What can i say to do this restaurant justice.
First thing yes its all delicious what are you doing still reading this get down there!
I didn't take many photos as I was too busy eating and enjoying every bite.
So me and my wife were there for our wedding anniversary and been wanting to try this place out for a while. We booked a Saturday lunchtime slot of 2pm so it was quieter and we could enjoy the food and relax.
My expectation was that everything would be authentic, not just a run of the mill curry house. We ordered our starters, lamb chops, hot butter chicken wings and calamari along with a couple of cocktails.
When I say this food was cooked and seasoned beautifully I dont think I could do it justice.
For the main we had pork, chicken and goat and these were each different, light, flavourful, the meat just came apart, just juicy.
This was one of the best meals i have ever had and the cocktails were spot on.
We were lucky with the timing as it was the end of the lunchtime service to it was quiet so not sure what its normally loke but i do suggest if you are on the area check it out.
It was quiet and the service was great. The recommendation was good. The food was very good. I personally don't like my plates cleared until I have finished eating I feel like they are trying to rush you to leave. So that was the only downside
I don't have words to express how deeply satisfied I was with my food. It tasted delicate yet strong, spicy but not overpowering, balanced and deliciously beautiful. I was upset that I got full up and couldn't try more dishes. Factoring in the absolutely reasonable prices, I cannot remember the last time I came away from paying for a meal and feeling it really was so worth it. Thank you.
Very tasty food, and big enough portions that we took half of each meal home for tea. The flavours were just a little bit 'polite' compared to dishes we've had in Sri Lankan cafes but this would be a good restaurant to introduce someone to Sri Lankan food.
In the heart of Croydon, a Sri Lankan restaurant, from the outside it did not suggest anything good, in reality, a really charming, clean and well-kept restaurant. short waiting times. GREAT FOOD really tasty. reasonable prices. Really courteous staff also very friendly manger. bathrooms clean and well maintained. if you are in the area I recommend it. great! Also plates are really nice with sun and moon.
Very tasty food at this cosy Sri Lankan. All of our dishes were great tonight. I would particularly recommend the fish curry and prawn curry, the welling pork too. Very delicate in the cooking and flavour combos, not overpowering.
The staff were very friendly to us, particularly as we made a few mistakes whilst ordering and returned some dishes and we weren't charged. Will definitely come again to try the other dishes.
Walked past this restaurant so many times telling myself I would try it one day. Yesterday was finally the day and now I'm so mad myself for not going sooner! Everything I ate was 10/10 and I went with a big group so luckily was able to try a lot of dishes. So many flavours and good spice, lovely cocktails, amazing staff and fun entertainment. Machan is now officially my favourite restaurant in Croydon and I will be back again and again!
Beautiful restaurant, lovely staff and INCREDIBLE food at great prices. One of my favourite restaurants in all of London. We went here for my partner’s birthday lunch with his family and not only was the food spectacular, but they went above and beyond to accommodate us having a cake, making frothy milk for my partner’s niece, etc. Would highly recommend to everyone!
So glad to have this restaurant in South Croydon. The food is incredible with an excellent varied menu. Spicy, flavoursome and authentic! The beautiful presentation and tableware also adds to the experience. Service is great and attentive and helpful.
