I have to admit that I have no knowledge of Sri Lankan food and that I would make the mistake of amalgamating Sri Lankan food with Indian food. So when I heard that not too far away from where I live is a Sri Lankan restaurant I decided to walk over there and order some take away. Elephant Walk is a small sized restaurant that is clean and spacious. What it slightly lacks in decoration to make it feel different from most London restaurants it makes it up with a friendly staff and incredibly tasty food. I ordered the following: * Devilled Lamb (£6.50) - A dry dish of lamb marinated in ginger, garlic and green chillies tossed and cooked with spices and capsicum & sesame. * Dry aubergine curry (£3.50) with tamarind base * Basmati rice (£2.25) The Devilled Lamb was incredible. Perfectly cooked and tender. It was hot but not too spiced. Associated with the dry aubergine curry and basmati rice was simply delicious. I understand why Charles Campion rated the Elephant Walk as "One of the three best new comers in London" and why it won the Cobra Good Curry Award as the best Sri Lankan Restaurant in the UK. As you can see from the prices above they're already very competitively priced but they also have a 50% discount on selected days during the week. I also understand that they have a function room downstairs which can be used for large groups dinning out or for parties. If you live in the North West I strongly encourage you to try this restaurant, not just for the great food they serve there but also to learn about Sri Lankan cuisine.
