Apey Kade Restaurant

If you are looking for authentic home made Sri Lankan food this is the place , it’s a small place so it’s difficult to accommodate large groups ,(most of the tables can only accommodate 2 or maximum 3), it qualifiers for a “ small hole in the wall gem” , also be patient if you are making large orders most of the food made to order and made fresh. While you are waiting it’s highly recommended to try their variety of ‘puffs’ and freshly squeezed lemonade Orange juice. The owners are very friendly polite and patiently explained me about every meal, highly recommended!!

If you've never had sri lanken food, you probably won't recognize anything on the menu. Don't let that deter you. Eat here anyway. I don't remember what I ordered, except the mango side, which blew my mind. All the food we got was excellent and I'll be back for sure, but that mango side was spicy and savory and sweet and indescribable. I want more

June 2024 Summer We’ve traveled from DC to find a good Sri Lankan Restaurant and we found that in LA! We went there twice in two days and ordered food to take back to DC!! I was so overwhelmed that I wanted to eat everything in the menu! Lamprais / Stirnghoppers / Sri Lankan Shorteats / Faluda/ Kottu The taste is very authentic and the service was excellent and very friendly and I would highly recommend it to everyone.

The food was soo good! I would say it has heavy indian influences and some mexican as well (maybe being in SoCal and ingredients available?). This is my first time having Sri Lankan food but I would definitely visit again. Ask for the spicy pastry, it was my favorite. If you're feeling adventurous, I would just tell the owner (I think this is run by the wife and husband) that you want to try everything and they will start bringing you food. It was incredible and my friend and I were stuffed to the brim. Total ended up being around $54 and if we ate like normal people, this could have fed 3 people comfortably for sure. Inside is fairly small, I would say maybe seats 10 but I went on a random weekday afternoon so it was pretty empty. Definitely giving the "hidden gems " vibes, I'm going to visit again next time I'm in the area.

First time trying Sri Lankan cuisine and we were very impressed! We love Indian and Nepali food so we wanted to try something else from South Asia - Apey Kade is the perfect place to introduce you to Sri Lankan food. Do not hesitate to do what we did when visiting: we told the man behind the counter (I assume he was the owner) that we’d never had Sri Lankan food before, and for him to give us his suggestions. He took care of us and gave us his picks for best items on the menu: chicken lamprais, beef string hoppers, hot tea and falooda! He was very kind and made our experience that much more enjoyable! All I can say is he knew what he was talking about…the food was awesome! So unique and different from other cuisines we’ve tried - I would highly recommend the lamprais or string hopper dishes! We would get them again!! And the rose falooda was excellent as well as the tea. Everything was a success. Give this wonderful local restaurant your business and prepare for a culinary experience you won’t soon forget!

The place was small but the food was excellent 👌. We traveled far just to have sri Lankan food and were not disappointed. The customer service was nice and welcoming, too
