Virundhu

Amazing restaurant. Food was beautifully spiced and tasty. Just be careful though. Medium is still quite hot. Interesting range of accompaniments. Welcoming family atmosphere. Attentive and friendly service. Well worth a visit.

One of my favourite restaurants I went to dine. From the moment we went in the atmosphere was so good. The service was top class. Feel like home. The flavour of the food was soo good. Would definitely come again and again. Special mention to Sam. His service was outstanding and look after guests very well. Well done to Virundhu.

We came across the restaurant by chance as we were driving in the area. I was totally blown away by the quality and taste of the food. I love the variety of dishes that are offered here. I will definitely be coming back more often. I especially love their banana leaf rice. I will have to come back to try more of their dishes.

We had an amazing experience at Virundhu! The food was absolutely incredible — rich in flavor, comforting, and truly reminiscent of home-cooked meals. It didn’t feel like typical restaurant food at all; instead, it had that authentic, homemade touch that’s hard to come by. One thing that really stood out was the quality of the ingredients. It’s great to know that they don’t use anything frozen — everything is made fresh, and you can absolutely taste the difference. The authenticity of Ceylon Tamil cuisine shines through in every dish. The restaurant is also spotlessly clean and hygienic — something we usually only see in 5-star hotels. It’s clear that they take pride in maintaining a high standard not just with food, but the overall dining environment as well. A big shout-out to Sam, who looked after us with such warmth and friendliness. His hospitality made the experience even more memorable. The ambiance of the place is lovely — welcoming and relaxed, perfect for enjoying a great meal. From food to service, everything was top notch. A heartfelt thank you to the whole team at Virundhu for providing such a beautiful experience with exceptional quality. We’ll definitely be back!

As someone who has incredible Sri Lankan food at home with their mum being a great cook, this was a once in a life time experience. Absolutely the most authentic place in London! Truly brings the taste of home cooked food to your table. The virundu being the dish the resturant is named after, makes absolute sense, the food and flavours were exceptional! Would highly recommend.

Such a beautiful restaurant! Gorgeous setting and interior! The food was incredible and really authentic Sri Lankan, caters really well for vegan and gluten free. Would 1000% recommend! Super friendly staff too :) thank you!

I had an amazing time celebrating my birthday at Virundhu! The staff were incredibly friendly and made the experience so special. The food was absolutely delicious — every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great food and warm hospitality. Can’t wait to visit again! 🎉🍽️

Fantastic food and fantastic service from start to finish. The staff were incredibly welcoming, making us feel comfortable as soon as we arrived. The atmosphere was excellent—warm, relaxed, and perfect for enjoying a great meal. Everything we tried was delicious, and the overall experience was outstanding. We will definitely be coming again!

Food that tastes fresh as they proudly eliminate any use of artificial taste enhancer MSG in their food. It is easy to appreciate subtle flavours and fresh cooking. Ambience is as good as it can get considering that it's on a high street. Sparkling clean and service with a smile. I've never had Sri Lankan Tamil food before, but this is sure to be one of my regulars as it is also vegetarian and vegan friendly.

On the Eastcoate high street. First time eating Sri Lankan food. Empty at weekday lunch time and was informed to sit at one of the smaller tables. Why not give us a larger table in your completely empty restaurant? I like that they give your own bottle of water. The chicken kothu was really good. Street food from the eastern part of the island if I read it correctly. Chopped up roti, chicken, egg, onions and more. Tastes better than it sounds. They need to serve this dish in a larger bowl as it falls out when taking food out. The potato curry tastes good, but it's supposed to be in a coconut curry sauce. Which however was not very creamy and more on the watery side. As if someone had diluted the coconut with water and oil. Also a rather small curry portion. Also tried the puttu, which was three flour rolls, brown and white, good for pouring curry or Sambar over. The music makes for a not so very intimate and relaxing dining experience. Fast beat and loud like a Sri Lankan rave party, although quite entertaining music. They have a seafood Thali for £15 for those willing to splurge at lunch.

This food was delicious. I would say that you can taste a lot of the toppings. The crust was light and flakey. I had the nutty pep with chicken and it was so good.

Absolutely lovely food and atmosphere. It was my first time having Sri Lankan food and it was delicious. The staff were super helpful explaining things and giving suggestions. The food was extremely flavourful, fresh, prepared and presented. Can't wait to go back again.

As far as Sri Lankan food goes, you can do no wrong with this place, especially in West London and the surrounding suburbs. Highly recommended!

We have been searching for a Sri Lankan restaurant ever since our favorite lost their chef. We had a prawn curry (Eral kulambu), a chicken kothu, an okra curry (Vendakkai Paal Curry), with steamed rice, and a few roti. We were especially impressed with the okra curry. The service was very nice and the decor is simple, crisp and clean.
