Absolutely Incredible Sri Lankan Food! Sambal Express Diner in Harrow is hands down one of the best spots for authentic Sri Lankan cuisine! The flavors are bold, the portions are generous, and every dish is cooked to perfection. Big shoutout to my absolute favorites—the Elumbu Rasam as a starter is a must-try, packed with rich, comforting spice. The Lamprais and Dum Biryani on a Sunday are next-level delicious, and don’t even get me started on the Devil Prawn Starters—spicy, flavorful, and just the right kick! And the curries? Oh my god!!! Every single one is packed with deep, aromatic flavors that make you want to keep eating. I visited it too many times I cannot stop visiting this restaurant and I live an hour away! I love it all, and just thinking about it makes me hungry! If you’re craving proper Sri Lankan food, this is the place to be. Highly recommend! Shoutout to all the staff including Thamizhkalvi! :)

The restaurant's food is deliciously enjoyed by us, especially the lamprise. Gowri Akka deserves special thanks for her excellent service.
