I have been to this place 2x and always had fantastic experience. The foods were always made fresh and so delicious and healthy. The first glance when I tried Srilankan food from this place was the taste was similar to what I used to have in Indonesia (my home country). Maybe because we use the similarity of ingredients.
Alwis the owner is also a humble and kind person. He asked for feedback but no, we don't have any specific feedback for the deliciousness we had. It was just because the weather outside was cold so everything we had that time were getting cold quickly (maybe because I sat near the door too!)
But after all, I really enjoyed it. Thanks Alwis for nice hospitality to us and your humble smile. You are really have love and passion to your business which make a good inspirations for everyone.
Alwis and his team catered our wedding! It was the best wedding feast ever, more than a month later I still have guests telling me how yum the food was!! Everyone especially loved the appa and mutton curry �
Thank you for being so kind and accomodating you made our wedding extra special ��
Finally ticked this one off the list. There was a variety of flavors in my main dish but the flavors weren't strong, I was expecting curry strength so was surprised when it was much more subtle. The boss recommended coconut and sugar dessert that I recommend, we ended up ordering another one.

Cheap and surprisingly tasty. First time trying the sri lanka food. We ordered a couple of dishes, such as masala dosa, egg and cheese appa, and the lumprice. All tasted great. We will definitely gonna be back for more. Service was great too.
Staff were so incredibly polite and friendly, the place felt cosy and inviting, and the food was absolutely sensational. You get a lot for your money and the taste is just divine.
Great food and at good prices. Didnt realise how big the portions were. The ambience inside makes you feel like you're in Sri Lanka. Would definitely be coming back for more. Service was a little slow but not a major issue.
This is a nice place with delicious Sri Lankan food.
The staff is efficient and friendly too.
A small and nicely decorated place. Great for a group of 4 people max.
The dishes is good for sharing too ...if u like to try a variety. I try the sri lankan signature drink and its really nice...on a much sweeter side. (Not for everyone)
This place is the best. I’m horrified I’ve only just found it. The food is incredible. Flavours are so vibrant and tasty. The staff are so friendly and helpful. The food came out really fast. Very tiny little place but so busy. I plan on working through the entire menu. Thank you for the beautiful food
Absolutely love the food here. Among our favourite is the chicken curry, lamb curry, dahl curry, cabbage vege, lensu roti and pol roti. The seafood curries are also tasty if you like seafood. Favourite sweet /dessert item is the kiri appa, it’s delicious

Exploring Sri Lankan cuisine we reached Sandringham area & spotted this cozy 7 Siri restaurant. We were a bit late for lunch & wondered where we may have some lunch. The owner was very warm accomodating. He welcomed us & we saw a wide variety of veg & non veg dishes for lunch & were a bit lost as to what to go for. He guided us with excellent suggestions. We chose the prawn curry with Roomali Roti. To start we chose to share Lump Rice. It turned out to be an excellent choice with such a good variety of rice chicken meat & veges all bundled into a compact banana leaf parcel. Certainly recommend to anyone who has not tried SL cuisine before. The Prawn Curry with Paper thin roti was a delightfully spicy curry with the flavors of coconut creme & choicest spices. Suggest rice with the curry, it is a natural combo. We were curious to know what the Appa pancake was like. So we chose the sweet version as a dessert & were rewarded with a uniquely memorable flavor of sweet coconut jaggery & rice flour. Zero oil! Loved the unique hemispherical pans he prepared the Appas in. Most down to earth, natural ingredients only homestyle food. The owners cum Chefs follow a strict code of food ethics handed down to them by their elders. There is a great story behind the name of the restaurant. We were quite fortunate to have met the owner & learnt so much about 7 Siri & Sri Lankan cuisine & customs & traditions. A very enjoyable afternoon filled with great results from our exploration of a new & enjoyable gem of a restaurant with great & unique original taste of Sri Lankan food. Last but not the least, do first enjoy their unique herbal teas before the meal. Theres a lot to be learnt from eating this very healthy style of food. I learnt they also have special items like vegan & Gluten free, etc. All in all a most recommended place for both lunch as well as dinner. The menu offers a great variety of veg & non veg items. It also gives you the satisfaction of a great meal & yet leaves you yearning to come back for newer variations from the menu once again. I for one am positively returning to relish a few more new items. Do book in advance as it can be quite full in the evenings. Enjoy.
Tried the vegetarian Idiyappam Kotthu and Vegetarian kotthu rotti. Very good taste. Good service. Good location. Just felt that quantity was slightly less for the price paid. Overall a must eat.
Lovely owner/chef. Explained well. My friend had the roti and lamb curry, I had the fried rice. Put together my 85 yo friend really enjoyed her meal. She had a coconut something for dessert which she really enjoyed as well. parking a problem on a Friday even with a handicapped pass. Tavelled over an hour to get here but well worth it.
We ordered the masala chai jug which was amazing and perfectly sweetened to taste alongside that we had home made spring rolls and curry puffs which were top of the line!
The lump rice was full of flavour and so tasty and we could barely finish the street food rice which we will gladly eat tomorrow for lunch!
Top spot and a true authentic Sri Lankan dining experience.

My first time at 7 SIRI Taste of Sri Lanka! Such an excellent restaurant with all amazing decorations. Service was great. I ordered biriyani with lamb, it was deep flavor spicy rice with two kinds of special sauces. I have seen lots of people ordered deviled fried rice, can’t wait to try it next time!
Cheap and surprisingly tasty. First time trying the sri lanka food. We ordered a couple of dishes, such as masala dosa, egg and cheese appa, and the lumprice. All tasted great. We will definitely gonna be back for more. Service was great too.
Very tasty authentic food in a small rustic restaurant in Sandringham main street. Very helpful friendly manager-chef. $15-18 for a main and $25+ seafood main. We enjoyed our experience.
Cute, cozy home restaurant. Owner is very kind and cheerful, really cares about customers. Food is delicious! I’m definitely coming back! Vegan friendly :)
Great food and service with a smile. Authentic feel to the place. Loads of options for different dietary requirements (gluten free, vegan etc).
I couldn’t decide what to pick from the menu as everything looks so delicious. So I went for this chicken “wrap” (sorry i forgot the name) with curry soup a side and I didn’t regretted. It was really good.
Very nice and authentic Sri Lankan food I have ever tried in Sandringham road
Must try this restaurant Taste of Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
The first thing you’ll be greeting by are the wonderful aromas of homemade cooking. Being my first time trying Sri Lankan food, I was left very satisfied with my Lumprice and Roti (coconut!).
Service was lovely and it is a generally cozy spot.
Good food and awesome staff. Don't miss the appam.
