to try Asian/ srilankan food.

Recommend this place to all. Rarely post comments but this place is clean. The service was very good and the food was mouthwatering to say the least. +1

We travelled frome Birmingham and decided to try this restaurant and ooh my god what can I say we had best experience ever.apart from there food being absolutely authentic and delicious, the service was excellent. We ill visit egain I'm sure💑

Good food . I got Lamb rice that was delicious and big potion to consume There are many items on the menu, I want to try so will return

Delicious food and a fantastic place. If you are looking for a place that offers real flavours from South Asia, go to this place!

Exelent service highly recommend loved the food special tandoori chickens and mixed grill will definitely come back agin :-)

The food was very good especially the valentine kothu and the service was very good. I wouldydefinitely come back

Excellent customer service and a nice environment for a family meal. Must try their special kothu rotti.

Absolutely loved this place. Great food, friendly staff. Highly recommended 👍

The staff were very welcoming and friendly, ordered various types of food according to individual choice and we did not have to wait for long for the service.

Friendly staff, delicious food. I am glad that my friend recommended this place. I will visit this place very often now Ambiance was excellent. Very clean, Excellent variety of food

The food was delicious, the best dosa and tandoori chicken in town. The restaurant is clean and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend it.

Food was amazing and the service by Vishnu was second to none. Must try! Thank you team for wonderful experience.

Brilliant food and lovely staff always welcoming.

Uninviting exterior, very dark and swarthy. Entered, nice customer service.

Visited this restaurant more than 10 times now and keep coming back, the dosa's are so good here! Mogo chips are also very tasty. Friendly and welcoming service, it's quite a large restaurant so great if you are with a larger group.

The food was very awful, the food needs to be tested by the food standards agency. I do not recommend this bloody restaurant.

Decided to have a quick lunch as we passed the restaurant. The service was excellent. We decided on something simple - potato bhajias, idly and masala dosa as all the dishes had to be cooked freshly. All the food was pretty good apart from the sambar it was so hot that you could not eat it even though we said please keep the food mild. The waiter said sure but I do not think the restaurant understands what mild means. Shame as you could not taste the sambar.

Friendly staff but the food was so disappointing - prawns/ squid tough in starter dishes. Fried chicken Curries were tasteless - thick sauces but no real flavour

we went here to have family dinner but did not feel comfortable. The waiter was standing beside the table asking if we are ok every minute. The food did not taste good so we just left.

Quiet when I visited. Basic cafe style decor. Sri Lankan food. No great effort in presentation so, although tasty and well cooked, the food lacks any sort of wow factor. Fairly cheap but there must be many better options. Not somewhere I would choose for a night out and the service was no more than adequate.

Very nice dishes.excellent Food

Had a lovely time today with my family and friends. Food is very good and the service was excellent. It appears the management is very much looking out for you to have a nice time and your needs and requirements. Will visit again.

We ordered variety of dishes. All top notch. Great service and brilliant Sri Lanka food. Super service by Viz. He was super friendly and helpful choosing the food.

I visited this restaurant when they first opened.

Booked this restaurant for my birthday celebration, 20 of us. Everything was great from start to finish. Food excellent and Arvind is very friendly and helpful. Will definitely recommend. We ill be back soon.

Food was nice but... The guy was always coming every 5mins (which is quite creepy) but Food was amazing. Love the Fishes ❤ Love the Chocolate😋

5 Excellent rating does not do this place justice! I've ordered from here a couple of times now, and I have to say I love the food!I am so glad I live nearby! The food is delicious, I particularly like the devilled mogo, dosa and the curry dishes. I have always been so impressed and satisfied with everything. I would like to try more of their food and at some point will try more of the Sri Lankan influenced cuisine on the menu. The gentleman at the front, I believe is the owner, is so polite. It's so refreshing for staff to provide such a genuine customer service and take care of their staff. I will definitely be ordering from here again.

Super Saturday lunch Different flavours & great service. Busy restaurant with many Asians eating! Sri Lanka'n food, great Dosa!

Food wasn't up to standards, tasted weird. Customer service wasn't great, the guy at the front did not seen welcoming. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

We've celebrated my birthday there and it was a big success ! We all had a wonderful time. Great place. Great food. Great people. Thank you for everything !

The restaurant looks a bit dark from the outside during daytime because of the tinted windows, but as soon as we walked in it was lively and busy during lunchtime. All dishes were good and all curries had its own type of sauce with a unique fresh taste. (Not the same sauce for all the curries like in some other restaurants)

first time in this restaurant since change of owner and I must say very pleased how bright and clean it is now . the staff were so helpful with everything helping us order etc. when the meal arrived it was very good just how we wanted and the food wine and beer was a very reasonable priced .. I can honestly say we will certainly pay a return visit. and just to say the toilets were very tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean.

Enjoyed the food good size portion and friendly service. And reasonably priced and fresh tasting seafood selection had their prawn and squid dish was yummy. Also asked the squid to be deep fried as they don't batter it but taste fresh. Lampraise is authentic tasting

Booked a table for 16 (12 adults and 4kids) last weekend, and we all had an amazing time. Food: cracking, no words to describe how good it was!! It was just to die for!! Service: friendly and very helpful in explaining the menu Bill: for the amount of food and drinks (also alcoholic drinks) we had it was very reasonable We found a new venue!!

Drove past this place so many time and finally decided to go in. Best decision ever. Staff were very friendly and the food was amazing. Especially the mutton rolls. And we were very pleasantly surprised when we got the bill. I now recommend this place to everyone

We were welcomed to this restaurant on Saturday evening by Ruby.There were 3 in our party, two Sri Lankans and a Welshman plus his guide dog. This Welshman loves South Indian and Sri Lankan food and we gas heard good things about Valentines. Unlike many Asian restaurants, there was no hesitation when they saw the guide dog and we were offered a really nice table.

I went with my mum and dad and they have very good food I ate ice cream and egg kothu rotti. My ice cream was also nice and very tasty.

Writing this review while I'm still in the restaurant and finishing my sweet semolina based dessert that was included with the set meal.

We used to come here when it was the Nepalese restaurant. We visited when they reopened after refurb in June 2015.. Wish we hadn't bothered. Menu not a patch on what it was when it was Nepalese. Not great vegan choices (there were quite a few before and all very tasty).

During our trip to London, we have visited this establishment with some family members.

We went to Southall on the look for a curry, and stumbled across this brilliant Sri Lankan restaurant. I personally had never eaten Sri Lankan food, but we were going to go on a trip to Sri Lanka shortly after this visit. I fell in love with Sri Lankan food, and Kottu Roti in particular.

We have been to Valentines many times and travel 40 miles! The food, value and service is amazing! Highly recommend. Try the egg hoppers they go perfectly with the lamb curry.

Been here a few times now and it's now time to write a review! You can taste every time that the dishes are cooked fresh. The best thing I like about this restaurant is that they make the dishes the way you want! So you can also request a dish spicer or milder. This is so great because my kids don't eat spicy food. Menu is plenty of choice. Raj, the manager is very welcoming every time and always looks after us. My favourite here is Kothu, and my kids love the Dosa.

We went to Sri Lanka for our honeymoon and felt in love with the delicious flavours of their cuisine. Back in UK we never found a nice Sri Lankan restaurant where we experienced this again. Until at Valentine!
