An excellent place to enjoy Sri Lankan dishes including famous Kottu (comes in chicken, cheese and beef as well), fried rice and many more short meals. Found the Kimbula bun ("crocodile bun") which is must try sugar coated bun originally found in Sri lanka.

This little gem is hidden away but is well known for its Sri Lankan delights. They also serve the classic Kiwi brekkie and full meals with great coffee. Open on the weekends too which is an added bonus plus lots of parking available. Very friendly service as always and staff are happy to chat whenever we drop in.

I go here for coffee every work day. The coffee is good- they use mojo and the alternative dairy co which is my favourite oat milk. The people here always greet me with the biggest smile they’re so friendly and lovely highly recommend!! they’re open 7 days until 8pm except Monday they close a little earlier.

This is a hesitant update to my previous comment. Please don't drop the excellent standard that maintained earlier. Latest buy a Fish with rice packet had a small piece of fish full of fish bones & the chicken rice packet was similar with small piece of chicken back bone. I hope this is one off bad day. Been in the B Leaf twice on within seven days for takeaway. Excellent food very reasonable prices. Ultra friendly staff. Do try it you won't be disappointed. Good selection of items blend of European and Asian (Sri Lankan) menu.A .

Wow. This is the kind of place you only hear about from friends. A hidden gem, with Cafe food on offer right until 8pm PLUS quality Sri Lankan food. I cannot recommend this place enough! Everything was presented well and tasted better than expected! Take the whole family with you because the prices are very reasonable and won't break the bank! Clean and modern atmosphere with outdoor seating.
