This was my first time in here . Good vibes . Friendly service . You must hoppers combo meal which includes meat curry , egg hoppers and plain hoppers . One of the Sri Lankan fine dining restaurants in Auckland . Hope to go back soon.

We came by for a lateish dinner after playing futsal nearby since it was now of the few places open on a Tuesday night. It is located on Basin View Lane, just off Queens Road. The menu looked quite interesting and we ordered a few things to share. We did ask for mild since there were some people who weren't a fan of spicy food. Most of the items came out spicy. I thought the level was ok though. Out of all the items, the kottu rotti was the most interesting since I hadn't come across something like it before. It was almost like a noodle dish with the roti cut into strips with the meat and sauce all over. It was quite tasty and the spiciest of the lot. Their curries were also quite nice, particularly the potato curry with the flavoursome curry. The biriyani was a pleasant surprise since it came out with fried chicken and deep fried egg. The string hoppers were also quite interesting. We had the lamb curry and it also had a lentil curry with it, both tasty and a little spicy, I thought the food was quite flavoursome and the curries had different flavours which were nice. It was also spicy so probably not the best place for the spicey adverse.

The food was really yummy and so delicious. Chicken fried rice with chicken deviled was superb. Great taste. Creamy roast chicken kottu is beyond the expectation. That was so good. Everyone should try the food at The Walawwa, Auckland. Thank you staff.

Might not be ideal for people (like me) that are not good with spiciness. All the dishes tasted good though. I'd recommend the biryani, string hopper and yellow curry.

The food was well prepared and enjoyed some authentic Sri Lankan food after a very long time. Compliments to the chef and the staff. Loved the food we ordered.

In an unassuming location right across a Sri Lankan grocery store, but amazing food and the lady there had brilliant recommendations for our group who needed some suggestions to get the best experience. The kottu roti, fish curry and egg hoppers made for an unforgettable food experience that we could hardly walk away from. Already planning our next trip back there.

Tried their cheese roast Chicken kottu for the first time yesterday and it was delicious. For the record, It’s my new favourite! “Quality food, Big portions, Friendly staff” Highly Recommended!!!!

Specially needs to thank to the chef who prepares such mouth watering dishes and also nice smiling faces who caters the customers…Highly recommend this place for food lovers …. 🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰

Probably the most popular Sri Lankan restaurant in Auckland as well as in New Zealand. The menu consists of a decent collection of Sri Lankan food. The prices are reasonable. Have tried many dishes and they are very tasty. They provide both dine in and takeaway options. There is no dedicated parking for this restaurant and you may need to park kerbside. The road is not very busy so generally you can find a place to park without much trouble. Little down the hill there is a large public parking area on the other side of the road.
