Overall this is a resteraunt I keep turning to. Date night, group dinner, doesn’t matter this place blows my socks off. Listen to the server’s recommendations they’ll never steer you wrong. My partner is celiac and this is one of the few places in Ottawa we consistently trust. Ceylonta never disappoints.

Food was amazing! I’m Pakistani, though I’ve never had Sri Lankan food, had no idea what to expect. The food was so flavourful and it feels like you’re eating a home cooked meal. Pricing is fair for this premium level of food (not necessarily cheap, but it’s very high quality food).

Only complaints: food wasn’t spicy enough I thought (but this is a non issue, will just ask for more chili next time) and the server who served us was kind of talking too fast 😭.

Would still rate this place 5 stars overall though! Come with your friends and loved ones!

Definitely recommend!!

Ceylonta might just be my favorite restaurant in Ottawa for a special night out.

Every item I’ve tried from both the food and drink menu has been phenomenal. Incredible flavors and great kind service, seeing the staff is like seeing friends.

The food is mostly on the hotter side so if you prefer mild food it might not be the place for you, but I love it. The coconut sambal might be the most interesting and delicious flavors I’ve ever tried, it’s heaven (appetizer) and the cocktails are beautifully crafted.

The staff are hardworking and kind people.

Excellent parottas and fresh sambol. Ranjan also sent over some nice coconut milk gravies and a simple yet flavorful cauliflower mash. I’m definitely going to be back to try more of their fare!
