    Incredible food! Everything was delicious!I I am vegan and I was impressed by the choices. I had the Be-troot and the Cashew Curry while my companions had pork, chicken, prawns and cheese! Everything was outstanding. Plus lovely service. Highly recommended!

    My first time eating Sri Lankan food and it did not disappoint. We started with 2 delicious cocktails, the gin and cucumber one is amazing. We then had goat curry, pineapple curry, spicy prawns, beetroot and roti. It was all delicious, however the prawns were hard to eat as still in their shell and we weren’t offered wipes or a finger bowl. One unfortunate thing, we sadly weren’t able to leave a tip as they only take cash and neither of us had cash on us. We will definitely be back.

    Visited Coconut Island in Brighton and was blown away. The food was fresh, and full of flavour. The cocktails were amazing as was the Lion beer! Every member of staff was warm and welcoming, and the place had a brilliant atmosphere. Would highly recommend and will definitely be coming back.

    A really friendly restaurant with absolutely delicious food. The person who served us (I think was called Naveem?) Was really lovely. We had never been before and he answered our questions very patiently! The food came out quickly but, as it was a busy Friday night, the service was slightly slow and there was no rush to get us out to get more people in. The music was quite loud and I had trouble hearing my friend opposite but that's such a nitpick. All in all, its been a while since I've really enjoyed eating out and I will definitely be back as there's more dishes I want to devour!

    Food was fantastic, really full of flavour, spices you could taste and enjoy, heat but not overpowering. Service exceptional, attentive without being intrusive. Knowledgeable and passionate about the find. Great decor, atmosphere and overall feel as well.

    Nice vibe but v small portions (call it small plates if you must!) Cashew curry delicious but basically a bag of cashews in a dish - couldn’t eat it all as who can eat that many cashews! Needs some veg to make it totally edible. Service really nice & friendly.
