Decent Fish Ambul Thiyal — nothing more, nothing less

Fish Ambul Thiyal at this place was fine. The warming with cinnamon flavour was there but not distinguished. coconut scraped fresh was present in the right quantities but without the care that makes the difference. You can taste when something is being made to a formula.

Maldive fish is a uniquely Sri Lankan ingredient with no close equivalent elsewhere. The a Jaffna Tamil restaurant setting was generic rather than immersive. ginger beer was offered but not explained. If you're in the area and want Fish Ambul Thiyal it'll do. If you're going out of your way, look elsewhere.
