Ceylonta - Ottawa, Ontario

Hi everyone, I had one of the best experience in Canada with Ceylonta. To summarize further; I was travelling from Toronto to Quebec thru Via Rail. I had layover of 3hrs between two train and was looking for Halal Restaurant for lunch, I came across Ceylonta and went thru the reviews ... which all had the praise. Had most if the reviews for Devilled Chk. So I decided to try this place. Upon arrival, I met the lady and asked for the suggestion. She called upon the Chef and the Owner Mr. Ranjan, truly a gem person. I asked him about Devilled Chk which was their speciality and he suggest for Beef Roast which was another of the Sp. So I went for Beef Roast instead. What surprising was the food came real quick as I told him about my layover, moreover he bought the portion of Ghee Roast and also Devilled Chk, as he wanted to me try both. Tbh, One of the Best Ghee Roast, I had in Canada. Devilled Chk. was a new dish for me as it had the Sri Lankan touch into it and was spicy, BR one the other hand was slightly very slighty sweet and spicy. Both the dishes had different flavours. Had these with the Paratha, cute little hot ones. He suggested me for the Special Hibiscus Juice which was truly refreshing and a new drink for me. As I was finishing, he bought Chai, which was on the house! …. For the closure, I would say its the hospitality which matter the most as restaurant is an hospitality industry. You offer the best food, but the way you treat you customer adds stars over it. So this was my best experience with a restaurant ane I definetely recommend CEYLONTA. Its Halal. Do meet Mr. Ranjan when you visit there, super nice guy. Read more

VERY Friendly, knowledgable, and hospitable staff All dishes were nut free Slightly can get expensive to dine in for 2. They insisted on a spread of different dishes, which were average in terms of indian cuisine. It is delicious and spicy, so be careful All in all, it was a very enjoyable experience.

My friends recommended Ceylonta, a Sri Lankan Halal restaurant, so we decided to try it out. We ordered the Roast Beef, which was the chef's favorite, Masala Dosa, and the Vegetarian Thali. To our delight, we were offered 2 complimentary Chai, which made our evening even better! The restaurant had a ... fantastic welcoming atmosphere, and the waiters were very helpful. The service was top-notch, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. We recommend giving Ceylonta a try and we definitely plan on visiting again in the future. Read more

Delicious authentic Sri Lanken food (according to native Sri Lankens). Good service. Price is what you would expect being located in downtown Ottawa.

The food here was excellent. We just went with the host's recommendations - and this turned out to be a wise decision. And I do say host, not server - he went above and beyond to be accommodating and informative. This is probably not the restaurant to visit if you want ... to lose weight. Not because the food is fattening or anything - simply because you won't want to stop eating. Read more
