We asked Adi, Pratham and the team at Pepper Ceylon to cater for a special event we hosted and throughout the whole process, we experienced so much care and thoughtfulness from the team. The food was incredibly delicious, it made the event extra special and we all loved it so much! My dad is a Sri Lankan who is notoriously fussy when it comes to food, so we were a little apprehensive to see what he would think, but he loved it! Pepper Ceylon have gained lots of new customers through us all- we've found our new favourite Sri Lankan place! 😍Posted on Google Liane LiskTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Popped into this little Gem on a Sunday evening, and ate in, what an absolute delight! The gentleman on the front desk was absolutely lovely, very polite and helpful, and the food was really delicious 😋 We had a a selection from the menu, and it all hit the spot. Masala Dosa 😍 goodness! Crispy and delicious, the Dips were delicious also. Fish cutlet which was a great size! A vege combo plate 😋 that had dhal, beans, Aubergine curry, rice and coconut sambol, with an extra Roti, such a great mix, just like when we make it at home. Idiyappam (String hoppers) vege which has stir fried veg and soy in, this was fantastic, I have never had string hoppers cooked like this before, and I will now try this at home! I ordered 2 mutton rolls and 2 fish cutlets to take away. The value for money was brilliant, we were so pleased that I absolutely guarantee we will be back again very soon, iam craving another Dosa already, and will be trying the kottu veg and pol rotti and potato fry! Well worth a drop in for a take away, or eat in. They have a few tables where you can eat in. Great parking in multistorey in side road 2 minute walk from shop.Posted on Google Cristina GanasegaramTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Amazing Tamil food hands down the best in Bedford would recommend 1000 times amazing and friendly staff aswell MUST VISITPosted on Google Krish NathanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I stopped off for an impromptu visit with my mother today and had a delicious vegetarian lunch. Service was fab and the lovely waiter even gave us free poppadoms and let my mum have a taste of their Wattalappam (a Sri Lankan dessert like a creme caramel but with Sri Lankan ingredients like jaggery). I really enjoyed lunch - generous portions so I had to use a doggy bag for my leftovers!Posted on Google Sudharsan BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Good food
