In November 2021, I finally visited the "Rodda Group," a place I had been wanting to go for a while but found it hard to access. This place offers authentic Sri Lankan home-cooked flavors. I targeted the Gamiras curry, as I missed out on it when I visited Sri Lanka before. I arrived right when they opened and was able to be seated at the counter without waiting. I ordered the Gamiras curry with mutton. The curry came with basmati rice, papadam, and milk tea. I chose the mutton curry, which was flavorful with a good amount of spice, and not too overpowering with the meaty taste. It was slightly spicy, which I enjoyed. The dish was served with basmati rice, three-color paprika, coconut, sauerkraut, lentil curry, beets, and topped with egg and papadam. It was delicious when mixed together. The banana and milk tea after the meal were a nice touch. The service was polite, the atmosphere was pleasant, and overall, it was a satisfying lunch experience in terms of value for money. Thank you for the meal!

After several years, I revisited Gamirasu. As expected, it was delicious! The rice, of course, was basmati rice. This time, I tried the spicy, deer meat curry, which was tasty without any strong flavors. Mixing all the toppings recommended by the staff and then eating it creates a complex combination of textures and flavors that is really delicious! I reaffirmed that it is truly a unique and delicious curry.

Near the Osaka Dome, there is a Sri Lankan restaurant known for its curry dishes. Despite the strong recommendation for the "Gamiras" lunch menu, I decided to be a bit rebellious and ordered the curry noodles instead. I chose the chicken curry and vegetable curry. The other customers all ordered the Gamiras without hesitation (laughs). The small restaurant is filled with the aroma of spices being cooked, which really stimulates the appetite. When the curry noodles arrived, they didn't look visually appealing with a fried egg in the center and yellow and brown curry. But when I lifted the egg, I found thin Sri Lankan stir-fried noodles hidden underneath. The combination of these thin noodles and curry turned out surprisingly delicious. Although it wasn't recommended, the Sri Lankan cuisine offered here was definitely worth trying.

I visited this restaurant located a short walk from Kyocera Dome to have lunch before watching a day game. I arrived five minutes before opening time and there were already two groups of customers ahead of me. I sat at the counter and ordered the recommended Gamirasu Pork Curry with Basmati Rice. They instructed me to mix it all together before eating. The spiciness is mainly concentrated in the center of the curry. It is level 1 spiciness, which I personally find spicy but enjoyable, feeling the heat in the back of my throat and cheeks with a slight sweating effect. The pork was chunky and the rice was light, making it easy to eat. I appreciated the presence of vegetables, chips, and boiled eggs to balance out the spiciness. The staff also regularly refilled my water. They offer banana and milk tea to help alleviate the spiciness after the meal. The regular price is 1600 yen, but during the promotional period, I got a 100 yen discount and paid 1500 yen. It's definitely worth a visit.

The small restaurant has only counter seats, giving off a true Sri Lankan atmosphere. I've never been to Sri Lanka, but the lunch set for 1100 yen was delicious. They asked to mix both dishes together. It was spicy enough to make me sweat, but tasty! The milk tea after the meal was a nice touch.

Monday around 12:25 pm. No line. Only one customer inside the restaurant. I thought there would be a long line because the restaurant had high ratings on Tabelog, but surprisingly it was not crowded at all. The portion of the Garamisa served was not huge at first glance, but when I started eating, I realized it was actually quite filling. The dessert with banana added some pressure because of its presence. The taste was really delicious, living up to the high ratings. I was told to mix it at the beginning and the flavors blended together nicely, with a good balance of spiciness and sweetness. Drinks were also served as a service, so overall, I felt quite satisfied. I would like to visit again.

I visited this restaurant because it came up as a candidate on Tabelog when passing by. The interior has a foreign feel, with a Sri Lankan chef. The curry, which seems to be authentic and not localized, made me feel like I was on a trip to Sri Lanka. It may not be a taste that appeals to everyone in Japan, but I recommend it to those who enjoy Asian cuisine. The friendly staff who speak good Japanese also add to the experience!

It feels like visiting a foreign country❤️ The taste I tried for the first time... It's a flavor that makes regular curry seem unsatisfying, a taste that I don't know and can't quite understand, but I definitely want to try it again! It's not just delicious or tasty, it's a taste that can't be easily expressed in words, but I understand why you would want to have it again! Anyway, I'm glad I found out about this restaurant. I will definitely go again!

Near the Osaka Dome, in a corner with no particular landmarks, I found my destination following Google Maps - a Sri Lankan curry restaurant! They had a variety of curries that reminded me of spice curry, including a dish called "Gyamirasa" which is a Sri Lankan home-cooked dish. I wanted to order the chicken curry Gyamirasa, but the staff recommended the lamb curry if I like spicy food. However, I prefer chicken, so I ordered the chicken curry Gyamirasa. It came with bone-in chicken cooked in curry and Basmati rice. The friendly staff instructed me to mix everything together and enjoy, including the pumpkin and beet curries. The flavors were delicious and didn't need any adjustments for Japanese tastes. It was a wonderful meal!

The curry at this place is quite spicy but delicious! The interior has a retro feel and the owner is chatty. They recommended the mutton curry, which was tasty. The owner is kind and offers water and tissues. For dessert, they serve banana and milk tea.

Here, I visited a Sri Lankan cuisine restaurant in Kansai, as part of my tour of the top 100 stores. I arrived right after the opening on a weekday during lunchtime, so I was able to be seated without waiting. The restaurant, located a little away from the bustling area, has 15 seats inside and has been featured in the media before. I ordered the "Gyamirasa" chicken curry, a Sri Lankan one-plate dish. The lunch course seemed to not be available within the first 30 minutes of opening. The curry was spicier than the usual medium spice level, and it came with two small chicken drumsticks with bones. The flavor was a bit monotonous, but the staff recommended mixing it with the various ingredients around it, which significantly improved the taste. Mixing different flavors together also helped to reduce the spiciness. The milk tea tasted like a commercially available brand. Overall, it was a satisfying meal. Thank you!

Gamilasa/Boar (Basmati Rice) Dome Chiyosaki Station is a Sri Lankan curry restaurant located in an area with a nostalgic atmosphere near the port, away from the hustle and bustle of Osaka city. The exterior of the restaurant exudes a strong Sri Lankan vibe. Gamilasa is a Sri Lankan style dish where various side dishes are mixed together. The Boar curry at the center has a rich flavor and is delicious even when eaten on its own. Despite being labeled as spicy, the curry is not overwhelmingly hot, with a thick and flavorful sauce that is satisfying. The variety of side dishes maintain the authentic Sri Lankan flavors while being approachable and tasty for Japanese palates. The bean curry in particular was delicious. The Basmati rice was pleasantly moist and had a subtle flavor. The friendly Sri Lankan staff added to the charming atmosphere of the restaurant, making it a wonderful place to experience the down-to-earth charm of Osaka's old town.

Summer vacation expedition to Kyoto and Osaka since the day before yesterday. Enjoyed Kabuki and Sujibukuri, savored sake and dishes with reunited friends and acquaintances, now just need to return before the typhoon arrives. However, before leaving, had a curry feast in Osaka, known as a hidden gem for curry lovers, a newly opened restaurant about a 10-minute walk from Mukaishima Station. The friendly owner, fluent in Japanese, greeted us warmly. The restaurant was filled with the aroma of spices. Ordered the Gamirasa, with today's special wild boar curry and basmati rice. Following the recommendation, thoroughly mixed it and tasted a variety of ingredients and spices in the mouth. The spiciness was not strong at first but gradually built up, leaving a refreshing feeling after eating. Enjoyed the meal and finished it in no time. Had milk tea and bananas after the meal, feeling full and satisfied. It was very delicious. #Osaka #Dome-mae #Rodda Group #Sri Lankan Curry #Curry #Gamirasa #Wild Boar Curry #Basmati Rice

I'm glad I ordered the Gamirasa Shrimp Curry this time. The aroma of coconut milk was amazing and it paired perfectly with the shrimp. The chickpeas had just the right amount of spiciness and were so delicious that I couldn't stop eating. The mango lassi was also consistently delicious. The staff's customer service was polite, making it a great restaurant. Truly deserving of being a top-rated establishment. Thank you for the meal.

I visited around 6:30 pm on Friday! The restaurant was not crowded, with only about 2 customers at the counter seats. I was greeted by a friendly smile from the lovely staff and seated at a table for 2 in the back. I ordered the recommended ginger ale and Sri Lankan curry (mutton). The curry's spiciness varies depending on the ingredients. I like spicy food, so I chose level 2 spiciness for the mutton! You can choose the amount of rice as well, and I opted for a large portion. The ginger ale was slightly sweet with a hint of ginger spiciness, similar to a mix of Wilkinson and Canada Dry. It was light and paired well with the curry. The mutton curry had no gamey taste, and the flavor of the mutton seeped into the curry, making it very delicious! The spiciness was mild, more on the mildly spicy side, so I think it's totally fine for those who like spicy food. The large portion of rice was the right choice as the rich curry sauce was so tasty, I finished it in no time. Thank you for the meal.

I stopped by after a meeting in Kujo. It's a Sri Lankan curry restaurant that has been selected as one of the top 100 shops. Today, I ordered the C set, which comes with two types of curry (chicken and vegetables) and sambol. As a fan of spicy food, I was hoping for sambol with lots of chili peppers, but honestly, I found it a bit lacking. I think even people who don't like spicy food could eat this sambol without any problems. The curry was delicious, but I secretly thought it wasn't necessarily worthy of being selected as one of the top 100 shops. Haha Well, if I have the chance to visit again in the future, I might give it another try. Thank you for the meal.

[Rodda Group] Rich flavor and intense spiciness!? Leading Sri Lankan curry in Osaka!? Located near Matsushima Shinchi in Osaka, Rodda Group is a fantastic Sri Lankan cuisine restaurant. It is a pioneer that sparked the Sri Lankan boom in Kansai. The Sri Lankan plate Gamiras with its rich flavor and spiciness is definitely exquisite. The slightly deep atmosphere inside the restaurant, along with friendly conversations with the owner, makes it a comfortable place to be. If you want to enjoy Sri Lankan cuisine in Osaka, this is the place to go!! The Japanese staff members were a bit lacking in friendliness, though, weren't they?

Date and time: Weekday at 11:30am Wait time: None I entered during lunchtime and ordered the B set (vegetable curry, chicken curry, salad, rice). The chicken curry was spicy and the vegetable curry was sweet. Mixing the two together created a mellow flavor that was easy to eat.

I didn't know, but it seems to be a very famous restaurant. I was worried about the long line, but my wife and I entered at a time when it was just right. The manager speaks in a strong Kansai dialect and is from Sri Lanka! We ordered the Gamira Samaton Biryani... it's spicy. But it's just right. But I'm sweating a lot. It's not so much for me, but I could taste the spice that might make it seem like I'm in China.

Once a month special menu! I went for the Gamirasa but got lured in by the "special" word. If they say it's a once a month special menu, you just have to order it, right? The cute visual appearance of the Mutton Biryani was delightful! It had a fried egg on top in the middle. There were also bone-in mutton pieces. It was delicious, with a good amount of spices, and different flavors to enjoy with the sauces on both ends. It looked fancy too. Mixing everything together made the taste even better. However, for the price, the portion was small and there wasn't much mutton. Just one bone-in piece and two small mutton pieces. Surprisingly, the Mutton Biryani didn't have mutton in it, just seasoned rice. It was delicious and the staff was nice, which made it a bit disappointing. I had just recently eaten a delicious mutton biryani for less than a thousand yen, so I guess I was a bit more critical this time.

First attempt at Sri Lankan cuisine! I played it safe and ordered the Gamiras chicken. It was only rated as level 1 spiciness, so I wasn't too worried, but it had a nice kick to it and was so delicious that I couldn't stop eating! I love spicy food, but my metabolism is too fast, so I ended up sweating while eating, haha. The bonus points were the banana and milk tea that came with the meal.
