They mixed up our table booking but eventually everything got sorted. Good food but extremely spicy. Maybe put some marks on the menu to show how spicy they are. We had live music and some people were dancing which added some atmosphere. I liked it but may not be everyone's taste.

The first Sri Lankan restaurant I’ve ever been too! 🍗 Everything that we tried at Yaalu Yaalu in Haringey was full of flavour 🍴 I usually never order salmon in restaurants but I’m so glad I did - it was perfect with the rice 🙌🏼

December 2018: A fantastic little restaurant. Friendly, welcoming service, warm in the winter and spacious. The Sri Lankan menu has modern contemporary "twists" on traditional dishes but the authentic spices and flavours are clear and delicious. Tonight we enjoyed a chicken starter with salad, (superb presentation and just enough to wet the appetite) followed by wild boar (in dark Sri Lankan curry spices), dahl, coconut roti and coconut sambol. Just what we needed (we came straight from the gym!) We finished with a traditional Sri Lankan pudding: watalappam - gorgeous! Most of all, the restaurant had fast and attentive service and was packed with South Indians / Sri Lankans - that says it all (very fussy about authenticity!) Booking recommended but you could be lucky like us and walk in on a chance space. Really enjoyed and will be back to test another dish or two. Thanks Yaalu Yaalu.

On arrival, the staff were welcoming and the interior was an open, casual and tastefully decorated space. We were a party of 5 and all agreed that the starters were very good (I had the 'Namaste'- chilli paneer). Although the mains were tasty (and there was a good selection for vegetarians) I felt that my lotus root curry was very coconut-heavy (as was the fish curry), which is why I'm giving this restaurant 4/5 stars. In a nutshell- good service, tasty food but too heavy on the coconut in some dishes.

Great service, great food. Delicious! Feel lucky to have this so close to where we live.

Yet again another wonderful experience for our evening meal. My partner and I tried this restaurant for the first time over two years ago as we were searching for vegetarian/vegan options. We tried this restaurant and absolutely fell in love with it. The food is fantastic and we were lost for choice, also surprisingly reasonable for the constant quality of their food. The service and friendliness makes for a lovely welcoming atmosphere. The only shame about this restaurant is that it doesn't seem to be receiving the attention it should, as a vegetarian I love their options and delicious food. It's mine and my partners favourite little place now and a hidden gem.

We went on a Sunday evening, and it was very quiet. The service was excellent, the food arrived in good time and piping hot. All of the food was utterly delicious - every dish was subtly different but all were fantastic (the sambal was exquisite) Terrific value, as all of the main dishes come with rice and some bread - and the portion sizes were just right. Would definitely recommend, and will go again.

I live in Cardiff but have become a frequent visitor to the area and have visited the restaurant several times now. Food and service has always been second to none, and I would almost go as far as to say , for me, it's possibly one of the best curry I've ever eaten! Certainly the best goat curry I've had. I will return hear every time I'm working in the area. If your local and your not eating here you must be mad!
