The restaurant offers traditional Sri Lankan dishes like biryani, a rice dish with saffron, cashew nuts, herbs and raisins, or hoppers, a bowl-shaped crispy pancake that can be served sweet or savory.

"Proudly serving traditional Sri Lankan and American cuisine," the diner states on Facebook.

While the eatery does offer American food, what makes this place truly special is its Sri Lankan buffet.

"Fridays are buffet night, each dish was amazing," Randie Jaffe said on Facebook. "You must try this place!"

I've personally been to the diner for a Friday evening Sri Lankan buffet many times and loved it every time. I highly recommend the deviled pork or deviled chicken and hoppers.
