Very grateful to be able to enjoy a wonderful day in New York as a tourist, taking in the sights and more importantly, experiencing the great foods and the diversities of the cuisines found in the state. Today, I took a trip to Staten Island to see the great views of the New York skyline and to see the Statue of Liberty. And while the sights were impressive, I was ultimately thrilled to have found a hidden gem in Staten Island serving up what’s voted as New York’s best Sri Lankan curries! It keeps getting better because this is a buffet also; with an incredible value!
It’s always fun and exciting experiencing new cuisines and the tastes and flavours of Sri Lanka certainly does not disappoint. And there’s no better way to try all the foods and offerings than at a buffet where one can sample to theirs heart’s desire! While cutlets, hoppers, kottus, and Wambatu moju may not be in ones culinary vocabulary at this point, there is a wonderful and satisfying way to remedy that at Lukruwana.
Lakruwana Restaurant in Staten Island offers their Sri Lankan buffet every Saturday and Sunday. For the incredible price of $16, this buffet offers incredible Sri Lankan favourites delivering deep and intense flavours in the best possible way.

Is there anyone in NY with proper medical training to explain to wokes that mask does not work and it in fact is bad for you; merely woke theatre.
Tim great video. Thank you very much
It’s not how you eat them. You have to mix everything together and eat. You have to let the rice be seasoned by cuisines. Then eat it using a spoon or hand.
👍🙂🙏
සුපිරියක්ම තමා 😎😎
Thank you for posting this, will definitely try this place if I am in New York City. Too bad we don’t have an authentic Sinhalese restaurant in Toronto.
Years ago we used to take SI Ferry to work in person or with car, when cars were allowed. I miss the Si Ferry rides. I moved away a long time ago. I'm not sure if this restaurant was open when we lived there. I love this kind of food.
Much success to all.
I love saag paneer, and rice, tandoori chicken breast, chicken Mahoning, dal, and other dishes.
Enjoy.
Jayawewa..

I was there. Great food. So many Sri Lankans live in Staten Island.
This weekend buffet is still $16.
I love Sri Lanka, amazing food and people ❤. Thank you for this video! 👍👍
After this, all that American buffets will seem soooo bland 😂
Sri lankan food best food country 😏🇱🇰
Never tried this kind of food before, but everything looks so good. We are severely lacking in good buffets here in Northern CA.
thank you 😍😍😍
I have never heard anyone in my 68 years of living, get so excited about eating fat.🤔
Their eggplant is one of the best things I've ever tasted. I hope it's always a staple at their buffet. The mouse is also fantastic.
I'm a sri lankan American
