New Asha Sri Lanka - Staten Island

Amazing experience. Treated us like family. As soon as we walked in the owner wanted to know our names and was very happy to meet us. I explained how excited I was to try different Sri Lankan foods, and she didn't even give us a menu, she just said don't worry, I'll make you a little bit of everything good. And everything was delicious. Black goat curry was out of this world. The Watalappan was amazing. And the mango Lassi was ridiculous. She actually didn't let us drink it until halfway into the meal, because she knew we would devour it and she didn't want out appetite getting ruined. Cannot wait to go back.

The owner was very nice and friendly. The food was delicious!!! I will be coming back again.

Great introductory place for Sri Lankan food, I was happy that they did hesitate in terms of spicing up their food. The owner of the place is supper friendly, and variety that comes into the lunch box is amazing. I had a lamb biriyani (only available on weekends), it was one of the best biriyani's I had in awhile, plus it comes with a few vegetables. The portion for 1 order can absolutely feed 2 person. I probably wouldn't finish it if I did not do a 20 mile bike ride prior to the meal.

Viji is a superstar owner who goes out of her way to ask your name, check in with you, and take the time to curate a banging meal. I've always come with a group and she always has daily specials to offer us (last time, it was crab in a next-level curry which we took home with us). She makes regulars and newcomers alike feel welcome in the space; truly can't recommend this place highly enough.

The owner is so kind and friendly! She’s been running the business for over 20 years. Her food is SO GOOD!! Thank you!
