Seaburry Restaurant

This was my first experience with Sri Lankan food, and I'm happy to report this was a great introduction to the cuisine! The interior is welcoming and the manager and staff were very friendly and made some recommendations for us. We got the Lamprise and savory sampler. Both were delicious, especially the calamari in the sampler, but if you're getting the Lamprise , I'd say dont get the sampler since there is considerable overlap in the fried items. I will definitely be returning to try other seafood on the menu!

This was the first Sri Lankan restaurant I visited in my life, and before that, I had never thought about what the cuisine of this country tasted like. When we arrived here, it was around 3pm. There were no other customers in the restaurant. We selected a few items from the menu. Although the taste was not very surprising, fortunately, there were no major problems either. It should be considered to be in line with expectations! The gentleman who served us was very conscientious, which deserves praise!

Excellent place with a wonderful vibe! The atmosphere was welcoming and perfect for families. My kids as well as the rest of my family thoroughly enjoyed every dish we tried. We had the rice and curry, koththu paratha, and butter chicken—each one was packed with flavor and absolutely delicious. The spices were well-balanced, and the portions were generous. Definitely a spot we’ll be returning to. Highly recommended!

was recommended this place by my Sri Lankan friend. I got to tell you it did not disappoint. The flavor is out of this world. Best service and hospitality by far from Rachitha. And the ambiance is very classy, artsy, elegant,cultural. I got the Lamprais, it was served on a leaf that I thought was pretty cool. All the flavors from the coconut cashews and curry is to die for, I got the lamb with it, super tender and delicious 🤤 everything on that plate was delicious. And to bring it down, I got the Srii Lankan iced coffee. Overall amazing experience. Will definitely be coming back with my friends.

This is a sri lankan restaurant with an extended menu including other non-sri Lankan dishes. It's a really nice addition to Westwood. The ambiance and decor is nice and the food is great. We were there close to closing time so the crowd had gone. We enjoyed a chili prawn pasta and garlic shrimp for appetizers. The portions and prices are fair. Service was also really good.

Great Sri Lankan food with a nice, cozy atmosphere. The restaurant has two sides—one with a bar for drinks and the other with dining tables. Perfect for groups too; just call ahead and they’ll arrange the tables for you. A great spot to enjoy a meal with friends or family.

Major shoutout to this wonderful place! If you’re looking for authentic Sri Lankan food, you’re in the right place. The people here are so warm and hospitable. I had an especially nice experience and must mention Lakmal’s wonderful service. I tried the Classic Kothu Paratha and it was amazing- reminded of flavors of home - definitely recommend trying it out!!

Absolutely incredible food! Seaburry Restaurant serves some of the best, most flavorful Sri Lankan dishes I’ve ever had. Every item on the table was cooked to perfection—from the vibrant rice and curries to the seafood platter. You can tell they put so much care into the food. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely hospitable—it made the whole experience even better. Can’t wait to go back and try more!

Newish restaurant in Westeood, with colorful decor. Not a lot of Sri Lankan restaurants, so I was excited to try it (also on InKind if you want a discount). For 2 of us, we ordered (had leftovers): - Kothu parotta with lamb (roti cut up pieces and cooked with egg, veggie, seasoning) - so good! Hard to go wrong with this, we added beef. - Dungenes crab with coconut curry $75 - the sauce on this was soooo good. I used it with the kothu parotta as well. They give you plastic bib and gloves, as well as the crab cracking/picking tool. Crab tasted fresh and was well cooked. Service was friendly, I saw they were also doing a brisk business for take out. Not too many people on a Sunday evening. Street parking. Probably better to come with a big group as they have a big menu, but I Would come back to try other dishes on the menu!

I finally made it to Seaburry and was not disappointed! The food was INCREDIBLE. The flavors were so complex and absolutely delicious. We ordered: Lankan Red Curry with lamb Lamprise with shrimp We asked for the food to be prepared with a low level of spice and it was perfect. Just the right amount of heat. (I usually order my food with a medium level of spice, but I had a feeling this place would have quite the kick.) The lamb was so tender and the curry flavor was so good. The roti was still hot and when dipped in the sauce, it was heaven. The Lamprise had shrimp that was grilled, tender and beautifully spiced. It came with a fish croquette, cashew curry (wow), caramelized onion, grilled eggplant, a seasoned hard boiled egg and the most delicious rice. I cannot wait to come back and try more dishes. Seaburry is a wonderful addition to Westwood restaurants!

This place transported me back to the south of Sri Lanka -- the vibe, the food and the hospitality. I had the lamprais which was authentically Sri Lankan and mint twist which was super fresh. I can't wait to see what they add to the bar menu.

I orders takeout with an Uber eats coupon. The portions were very generous, we ate for 3 days. I tried the seafood fried rice. The shrimp were huge, the calamari was plentiful and the flavor of the fried rice was great. The veggie spring rolls were crispy even after going through delivery. The salad with red fish had a really generous portion of smoked salmon and lots of avocado. We were a little confused with all the sauces we received. It seemed like the salad had two salad dressings? Not sure, but both were great on the salad!

We were excited to try Sri Lankan food but this was not noteworthy. The variety platter did give us a chance to try a few things but the meat was dry and a few dishes were overly spicy. We are a big fan of Indian Food and maybe came in with unrealistic expectations. There menu seemed a bit incomplete as they did not even have a drinks menu. The food was okay but the flavor profiles did not wow us. Very cooperative and friendly staff though.

Great flavors, presentation, and prices! I'm glad that we stopped at Seaburry restaurant. First off, I love the Sri Lankan decor and flare. The restaurant strikes a nice balance of elegance and hominess. But let's be real. Most of us will come here for the food. And the food delivers. Must get dishes? The paratha and lamprais. Both were delicious, authentic, and packed with various bold and fresh flavors. And then to top it all off, everything was well priced! None of the dishes will break the bank. This was my first time trying Sri Lankan food. I didn't know what I was missing. The Westside needed a delicious Sri Lankan spot!

This wonderful Sri Lankan restaurant was recommended by a foodie friend. If you love heat, this is your place! Our waiter was very helpful taking us through the menu and providing tips on spice level. (Even requesting "medium spice" left our mouths tingling). For those with dietary restrictions, he recommended calling ahead, as many of the sauces are already prepared--and hot! We ordered a couple of the specialties with shrimp (other proteins are available). With each came a platter of "sides" including mango chutney (the most popular), a coconut sambal, curried cashews, marinated beets and eggplant. For a cool down, we got an ice cream dessert but there are also several lassis that can put out five-alarm "fires.". The restaurant itself is cozy, colorful and comfortable--a quiet haven off busy Westwood Boulevard

The ambience and decor are lovely here. The menu is seafood-forward so not too many options for me, a vegetarian. But the pumpkin soup (soup du jour) was tasty! We parked at the Hammer Museum which has a flat all day rate that is reasonable and then had a 10 minute walk to the restaurant.

Amazing flavorful foods, drink and the service was outstanding OMG on decoration!! Just wonderful to experience Sri Lanka

We loved everything about this restaurant! The colorful chairs, walls and ceiling were so cheerful and set a nice tone as we entered. The staff was so pleasant and nice. Our waiter was from Sri Lanka and told us a lot about his country with such enthusiasm that we might have to take a trip there. All four of us loved every bite of our meal!!! So flavorful and tasty, and the presentations were beautiful. The non alcoholic drinks were very refreshing and went beautifully with the food. We honestly want to go back!

I came here with my friend (he is Sri Lankan) to try Sri Lankan food for the first time. It was phenomenal. Interior is very beautiful and chic, looks brand new and well designed. We ordered two appetizers and two entrees and shared and everything was fantastic. The dishes were so flavorful and fresh, calamari was absolutely delicious. One of the best meals I've had in a very long time. Met the owner and he gave us a free Sri Lankan ginger beer. Very reasonably priced and apparently also have a lunch buffet on weekends for around 20 bucks, which is a steal for LA. I will definitely be back.

This was my first experience with Sri Lankan food, and I'm happy to report this was a great introduction to the cuisine! The interior is welcoming and the manager and staff were very friendly and made some recommendations for us. We got the Lamprise and savory sampler. Both were delicious, especially the calamari in the sampler, but if you're getting the Lamprise , I'd say dont get the sampler since there is considerable overlap in the fried items. I will definitely be returning to try other seafood on the menu!

very interesting restaurant. we went on a weekend and they had live music....very loud music. we had to move over to the bar area just to hear ourselves. food was ok but served lukewarm to cool. i liked the place but with the cold food and very loud music would probably not be back. service was very attentive.

If you haven't been to SeaBurry yet, you're seriously missing out! I'll definitely be back, and I'm bringing even more friends next time!

Go once: Sure Go again: Unlikely My wife and I came to this restaurant on a whim. On the night we were there, the restaurant was empty. We were the only people in the restaurant being served, so that was a bit sad. That said, the food here was very good, but just a bit too spicy for both of us. People should be eating here though! We aren't super into spicy foods, so that's why I say it's unlikely we will come again. If the food was basically a lot less spicy, we'd probably be here relatively often. We enjoyed our dishes, we just didn't love how we felt afterwards! If you do like spicy food, this place is a great one to check out!

Excellent service, delicious and unique cuisine in a cozy environment, love it! Made me want to vacation in Sri Lanka.

Amazing place, highly recommend. Every food item we ordered was fantastic, the service was outstanding- loved our waitress. And the ambiance is so fun. Definitely bringing everyone I know here.

Great food - great service and nice remodel of this wonderful corner spot in Westwood. Red curry (don't get spicy unless you can handle it!) shrimp, salmon - all delicious. The pita style bread and rice that come with it compliment the food nicely. No liquor license yet but they have a bar set up waiting for it. Weekend brunch is next on my list.

Awesome food! Good service Wish they serve spirits! hope they get it soon! Great ambiance and will visit soon!

This place is one of the best restaurants in all of LA! I feel so blessed and lucky to have their delicious food. I have had the vegetable spring rolls, the creamy mushroom soup, the butter chicken, the fish croquettes, the hot butter calamari, and the Asian fusion lamb chops (which is the best). All of these dishes have been divine and I can't wait to try more! Seriously, such incredibly flavorful food. Definitely check this place out! Perfect ambiance and I bet the service is just as fire!!! I've only ever done takeout thus far because of my work hours, but the fact that this food is still just as amazing via ubereats says something!

I was recommended this place by my Sri Lankan friend. I got to tell you it did not disappoint. The flavor is out of this world. Best service and hospitality by far from Rachitha. And the ambiance is very classy, artsy, elegant,cultural. I got the Lamprais, it was served on a leaf that I thought was pretty cool. All the flavors from the coconut cashews and curry is to die for, I got the lamb with it, super tender and delicious everything on that plate was delicious. And to bring it down, I got the Srii Lankan iced coffee. Overall amazing experience. Will definitely be coming back with my friends.

Excellent food. High quality. The trout was large and cooked nicely. Vegetables were a little greasy. Ambiance was nice. Service was good. We went for our first time last weekend and are returning this weekend. Enough said.

Went here for the first time tonight, the manager and the staff were absolutely amazing; attentive and friendly. The food was very tasty and fresh and the restaurant has a cozy and warm ambiance; altogether a great experience!

my husband went here for a lunch special, he got the seafood combo and raved about how delicious it was, came w soup and dessert this is my first time eating sri lankan food decided to order from here for lunch today got milk rice & (chicken) curry and butter chicken, both were so delicious! the coconut flatbread had just the right amount of crisp and sweetness and soaked up the curry nicely, the butter chicken stew reminded me a lot of Vietnamese bo kho (minus beef and carrots) and had a nice mild spice to it! both dishes were hearty and very satisfying. I will definitely add this restaurant to my weekly rotations!

Great new restaurant, I had never tried sri lankan food before so didnt know what to expect but everything we had (shrimp, lamb chops, salmon) was extremely well seasoned and cooked. Will come back to try the curry dishes.

Everything was delicious but highlight og our meal was the Savory Sampler plate - fish croquettes, hot butter calamari, lightly fried and delicately flavored shrimp, and veggie spring rolls - outstanding flavors. Great ambience, attentive service. Highly recommended!

Delicious food and wonderful, attentive service. Highly recommend the sampler - best calamari I've had. Great location as well, definitely a bright spot on Westwood. Will be back for sure.

The rice with curry gives you like six different samples of Sri Lankan food, including what I think was stewed mango! It was fantastic. The beef was high quality. And I am absolutely stuffed for 20 bucks. The interior of the restaurant also is very cute. I'm looking forward to coming back.

Seaburry does a fantastic job bringing this Dutch Burgher classic to life. Served wrapped in a banana leaf, the moment you unwrap it, you're hit with an incredible aroma of spices and slow-cooked goodness.

Really enjoyed this new neighborhood restaurant! The food, service and environment are very good. Definitely gonna come back to try more dishes!

Nine of us went for dinner (we are Sri Lankan), the food was fresh and tasty, service was excellent, ambiance was perfect. We could not have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend.

We waited at the door for 20 mins with no one taking us in. They are understaffed as only 1 guy was serving tables. The plates they gave us were dirty and the table was rocking. The traditional curry was pretty good but the mixed seafood platter was awful. The pricing was expensive considering everything. Wouldn't recommend.

Just got back from a group lunch at Seaburry. What wonderful food! I've never had Sri Lankan food before, and it was delicious. The lunch special was a great value, quite tasty and very filling. Everyone at the table agreed that the food was very good and that we will go there again. Their computer system definitely needs work, but the waitress rolled with the punches and did a great job -- friendly, efficient and professional. Great experience overall!

the place is very nice and the food are not that pricy but the quality and taste are exceptional , very tasty and fresh from the grill there is a server name Mia that was very attentive and helpfull with the diners . Higihly recommended

Amazing environment and great service. The food came out fast and they have a great variety of traditional Sri Lankan dishes, as well as a few classics. I would definitely recommend it and I will definitely be coming back.

The best Sri Lankan food in LA! The menu has something for everyone. I loved their kottu. Super friendly staff and great decor. Can't wait to come back!

We tried this Sri Lankan restaurant while in Los Angeles and had a delightful experience. A must try for authentic Sri Lankan food. Awesome ambience and great food. Upscale restaurant at reasonable prices. Service was fast and great options to select from. They also have a daily lunch buffet available.

Great Food, great customer service. They are vey attentive.It is a very cozy place, nice and quiet.

Seaburry is a new addition to Westwood's culinary scene and one well worth exploring. The food is great, both Sri Lankan classics like kothu paratha and red & yellow curries, but also Sri Lankan flavors infused in more grilled and bar food. You can tell that there was also effort put into the vibe of the place with traditional decor and tables elegantly put together. I also met the chef Rachita who was very friendly and thoughtful. He told me that he is waiting on a permit to open up the bar next door and he will import arrack, a liquor I enjoyed while in Sri Lanka. I look forward to when that happens and hope that it's successful since it's so great to be able to enjoy Sri Lankan food here.

Very excited to have a Sri Lankan restaurant in the neighborhood! Just picked up takeout for lunch and the food is really delicious. Kottu paratha is a standout dish! Excited to come back and dine in the restaurant. It looks really great.

Super disappointed. Tried a little bit of everything. Ordered the chicken curry plate and the other mix plate with shrimp. It felt like the only thing freshly made was the grilled shrimp. The grilled veg was fine, the soup not good. The calamari was all oil and chili, no flavor but I have a headache from eating it. Everything is spicy. I thought it was just me, but the entire family agreed. The restaurant was a ghost town on Sunday afternoon. The tumeric rice was hard and old. Wanted to like this place so much since it's near my house but I won't be returning. Had $5 off since I ordered online, still spent over $70.

What a gem. We came for lunch and had two terrific dishes- Tom yum and shrimp, and mixed seafood. Both super tasty! The wait staff were incredibly kind and helpful (we had our two year old with us). The mango lassi is also so excellent - everyone loved it, two year old included. We will be back!

I was looking for somewhere different in Westwood for a lunch date, and I saw the other great reviews for Seaburry. It's in a very nice space next to Atari Sandwiches on Westwood Bvd. Inside decor is surprisingly upscale and pleasant. Also surprising is how few people were there for one of the better lunches I have had in LA. I had Lamprais, and my lunch partner had the mixed seafood. Both are nicedy presented and absolutely delicious and an absolute steal on the lunch menu and still a great deal on the dinner menu. I know most of the places in the vicinity and this is now my favorite spot. Can't wait to go back. Also I understand that they have a weekend buffet.

Incredible service, food, and ambiance! Thank you for a great experience trying Sri Lankan cuisine for the first time! It didn't disappoint!

Writing this review after my second visit to Seabury. There aren't many Sri Lankan restaurants in LA so, this was a gem to find. Food was delicious!! We had the rice and curry with lamb and also, the chicken Lamprais - both were great. The decor and ambiance was great and above all, the service was exceptional. Rachika the owner went above and beyond with his hospitality - which Sri Lankans are well known for. Highly recommended.

The food is prepared so well and is absolutely delicious! The service was impeccable. Nora was very friendly. The owner Rachita Jay is so very gracious! He was very kind and explained the history of all the different things in the restaurant. The ambiance feels very elegant.

Amazing food! Ordered the chicken curry plate and the Chef was so kind and included coconut roti with it. Chicken curry came with 4 other side curries and it was so clean and fresh. Will definitely order again.

Very impressed just as I entered. Decor was beautiful and great service. Food was delicious and soon the bar will be open. Very excited about this new restaurant.

Damn man I was so bummed. I was expecting this food to taste really good but I'm sure some of the other dishes they have might be better. The curry which I'm not huge on sweet foods. Thankfully this curry was not sweet. Thai curry i tend not to like because they add so much sugar on top of coconut milk for some strange reason. This curry, Sri Lankan curry you could kind of taste the coconut milk but thankfully it was not sugary . However, it was quite bland. It didn't have any type of flavor. And they only added shrimp. I don't get when places don't add vegetables. They just add meat and that's it and it just tastes plain and not enough. It tasted like shrimp with water, turmeric, and coconut milk, no seasoning. Maybe I may try their other dishes but I do not recommend getting their curries. Try their other dishes
