Virundhu Street Kitchen

I really enjoyed the food here - great portion size, and lovely attentive staff- special thank you to Jessy ! Highly recommend the prawn/ chicken curry and paratha. Would definitely visit again.

It’s our first time to try food from Sri Lanka. And it’s really very good. From the Appetizer to dessert! Congratulations! We wish you more success. The restaurant had a lot of customers. I hope more people would try your food. We would definitely come back.

The food was exceptional. The staff was very welcoming and professional and the restaurant had a lovely ambience. Would highly recommend!

Went on a Friday. Wasn’t that busy. They do have street parking.Enjoyed the food. Devil chicken and coconut roti were awesome. Also recommend the mutton curry. The mutton rolls and vegetable roll were great as starters. Definitely recommend the place if you want authentic Sri Lankan food.

After a day of sari shopping we were famished and we were told that we must eat here and that we would not be disappointed. As it was an odd time we were lucky enough to have the restaurant to ourselves. It's a lovely atmosphere with a beautiful bar. Our server was very friendly and helpful giving us plenty of advice on what we should eat and making sure it would satisfy our spice levels. We started off with the masala mogo we wanted to order more starters but didn't want to get carried away. This was nice we also ordered coffee with condensed milk! Even though we have made it ourselves so many times it just tastes better when someone else makes it for you. Apart from having it in Sri Lanka made lovingly by my aunt which is the best I have had this is second I would say. For our mains, I had the crab curry and it was again such a high standard the columbu (gravy) was so good I didn't want to leave any behind. I also loved how they gave me cutlery to crack and scoop out the meat of the crab lot easier and quicker which i know is why lot of people are put off eating crab curry. My sister had the jaffna aatu elambu curry with veechu roti which she enjoyed very much it was not full bones so she had plenty of chewy meat to devour. My mum had the lamprais which she also enjoyed but she did say she has had better. And my dad had mutton biryani which he enjoyed thoroughly. Unfortunately we were too full to have dessert! It is pricey for a casual meal out our bill came up to about £102 but I would say the food is worth it. Seeing we live in Essex and this is not local to us we would definitely say it was a lovely experience and I would recommend it if you are in the area. I would love to go back and try out their banana leaf rice meal next time and more of the starter options and maybe for a cheeky coffee with condensed milk! It was even a perfect spot for me to photograph some calligraphy! Check out signedbyvidhya on Instagram or tiktok!
