Amazing restaurant. Food was beautifully spiced and tasty. Just be careful though. Medium is still quite hot. Interesting range of accompaniments. Welcoming family atmosphere. Attentive and friendly service. Well worth a visit.
As someone who has incredible Sri Lankan food at home with their mum being a great cook, this was a once in a life time experience. Absolutely the most authentic place in London! Truly brings the taste of home cooked food to your table. The virundu being the dish the resturant is named after, makes absolute sense, the food and flavours were exceptional! Would highly recommend.
One of my favourite restaurants I went to dine. From the moment we went in the atmosphere was so good. The service was top class. Feel like home. The flavour of the food was soo good. Would definitely come again and again. Special mention to Sam. His service was outstanding and look after guests very well. Well done to Virundhu.
We came across the restaurant by chance as we were driving in the area. I was totally blown away by the quality and taste of the food. I love the variety of dishes that are offered here. I will definitely be coming back more often. I especially love their banana leaf rice. I will have to come back to try more of their dishes.
We had an amazing experience at Virundhu! The food was absolutely incredible — rich in flavor, comforting, and truly reminiscent of home-cooked meals. It didn’t feel like typical restaurant food at all; instead, it had that authentic, homemade touch that’s hard to come by. One thing that really stood out was the quality of the ingredients. It’s great to know that they don’t use anything frozen — everything is made fresh, and you can absolutely taste the difference. The authenticity of Ceylon Tamil cuisine shines through in every dish. The restaurant is also spotlessly clean and hygienic — something we usually only see in 5-star hotels. It’s clear that they take pride in maintaining a high standard not just with food, but the overall dining environment as well. A big shout-out to Sam, who looked after us with such warmth and friendliness. His hospitality made the experience even more memorable. The ambiance of the place is lovely — welcoming and relaxed, perfect for enjoying a great meal. From food to service, everything was top notch. A heartfelt thank you to the whole team at Virundhu for providing such a beautiful experience with exceptional quality. We’ll definitely be back!
After a day of sari shopping we were famished and we were told that we must eat here and that we would not be disappointed. As it was an odd time we were lucky enough to have the restaurant to ourselves. It's a lovely atmosphere with a beautiful bar. Our server was very friendly and helpful giving us plenty of advice on what we should eat and making sure it would satisfy our spice levels. We started off with the masala mogo we wanted to order more starters but didn't want to get carried away. This was nice we also ordered coffee with condensed milk! Even though we have made it ourselves so many times it just tastes better when someone else makes it for you. Apart from having it in Sri Lanka made lovingly by my aunt which is the best I have had this is second I would say. For our mains, I had the crab curry and it was again such a high standard the columbu (gravy) was so good I didn't want to leave any behind. I also loved how they gave me cutlery to crack and scoop out the meat of the crab lot easier and quicker which i know is why lot of people are put off eating crab curry. My sister had the jaffna aatu elambu curry with veechu roti which she enjoyed very much it was not full bones so she had plenty of chewy meat to devour. My mum had the lamprais which she also enjoyed but she did say she has had better. And my dad had mutton biryani which he enjoyed thoroughly. Unfortunately we were too full to have dessert! It is pricey for a casual meal out our bill came up to about £102 but I would say the food is worth it. Seeing we live in Essex and this is not local to us we would definitely say it was a lovely experience and I would recommend it if you are in the area. I would love to go back and try out their banana leaf rice meal next time and more of the starter options and maybe for a cheeky coffee with condensed milk! It was even a perfect spot for me to photograph some calligraphy! Check out signedbyvidhya on Instagram or tiktok!
Authentic Sri Lankan food served with a smile. Gives you a warm feeling of home cooked food, every dish is made from the heart and the customer service makes the food taste 10x better. Our waitress, gave us a 12/10 experience. This is my second visit, as I wanted to make sure my first experience, wasnt a one off. We had a variety of dishes and EVERYTHING banged. If you're wanting to try the best type of South Asian food I Highly Recommend to try Virundhu. Give it a try if you're in North London!
The menu is reasonable in size and easy to navigate. The food presentation was excellent, and the minimalist approach was ingenious. The woman who served our food always had a smile on her face. There were no complaints about the food quality. However, the music was excessively loud, and we had asked them to turn it down twice. The banging sound from the door behind our seats was another one. They're stuck in the middle of takeout and fine dining.
Lovely evening, delicious food...no two plates tasted the same. The staff and owner were very friendly. I will definitely be going back for more plates of deliciousness.
