This is one of our favourite restaurants in Sydney. We used to dine at The Fold in Dulwich Hill, which was its previous incarnation run by the same family. The food is Sri Lankan with a western twist, and is clearly produced with great attention to detail. The service is first-class, the wine list has expanded and is full of interesting options, and the menu is designed to encourage sharing which broadens the flavour options. If you are just 2 or 3 people, book a seat at the counter and watch the dessert / hoppa chef at work, and make sure that you leave room for his divine desserts.

Simply awesome ❤️ Sat at the counter at front window. There is a beautiful dining area upstairs which was quite booked out. From the front of restaurant you think it’s only that small level & no one is there. But they are seated upstairs. Personally we like to sit at the bar or front window counter. Food & service were both awesome. Highly recommend.

Excellent service from start to finish and they were happy to refill rice and hoppers - a true hospitality. Staff are very helpful and warm, we really enjoyed each dish on their own merit. Good food and good hospitality. Highly recommend this place.
