The staff is attentive and the food has decent flavour but the very small portions and high price doesn’t justify it. It’s like you’re ordering a sample size. I don’t understand the high reviews at all. It’s feels overhyped. Take your money somewhere else.

This restaurant is the best. I went there and got a chicken biryani and butter chicken today. They were so damn good! ??? And the sri lankan roast paan was the same taste and look what we buy in sri lanka. I can highly recommend this restaurant. Looking forward to go to the cafe by Dhruvees as well. Just one recommendation - please try adding kottu to your menu ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Dhruvees was amazing! We had heard good things from friends but got to experience it for ourselves for dinner tonight. The menu had Indian, Sri Lankan, and Indonesian dishes across the menu, and little flags on the menu to let you know which country each dish was from. The food was presented beautifully, was so flavorful, delicious, and not oily. The service was great and had a peaceful overall ambience. Would definitely come back!Vegetarian options: Lots of delicious vegetarian options were available. Would definitely suggest the vegetable pulao, the paneer butter masala, the eggplant moju, and spinach and lentil dishes. The Malabar paratha is delicious and goes really well with the paneer masala.

Love this place. I have gone multiple times for their lunch buffet, and I recommend it to everyone. It is NOT like a franchise buffet restaurant. The selection is smaller, but well curated (and had different mains each of my visits), and has a much more home-cooked feel. I mean this in the most complimentary way. I'm also obsessed with the little complimentary cups of hot soup they serve you, in tiny earthenware pots. The prices are reasonable and the staff is so conscientious and friendly!! Their mango lassi is also so good. My friend took a single sip of mine, and then ordered another one hahaI have also tried the oven roasted Korean Fried Chicken in Seoul Station, which is the same restaurant (just different menu). Similar to Dhurvees' food, it's got a home cooked feel but is still really tasty and well made. If you want authentic KFC you should go elsewhere, but the chicken here is an amazing healthier option with less grease and just as much flavour.
Tired Dhrurvees for the first time tonight and it didn't disappoint! The food was tasty and service was friendly.They offer a number of Southern Indian and Sri Lankan dishes that aren't as common on a lot of menus around town, with delicious hot sauce on the side to adjust to your palate.

Love this place, amazing and very fresh food, super friendly staff and lots of vegetarian options. The Sri Lankan cuisine is very authentic and everything was filling yet easy on the stomach (not too oily or heavy). Definitely recommend stopping by here!

just a wonderful evening with attuned knowledgeable staff serving delicious food..it really was one of the best restaurant experiences I have had in the past few years. It was a saturday evening and not too busy..nor too noisy. Comparisons are invidious but just across the street from the louder costlier Frasers! Alex MacKenzie
Best prawn Byriani I have ever tasted. The buffet is really tasty as well with quite a lot of selection. Great value and amazing food.
