Very hospitable and considerate proprietors. Menu offers a good range of food choices including some Sri Lankan speciality dishes. Visited again today with my 99 year-old mother-in-law.

New owners, Sri Lankan food along with traditional Scottish food. The spicy tomato, lentil and coconut soup was very good, definitely warms you up. Black pork toasty also very nice and filling. I would say don't go if you are in a hurry, but go to enjoy fresh made food.

Still the same great selection of favourites: rolls, toasties etc. With the addition of a few Sri Lankan dishes just to mix things up. Kottu Roti was excellent. Dogs welcomed. A few came and went while we sat, and all well behaved.
