Going to ABL is a family tradition. They are humble and haven't disappointed in 13 years. The prawn puri, palak paneer, and squid fry are unsurpassed!!! We now live in North East London but still happily do the 1:30-hour trek to the South West to indulge in our favourite Sri Lankan restaurant.

We always love our meals at BYOB favourite Apollo Banana Leaf -there are plenty of vegan options, and everything is always incredibly tasty! We recommend the moreish cashew pakoda, the massive onion bhajis, the fabulous vegetable kothu and the rich aubergine curry!

Eating in this small Sri Lankan restaurant was a joy for the tastebuds! We tried the vegetable and mutton kottu, the mutton rolls, bindi masala, to name a few. All the dishes were delicious, every mouthful a delight and the staff were helpful and friendly. This eatery is amazing value for money and the food is so very tasty, it would be very hard to beat for authentic Sri Lankan dishes.
