   Staff were very friendly and nice. Food was good overall. The roti bread was really hard and bad though in my opinion. Overall experience is good, but it was fairly expensive especially with 15% PH surcharge.

   Outstanding meal. Not a single thing I wouldn’t order again. Each dish was unique and full flavoured.

   The Sri Lankan dinner was fantastic and the customer service was excellent. For Valentine’s Day they gave each table a red rose. Our meal took a while to come out but they gave us complementary papadums and homemade chutney while we waited. Can’t wait to go back and try their lunch and breakfast menu.

   Gia is a new Sri Lankan restaurant that runs as a café by day and a Sri Lankan restaurant in the evenings. Friendly but slow and at times inattentive service but this reflects a new and inexperienced team. Roti was not typical but instead a stiff savoury biscuit like food. I loved the mackerel curry and the food presentation but would like to see some child-friendly options and food to arrive faster.

   This was our first meal at Gia cafe and the entire experience was seamless. For me as a diagnosed coeliac it was wonderful to learn that nearly every dish is gluten free though it is not stated as such on the menu. The attentive waiter indicated the few dishes that contained gluten which included the naan bread. We ordered the hot butter Hawkesbury calamari entrée to share, then for mains ordered the black pork curry, mushroom curry, samba rice plus the eggplant moju side dish. It was all simply delicious, fresh ingredients full of subtle flavours and as requested not too spicy. We felt completely and happily satiated after the mains and thus gave dessert a miss this time round but left thinking a return visit would be organised in the near future and dessert would be considered in the mix.
