Aliyaa Island Restaurant & Bar - for a unique taste of Sri Lanka


ALiYaa means – “elephant” in Singhalese, a pretty decent restaurant situated in Bukit Damansara , offers quite an impressive array of food & drinks.mistaken. Food prices are  reasonable enough to not burn a terrible hole in your pocket, & yet allow you to enjoy your well-prepared Sri Lankan food.

For appetizer, we had the fish cutlet and potatoes and peas cutlet, which were fairly good.

Mutton Paal Poriyal is served with rice, gravy, green beans and seeni sambal. The mutton gravy was really good, and the seeni sambal, which tasted rather unique,was combination of grated coconut, carrots and some herbs.


Lumprais is rice with deviled dish of choice - mutton, fried egg with roasted cashews nut and vege, and mixed and oven baked.  We did enjoy this dish very much, as it was all mixed up, sort of a version of fried rice but mushier.

Aliyaa Puttu comes with potato sambal, pol sambal, vegetables and a curry of your choice, where I choose fish curry. Interesting combination, because we normally have our "puttu" with cooconut and brown sugar.


Sweet appam served with milk and gula melaka was the best dish of the day ! Yummy....Appam served with creamy coconut milk, soft in the middle, and crispy on the side...yummm...yummm.
 

On average the dishes were good, a tad spicy but GOOD! And this is evident by the different races of diners you will find in the packed restaurant.
