It's a new entry on the local dining scene... the food is very good - both Sri Lankan and Indian. It's one of those off-the-beaten path restaurants that only locals would find... because it's tucked away in a dark corner far from the centre. I would recommend a taxi to go there.
Ok, let's talk food... there's an all-you-can-eat buffet for 39 Swiss francs and Friday and Saturday evening which is really good if you want to taste several dishes. When I last went there I tried some really hot king prawns and a slightly less hot chicken.... then 2 sorts of really good rice (listen to the owner and add coconut mixed with paprika on top of it), 2 different sorts of Indian bread (naan and chappati) and plenty of wonderful veggies... including manioca... which I had never atsted before, and which I fell in love with... there was a strange rice pudding for dessert, quite good in fact. And, to finish it all, not very Indian coffee... and yet, one of the best cups of coffee in town.
