My friends recommended Ceylonta, a Sri Lankan Halal restaurant, so we decided to try it out. We ordered the Roast Beef, which was the chef's favorite, Masala Dosa, and the Vegetarian Thali. To our delight, we were offered 2 complimentary Chai, which made our evening even better!The restaurant had a fantastic welcoming atmosphere, and the waiters were very helpful. The service was top-notch, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. We recommend giving Ceylonta a try and we definitely plan on visiting again in the future.

Our group of 8 had a blast at Ceylonta! The food was unlike any other Indian food I’ve had, distinctly Sri Lankan. Each dish was unique, the quality and freshness outstanding. The host was helpful and accommodating and made great suggestions for drinks. Many people have recommended Ceylonta, now I know why.

I've been there a number of times over the years. Great atmosphere, great music, excellent service. The co-owner often acts as your server. He is very amusing and can give you good suggestions. The food and drinks are great. In my latest visit, I had the deviled fish with rice and vegetarian samosa appetizer. The samosas are delicious with the little sauce they give you with them. The fish was great with the rice. I also had a non-alcoholic cocktail from their menu. Very tasty. Overall, it's a very solid place, and I would recommend it to anyone.

Ranjan is amazing host. We were in mood of having Dosa. We had ordered masala dosa and ghee dosa. Both were amazing. He suggested coconut sambhal. That was a unique offering. We had madras coffee at the end. Service was quick , ambience was pleasant. We plan on visiting again for other options.

friendly service but just like the reviews said, it took forever for them to take our order. the waitress even seated a table before getting back to us.food is okay. I’ve never had Sri Lankan food before, the roasted beef looks like indian food but tastes like sweet and sour pork ribs. Found it to be really heavy and oily.great atmosphere and drinks
They were friendly and good people, service was quick and prompt.The food was not authentic ! NO !I specifically asked them for drinks without sugar as I am on a no sugar diet, before placing any order. They should have pro-actively communicated that the dish I ordered would come out sweet (extremely sweet)Both the dishes I ordered was sweet and these dishes are not supposed to be sweet!!Any Sri-Lankan or South-Indian who reads this please give this review a thumbs-up if you agree "Beef roast is not supposed to be sweet"

It's my regular go-to place, honestly. I haven't found any other restaurants in Ottawa that consistently hold quality with good taste like this one. The staff are so amiable and welcoming, always satisfied with their well behavior service.The food tastes amazing. My favorites are the roasted beef, chicken Palandi, curried beef, fried rice, paratha, and cha, which has a refreshing smell. For those who don't eat beef, the deviled chicken is a great alternative to the roasted beef. Sharing 2 snaps of my last meal.We never have room for dessert because we always overeat, but next time, we'll surely try the faluda or golap jamun. I'm pretty sure that'll be good too, as they've never disappointed their customers when it comes about food.
