small h Posted October 15, 2024 Share Posted October 15, 2024 Some unusual and good dishes at this Sri Lankan / South Indian place, notably the vada, the calamari, the crispy turkey berries (no picture 'cause it was all the way at the other end of the table), the hoppers (ditto) the chili cheese dosa, and the nandu chaaru, which - although the menu gave no inkling of this - turned out to be a very intense crab soup. Crab roast and Sri Lankan Prawn Kari were less successful, because South Asian restaurants tend to overcook / over-sauce seafood (except calamari?), there, I said it, come at me if you must.

I haven't been to Cervo in a long time, but this checks out, 'cause that bartender lived in Ridgewood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
