Reviews for Randiwa in Staten Island, NY
First time going. Place is clean cozy and friendly staff. Good was different in a good way. We ordered the curry fish with roti... and rice, chicken and veggies cooked and steamed in a banana leaf. Very delicious. The only thing I forgot my take homecontainer ????. Will definitely be going back to try other dishes. Read more
Incredible restaurant! Staten Island is home to one of the largest Sri Lankan communities in the US, and Randiwa really... exemplifies the tremendous culinary gems that exist in NYC?s oft-forgotten southern most borough. Besides outstanding hoppers(think fermented rice flour-based rotis topped with an egg) and kottu (instead of stir fried noodles, think a savory choppedroti stir fry with veggies), this restaurant is famous for its lamprais, which consists of a heap of fresh ghee rice, servedwith a feast of mezze-like dishes (goat, fish, chicken, jackfruit, twice cooked eggs, chilis), all encased in a banana leaf, andthen baked in an oven. Eating lamprais is pure ecstasy for the senses- sight, taste, smell, texture?.. It is worth trekking outto Staten Island just to experience Randiwa Read more

Good food. Nothing to complain. Great customer service. If anyone need good Sri lankan food this place recommended.
The food was good but certain items could be better. We got lamprais, deviled chicken, Ceylon chicken curry, chicken kottu roti... and wattalappan. All of the chicken were a bit rough. I had high hopes for the kottu but it was bland and had an unpleasantsmoky taste to it. Deviled chicken tasted great. Read more
Honestly I felt It's a little expensive for the ambiance and the restaurant had very simple low budget seating. But when it... comes to the taste, it's fatalistic. Trust me, if you love spicy South Asian cuisine, this is the place to be in New York city. Read more
This restaurant is known for good Sri Lankan food. The owner is a nice person who wants to run the extra mile for his customers.... But the issue is with the clowns who answer the telephone and, of course, take orders at the counter/ cashier. Your attitudewill not attract customers regardless of their nationality. Read more
