Papaya Restaurant

Such delicious and authentic food. The service was tremendous and the drinks were lovely. You will be treated well. Staff are very friendly and able to assist you with any questions you may have regarding how the food is cooked. I had a really enjoyable time here.

Mutton rolls was 6.50 for 2, for this price bracket I was expecting the the whole thing to be full of meat, I found 1cm size piece of mutton inside each roll. What a rip off. Ordered lamprais for 18.95 I got a spoon full of rice and it was not wrapped I banana leaf as it should, just a piece of 2 inch by 2 inch banana leaf on top. Toilet was dirty as well, see attached picture. Will never come back again, if you have spare money to throw away then goto this 0 rated restaurant as it doesn't deserve a 1 star. 1 rolls, mango lassi, pint of cobra and idly came to £33.13, what a waste of my time and money. Frozen idly no salt or any flavour. Please avoid and share with others as they don't deserve to be open as an sri lankan restaurant. AVOID AVOID AVOID.

I telephoned 90 minutes in advance to book my reservation. The service was excellent and the food was absolutely first class. The menu really spoils you for choice. Overall 10/10. . Vegetarian options: The vegetarian thali is an absolute delight for your taste buds.

I have ordered from this restaurant a year or so ago as a vegetarian and enjoyed the food but this time I dined in at the restaurant as a meat eater! The fish cutlets were beautiful, only criticism is the portions especially for a starter so small were not generous enough. Other dishes I had was mutton curry, okra curry and lemon rice all tasty. The service was also very good. I would eat here again

We moved here recently and my girlfriend was intrigued by the incredible smell coming from the place. After eating here tonight. Wow. The starters we had were incredible but the curries we had for mains were unbelievably good. The aubergine curry in particular. Missed desserts to have cocktails instead and on top of his exceptional service throughout, Nandhu makes one of the best espresso martinis I've ever tried. We can't wait to return. Vegetarian options: Both vegan. Incredible options.

Such friendly staff who all seemed to know about each dish we asked about. They recommended what went with what - and didn't just recommend the most expensive option. Fair dues for that. Food was amazing and my friend - who has never eaten here before - said she was blown away by the dishes. Wonderful. One other point is that a majority of patrons seemed to be regulars and known to staff. Vegetarian options: Great selection for we veggies. Wheelchair accessibility: Staff and restaurant very accommodating. A wheelchair user sat next to us. Dietary restrictions: Staff seemed very knowledgeable about each dish. This is only from listening to other patrons.

Fantastic rasaam soup and mutton rolls, the true flavours of Sri Lanka - server Nandhu looked after our party very well

I have eaten here years ago and I loved it. We recently went back here, and goodness me! Food is absolutely wonderful. I can't say enough what delicious it was. Atmosphere exactly right, the background Indian music beautifully played quietly, so we could chat and hear each other. I love Indian restaurants playing Indian music, it gives you the highest comfort of where you are Thank you very much for an amazing evening, service and food! We will see you very soon again.

We had a meal there tonight. It was truly awful. I have never had such chewy prawns! Chip shop type curry sauce. Not cheap either. Would i ever go back? No never. Total waste of money.

Amazing food, great service. We popped in early on a Friday evening after work and luckily managed to get a table. We are so glad we did! The food was amazing! I’d forgotten quite how much I love Sri Lankan food and the menu didn’t disappoint. Fragrant lemon rice, mutton curry, a dhal with a gentle kick. Wow! Definitely make this your go to Northfields restaurant or maybe don’t, so we can get a table. Will definitely be coming back here. Staff were attentive and nothing was too much bother. Highly highly recommended. Vegetarian options: Gorgeous veggie options as well as meat dishes. All flavourful and delicate, beautifully presented.
