Spicy Zest - Restaurant & Bar

Spicy Zest is always a hit with our family! They have a great menu with tons of options for people with all types of dietary needs -- vegetarian and gluten free options were critical for us and they passed the test! Pro tips -- be sure to start the meal with a fresh juice and end with a delicious dessert and a cup of Sri Lankan tea. This is the key to enjoying the full Sri Lankan experience at Spicy Zest. 😄

Tried Sri Lankan food for the first time the other day at @spicyzest—and wow, what an experience! 🇱🇰✨ I thought it might be similar to Indian cuisine, but it was surprisingly different! The flavors were incredibly unique—lots of coconut, tamarind, and mango. Everything we tried was bursting with taste and totally delicious. The owner was beyond kind and welcoming. We let him know that we’re vegetarian, I’m gluten-free, and this was our very first time trying Sri Lankan food. He personally walked us through the entire buffet, explaining what was safe for us to eat. That level of care? So rare—and so appreciated! Since there weren’t too many gluten-free options at the buffet, he even had the kitchen make special rice dishes just for us—like veggie fried rice and a flavorful masala rice. 🥹 Hands down, my favorite dishes were the eggplant salad and the mango curry—I would honestly go back just for that mango curry alone! Beyond the food, the vibe was amazing. The staff checked in often, made us feel at home, and there was even a live singer with such a beautiful voice—it added the perfect touch to an already wonderful evening. 10/10 experience. We felt cared for, welcomed, and absolutely stuffed with delicious food. Can’t wait to go back!
