"A small, moody spot on Rupert Street, Paradise serves Sri Lankan small plates with exciting twists. The menu here changes daily, which means a meal can either start with something like a breadfruit vadai doughnut, or an equally delicious koffman potato pastry—just know that whatever's on the menu, you’re in good hands. They’re doing some great things with fish too, so order anything that comes in the coastal-style red curry sauce and don’t forget a paratha roti. It’s predominantly bar seating, with only a couple of booths for small groups and a single table at the back for bigger groups. " - Rianne Shlebak, Jake Oliver, Heidi Lauth Beasley
