My partner and I had high expectations when dining at Aliyaa, especially after learning that they were featured in the Michelin Guide. While there were some highs, there were plenty of lows that left us feeling underwhelmed and quite disappointed.

We were excited to experience Aliyaa, but when we were ready to order, we were informed that they were only serving the Christmas set menu. This should have been communicated earlier, ideally when we made our reservation. Nonetheless, we decided to proceed with the Christmas set menu.

So, what stood out? High praise goes to the drinks, the shrimp and scallops with pappadum, and the grilled red snapper, which were definite highlights. For dessert, we tried the Sri Lankan love cake and the appam. The love cake was dense, sweet, and nutty, but unfortunately, the flavors felt somewhat confusing. The appam was good, but the way it was served puzzled us: we initially thought only one appam was provided, but then the second one arrived after we had finished the first. This staggered serving seemed unnecessary and a bit disorganized.

Overall, the dinner was okay, but the service definitely needs improvement. It was especially disappointing because my partner had been wanting to visit this place for a long time, and it didn’t live up to our expectations.

My absolute favorite place for apom, I think this is the best in town. The other main dishes were good but can be too spicy. Service is good. We also enjoyed the masala tea.

I’ve been coming here occasionally over the past six years, and the food has consistently been outstanding. Last week, I ordered most of the chef’s signature dishes with friends, and everything was excellent.

We celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary at Aliyaa, as we both adore Sri Lankan food.

For starters, we enjoyed their traditional rasam and Lankan Crab Cakes. I loved the rasam, while my husband couldn't get enough of the Crab Cakes.

For our main course, we ordered Mutton Paal Poriyal, Okra Tempered, Crab Meat Curry, Pol Roti, and String Hoppers. Their Crab Meat Curry and Mutton Paal Poriyal were the highlights—bursting with flavor and absolutely delicious.  Their Roti and String Hoppers were also freshly made.

For dessert, my husband had their Brandy Appam, while I opted for the Sweet Appam.  A delightful end to our fantastic dinner.
