"Le restaurant L'Ex-Ceylan porte son nom à merveille, la cuisine y est excellente ! Tous les plats de la belle carte ont été imaginés par le chef, originaire du Sri Lanka. L'atmosphère y est paisible. Un atout indéniable et assez exceptionnel : les propriétaires du restaurant cultivent eux mêmes, avec amour, leurs légumes dans leur jardin ! C'est assez exceptionnel !!! Bravo à eux pour leur engagement, celui de nous servir une cuisine authentique et de qualité, tout leur travail et leur gentillesse. Je ne peux que recommander cet excellent restaurant !."

"Très bonne cuisine différente de ce qu’on connaît des autres resto indiens ou Pakistanais. Tout est maison et très délicat. Le service est un peu « artisanal » mais bienveillant. Beaucoup de saveurs et des prix raisonnables…."
