I went to Kothu Rotti last night before a movie at the Bytowne. This small restaurant is located on Dalhousie across the street from Island Flava/Smokes Poutinerie. There are a few tables for dining in but it is quite warm in the resto so I decided to get take-out and ate in the food court at the Rideau Centre. They have a rather extensive menu of Sri Lankan dishes and I had a tough time deciding what to order since everything looked good. I love lamb but haven't had it in awhile so I decided whatever I order will include lamb in the dish. I decided to settle for the mutton biryani asking for medium spice level. I got a generous portion of fried rice with mutton and vegetables and a hard boiled egg on top. It was quite spicy in a good kinda way and I really enjoyed my meal. The prices are a bargain and the staff is pleasant. I will have to add this resto to my list of favourites.
I got some take out here as i was looking for something a little different. I started with the mutton roll which looks like a little spring roll but the wrap is thicker. The texture of the lamb was a bit pasty but it was delicious. It also came with a great dipping sauce. Tamarind based if I had to guess with a spicy kick. The deviled chicken was a big portion of sweet/spicy chicken with a lot of onion and green pepper. It was a bit sweeter
and less spicy then I was expecting but very good nonetheless. The chicken was toothsome FYI. The naan was not to my liking. Looked like it was cooked on the griddle and a bit sweet. Gonna go back at some point.
