"The food is so good I loved it a lot and I order Lamb Biryani and when I tell you that's food is so tasty Thankyou for the chefffffffffff"
"Really disappointed with this biryani. The masala was way overpowering — completely drowned out any actual flavor of the rice or meat, just an overwhelming punch of spice with no balance. The meat itself was the bigger issue though — it had an off, stale smell that put me off eating more than a few bites. Definitely didn't taste fresh.
On top of that, this didn't look anything like a proper dum biryani. No visible layering, no signature aroma or texture you'd expect from something actually cooked on dum — just looked like regular masala rice mixed with meat. For the price, I expected far better quality and authenticity. Won't be ordering again."

"I used to love Chatorey’s food, and have recommended it to many others, but this time it was unbelievably disappointing. I usually order the same dishes, so the difference was very noticeable. The Barra Tandoori Chicken was undercooked, and I ended up having to finish cooking it myself in the oven.I’m not sure if the chef has changed, but the Afgani Chicken Roll wasn’t prepared in the usual Afghani style at all and definitely not worth 29 bucks."

"The Chefs Special Fried Rice is just glorious! The spicy-ness and that weirdly authentic Sri Lankan-ness really comes through! Hands down best Sri Lankan fried rice spot.
I wish the curries were a tad bit more authentic too. They are a bit bland and most of the time "a hit or miss". But the fried rice really gives that hungry Sri Lankan a good belly whop!
Also as a typical Lankan with a love for "more rice" the extra rice option is just oh so fortunate."

"Vegetable Lamprais was absolutely delicious: tumeric rice perfectly cooked, diverse fresh vegetables, yummy chickpeas, excellent usage of spices & good serving size. Hard-boiled egg was slightly rubbery. It had been boiled longer than necessary. I really appreciated that meal came in cardboard container lined with silver-foil. But, it was wrapped in plastic-wrap. Please consider wrapping in grease-proof paper. Rottie Bread was excellent & generous serving. Mixed Pickle was fine, but consider an enviro-friendly container, rather than plastic, as there are numerous cost-efficient & enviro-friendly alternatives on the market. Ginger Tea was OK, but the ginger wasn't strong enough & I was surprised it came with milk. Chai Tea was curious & disappointing, it was clearly dirty, but tasted overwhelmingly of carbonated sarsparilla that had gone flat. I love sarsparilla, but did not love this chai. You forgot the Hot Milo. Non-plastic Cutlery was excellent. All in all, very pleased."

However, there were some issues with seasoning. The vadai was quite salty, while the rasam had no salt at all and tasted quite bland. A better balance in seasoning would really improve the overall taste of the meal.

"Vegetarian Dum Vegetarian Dum Biryani (Most Popular) was amazing so flavourful, only reason I didn't love I ordered the samosas thinking I was getting 2 for the price of one as an offer. Only received one"
"Very disappointing, both the idly and the accompaniments. The idly was very crumbly, and did not appear to have been made with proper idly rice. The sambar was unpleasant, nothing like a proper sambar should taste, the curry sauce was over spiced, and the chutney - which should have been a coconut chutney, was nothing of the sort."
