Ceylonta, which can be found in Ottawa, Ontario, is a restaurant that specializes in Sri Lankan and other specialty foods found in the South India region.

In addition, Ceylonta steams many of the main courses on the menu, which makes for healthier meals in general.While you're enjoying the relaxing atmosphere at Ceylonta, you can check out the wide variety on the menu.

Everything was excellent. My vodka negroni was one of the best. My wife's gluten-free options were addressed to her great satisfaction. The octopus was grilled to perfection and fabulous never-heard-of veggies. Would be proud to bring my Montreal frieds to Fauna anytime.

Excellent choices of tea and cozy with my niece. Checking this place out was such a treat for brunch. Bacon benedict was delicious and really liked how they played a bridgerton playlist in the background.

Food is great - always creative and delicious. Concern today as my dining guest mentioned a sensitivity to spinach. She realized her green salad was full of fresh spinach. She picked it out but it could have made her quite sick. Either server did not pass this along or kitchen forgot. Allergies are important to take note of - especially when server asks and gets a reply.
