We had a great experience at Karapincha Restaurant! The food was very nice we tried two Sri Lankan fried rice dishes, and both were delicious and full of authentic flavour. The portions were generous, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended!

A hidden gem in Canary Wharf station. I am always a fan of Sri Lanka food, and came here to try. The ordering is pretty straightforward, just line up and tell the staff what you want. I ordered the PARATHA box with mums chicken. The curry wasn’t very spicy, it is with coconut milk base. The taste is so good and everything is yummy however I found the portion is quite small. I am a girl and I didn’t feel I had enough after the meal. They make the kothu roti at restaurant freshly. I will make sure I order that next time. 4/5 star due to the small portion. Every thing else is great, taste, service, etc.

We hired Karapincha to cater our wedding and were delighted with how it went We found everyone to be extremely easy to work with throughout, and on the big day everything went perfectly without a hitch Darshini and the team helped us create a menu that suited our taste and our budget spot-on - serving canapés and small bites to start, then lunch and dinner too, and signature tea and coffee too. Everything was delicious. Some friends told us it was the best wedding food they had ever had! We would recommend Karapincha to anyone who likes authentic, delicious Sri Lankan food for their party, and we can’t wait to go visit their restaurant again in Canary Wharf
