I ordered food from "Sri Lankan Street Food and Cafe", and it was really tasty. Everything was fresh, full of flavor, and nicely packed. The yellow rice was soft and smelled good. I loved the fried fish and vadai. The beef curry was soft and spicy, and the dhal curry was creamy and delicious. The eggplant moju was full of flavor, and the salad with pineapple and cucumber was fresh and crunchy. The food reminded me of real home cooked Sri Lankan meals. I was very happy with my order and will definitely order again. If you like Sri Lankan food, you should try this place!

5 Stars - A Must-Try Sri Lankan Dessert..✨✨✨✨✨ If you’re looking for the best watalappam in town, look no further than Srilankan Street Food.I recently tried their homemade Sri Lankan watalappam, and it was absolutely delicious—rich, creamy, and perfectly spiced. You can truly taste the authentic flavors of Sri Lanka in every bite. The texture was smooth, with just the right amount of sweetness, and the chopped cashews on top added a lovely crunch. It’s clear they use high-quality ingredients and traditional recipes. Highly recommend this hidden gem for anyone craving authentic Sri Lankan desserts. Excellent customer service, and the packaging was neat and hygienic. I’ll definitely be back for more! Best watalappam in the UK.

absolutely loved my visit to Sri Lankan Street Food & Café. The food is bursting with flavour — the chicken curry and egg hopper were both outstanding. What makes it even better is the warmth of the family running it. They make you feel like a guest in their home. Great prices, big portions, and proper authentic food. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The best Sri Lankan food I’ve had outside of Sri Lanka and on par with the food there. I ordered the chicken kottu and egg hoppers and even got given some of their special of the day which was a biryani to try, they were all amazing! Looking forward to coming back soon to eventually try everything on their menu! Big portion sizes at very affordable prices and can see them making it all fresh to order.

Great place. If you are looking for authentic sri Lankan food. Then look no further my family and I loved the food. No complaints here. Definitely recommend this place. It's a small family run place, so you need to have patience, but trust me, it's worth it.

What a fantastic little find in the heart of Coventry! Sri Lankan Street Food & Café serves some of the most authentic and flavour-packed food I’ve had in a long time. I ordered the mutton koththu and some vegetable rolls, and both were incredible — full of spice, but perfectly balanced so the flavours really shine. The food tasted freshly made, and the portions were more than generous. The café itself is small but very welcoming, and the atmosphere feels homely. You can tell the food is cooked with love — it’s like getting a proper home-cooked meal without having to travel all the way to Sri Lanka. On top of that, the prices are really fair, and the service was spot on — friendly, warm, and genuine.

If you're seeking an authentic Sri Lankan culinary experience, look no further than Sri Lankan Street Food & Cafe. This hidden gem in Coventry offers a remarkable journey through the rich and diverse flavors of Sri Lanka. **Food: 5/5** The menu is a tantalizing array of Sri Lankan staples that are hard to find anywhere else in Coventry. Highlights include the Kottu, a flavorful stir-fry of chopped roti, vegetables, and your choice of meat, bursting with spices and textures that dance on your palate. The fried rice and biryani are equally exceptional, each dish perfectly cooked and seasoned, delivering robust flavors that transport you straight to the streets of Colombo. A standout feature is the selection of hoppers. The egg hoppers, with their crispy edges and soft centers cradling a perfectly cooked egg, are a must-try. The milk hoppers, slightly sweet with a hint of coconut, provide a unique and delightful contrast to the savory dishes. **Service: 5/5** The service at Sri Lankan Street Food & Cafe is impeccable. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always ready to offer recommendations if you're new to Sri Lankan cuisine. Their passion for their food and culture shines through, enhancing the overall dining experience. **Overall Experience: 5/5** Sri Lankan Street Food & Cafe is a culinary treasure in Coventry. Whether you're a fan of Sri Lankan cuisine or trying it for the first time, this restaurant promises an unforgettable dining experience. The combination of authentic flavors, outstanding service, and a charming atmosphere makes it a top choice for food lovers. Don't miss the chance to indulge in their unique and delicious offerings!

We recently hired Srilankan street food for a live station food service at a birthday party, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The setup was good, the staff were professional and friendly, and most importantly—the food was absolutely delicious. Guests were treated to freshly prepared food right in front of them, which added a fun, interactive element to the celebration. Everything was well-organized, hygienic, and ran smoothly throughout the event. The variety offered catered to all tastes, and we received so many compliments from our guests. Thank you to Srilankan street food for making the occasion even more special. Highly recommended for anyone looking to elevate their event with quality food and service!

I recently visited Sri Lankan Street Food & Café in Coventry, and it honestly feels like discovering a hidden gem! From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed warmly by the family who run it, and you can immediately sense the passion they put into their cooking. I tried the chicken kottu roti and a hopper, and both were absolutely bursting with flavour — spicy, fresh, and authentic, just like proper home-cooked Sri Lankan food. The portions were generous, the prices very reasonable, and everything tasted made with care. The café itself is small and cosy, which actually adds to the charm. You can see the kitchen, smell the food cooking, and it really feels like you’re being served in someone’s home. What stood out the most was the hospitality. The staff are incredibly friendly and take time to explain the dishes, which makes the experience even better. I’ll definitely be back to try more of the menu — especially the biryani and short eats that everyone keeps recommending!

This place is a real hidden gem! The menu has so many authentic Sri Lankan dishes, from hoppers to kottu and biryani. I had the mutton curry with parotta and it was absolutely spot on — rich, spicy, and cooked to perfection. The café is small and cosy, but that makes it feel even more authentic. Easily one of the best food spots in Coventry.
