Great location, street level at New Bahru. You are greeted by a cosy and relaxing outdoor seating and warmly greeted with a bright and colourful interior! Think warm and cheerful! Comfortable seating and warm lighting. Their warm and friendly staff made our dining experience so much more enjoyable. We were promptly shown to our table and throughout our meal, service was exquisite. Attentive yet leaving you with enough of a quiet time to enjoy your meal. Perfect for me! We were guided through the menu and food selection which helped us in ordering just the right amount. Leaving us with just enough temptation for our next visit! We started with the Crab Cutlets and Mutton Rolls- both were delicious! Good amount of filling in each with a light batter. Flavours were balanced and just right. A little on the spicy side, but still bearable. These will definitely be on my list of orders for my next visit! The hoppers went well with the Isso Devil, prawns. Still raving about how tasty the dish was and spices, well balanced. We enjoyed the set with the perch. Again flavours married well together and the set allowed for tasting of a number of offerings in the menu. A good choice. We couldn’t find any secret compartment for dessert and will definitely make this a priority for our next visit! Come! Come hungry and enjoy exquisite Sri Lankan fare, as much as we did! Thank you Team Kotuwa! Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch!

Had lunch here and it was amazing. All the dishes were flavourful and expertly cooked, like you're back on a trip to Sri Lanka. We had the aubergine pickle, the special chicken dish, the butternut squash curry, and the plain hopper. Would definitely come back.

Situated in the ground floor of an apartment complex, the restaurant was unassuming. We managed to get an indoor table, as it was very hot and humid. We visited for the first time, having just returned from several weeks in Sri Lanka. The food at Kotuwa was every bit as good as the food in their home country! The service was attentive, without being intrusive. The menu offered good vegetarian options. The dall had great flavour and texture, the cauliflower curry was bursting with flavours, and not overpowered with coconut milk, it also retained the texture, where many other restaurants overcook it. The butternut squash dish was a complete contrast, with rich flavours developing in your mouth, with a warmth continuing to be present without being over spiced. The sambal flight was a great choice - one coconut, chilli and lime, the next aubergine based and the third tamarind with caramelised onion. They allowed the flavours to supplement the other dishes. A small portion of plain rice was sufficient for two people. The food was so good we booked a table and returned three days later and tried the Cashew yellow rice, and Okra - well worth trying. The mango beer was worth a try and very fruity, on our second visit the local lager was a good bet. We liked the scorched art on the tables too. If we are back in Singapore we will visit again!

If you are looking for something different and in the mood for some adventure but not so wild, this is the place. The restaurant ambiance was really nice. If you can make it during happy hours or when it is not so darn hot outdoors their backyard patio was sooooo nice. On the wrong day, it would be an outdoor sauna or shower. The service was friendlier than most other restaurants especially when you get the Phillipina waitress but in general the staff is knowledgeable enough and could make good recommendation. The food was somewhat an interesting fusion of Indian food with many twist and turns. Srilankan cuisine is NOT Indian food but heavily influenced by it. Give it a try.

First time trying Sri Lankan food and it definitely didn’t disappoint. The dishes were so flavorful and tasted just like home-cooked comfort food. I’m not really a fan of duck dishes, but their duck curry was really good.
