The Kandyan

Food:
Egg appam - The famous mutta appam served with a shower of pepper all over; soft inner layer had a hint of sweet flavor to it. Went great with the chicken gravy ????

Devilled chicken - Their specialty chicken, which was almost dry tossed in authentic Lankan masala; the meat could've been cooked better, but the fragrance was awesome. It was sweet, sour yet very different ????

Batter fried prawns - Yet another seafood attempt and wasn't satisfied completely; the prawns were undercooked and had the stench smell to it; the batter was okay with red chillies to aid the spiciness but the meat was not okay ????

Chicken kothu idiyappam - Chopped and tossed string hoppers with veggies and chicken; this resembled a rice plate, and such was the level of presentation; mild spiced, very less meat but good enough ????

Pol roti with pol sambol - A coconut roti served with coconut condiment (thokku); both were dry, and the sambol was spicy good, both gelled well together ☺️

Sweet coconut milk - ridiculous that I paid that much for a normal coconut milk; no comments!! ????

Ambiance/Price:
A small place located on the first level with decent parking space. Their decor is good with sufficient seating space.
Service was decent and courteous, but they should have suggested dishes from their end, too.
Speaking of price, some dishes were worth the price, but some were ludicrous, inconsistent.

Why cook when you can get your comfort food delivered at your doorstep from Y Cook in Besant Nagar? Formerly known as Y Cook and presently as The Kandyan, this restaurant specialises in home style Sri Lankan food, though there are South and North Indian options on the menu as well. We decided to go Sri Lankan and ordered the Idiyappam made with red rice, Pol Roti, Pol Sambol and Seeni Sambol (both with Masi), Dhal Fry, the Prawn Sodhi and some Fried Shankara Fish on the side. The food was simple but excellent, exactly as home food ought to be! My only crib was that the dishes seemed overly priced for the quantity delivered.
