Mount Lavinia in Nürnberg

Great service and atmosphere in the center of Nuremberg

The table was super dirty. For 2 out of 5 people there were napkins under the cutlery, for the rest the cutlery was in the dirt. They also moved the reservation from 7:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. and reduced it from 6 to 5 people :)

Super tasty, super cozy, super nice! If I lived in Nuremberg, I would definitely come here often. Highly recommended:-)

Food was delicious. The restaurant offers so many tasty, healthy dishes. I still can not forget the taste of the mushroom curry, it was just amazing. My boyfriend had meaty dish and it was out of this world. I had okra, mushroom curry and it was delicious. The restaurant values ayurvedic cuisine, so I also had ayurvedic relax tea that was bit sweet, bit spicy and after it I slept as a baby. Apart from versatile choice of meaty dishes, this restaurant offers ayurveduc, vegan and gluten free options 😌

Wonderful restaurant with delicious food, a cosy and warm atmosphere, and amazing owner from Sri Lanka. Great food and tea offer, even for people with food allergies. You can choose from a lot of vegan and gluten free options.

Absolutely fantastic food and cozy atmosphere!

Very tasty food. When it came to Pitta, the most impressive thing for me was the ancient Ceylonese royal cress. In my opinion, the service was a bit reserved, otherwise we would certainly have drunk more.

Leckeres Essen und große Auswahl an Speisen. Auf Wunsch wurde mein Essen ohne Kokosmilch zubereitet. Die Stufe der Schärfe ist wählbar. Der Service sehr freundlich und die Atmosphäre insgesamt sehr angenehm.

Absolutely amazing experience with food from another planet! Shane, you are a genius and we hope many people read this review and experience your restaurant too! Thank you so much!

Very good food and friendly staff. An unusual taste experience.

We had dinner at Mount Lavinnia Restaurant in Nuremberg, a Sri Lankan gem. We ordered the black mutton curry and curry pork with red rice and vegetables. The taste was authentically Sri Lankan, truly delightful. The restaurant has a mild and pleasant ambiance, playing blues music, and the interior made us feel like we were in Sri Lanka. Highly recommended!

My first time eating Sri Lankan cuisine and just loved it! The environment is cozy and the waiter super friendly. I normally don’t eat spicy food, then ordered spicy scale 1 out of 6, it was the perfect level, very tasty!

It was a delight to have experienced the culinary wonders of Sri lanka in Deutcheland. The owner is very friendly and attends to every customer by himself. The flavours and the ingredients were authentic Srilankan. We had the black lamb curry and the pork curry with rice and some vegetable dishes. It was fantastic. Planning for another visit although our stay is short in Nuremberg.

Nice and very authentic restaurant. I rarely order lamb, I did everything right here!

The food was high quality and very tasty. You can choose your individual level of spiciness. Top value for money and friendly service.

Great food, amazing vegan options!

The slightly different restaurant with 3 different flavors of Ayuverdic, Ceylon and Thailand. It is friendly and comfortably furnished with a bit of a mix of styles. The service is very friendly and helpful with the selection. With a little time, you can read everything on the map. The levels of spiciness are particularly helpful. The meat (beef) in my dish was very well cooked, the curry was ok, but chosen incorrectly. Here the taste experience did not arrive as desired because something tasted almost bitter and smoky. But the experience was there and still good.

The kottu roti was super delicious and flavourful. The mango lassi however could have been better, it just had no taste and was watered down. The owner who served us was very kind and recommended the right thing. Will visit again :)

Wunderbares, delikates asiatisches Essen - sehr gut zubereitet, ausgezeichnet serviert. Auch das zweite Mal sehr zufrieden, lediglich der Mango-Lassi war nicht mehr so gut, wie letztes Jahr. Inhaber sehr freundlich!

Very good atmosphere, very friendly service. The owner is the one who assists you and speaks English perfectly. On the menu there are dishes from India, Thailand and Sri Lanka, all spectacular. It is not very expensive, it costs around €25-30 per person depending on what you want to eat and drink. Great selection of vegetarian dishes. I will definitely return.

We wanted to try something new and were pleasantly surprised. We tried the lunch menu and we wouldn't be disappointed. Clear recommendation!

The food and the service were top!!!!!

Amazing good and very friendly staff. I really enjoyed my food here. Had the chicken kottu parotta which is authentic ans flavourful. The spice levels go from 1-6 and I can handle spice well and level 5 was proper spicy. Have level 6 at your own risk. 😜

Very tasty food and nice staff. Authentic Kothu paratha!! Let's come again!

I was there completely unplanned...and will be back tomorrow...the food was simply amazing...the service was top...I discovered Aryuvedic cuisine through this restaurant...absolutely top

Today we spontaneously visited this restaurant and I am absolutely thrilled. The service and food were excellent. The spices offered a real explosion of flavor. I can fully recommend this restaurant. We will definitely come back.

Food is absolutely delicious, and the background blues music ambiance is so cool and relaxing ! It was a real pleasure to come in this restaurant for diner every day I stay at Nuremberg.

Were at Mount Lavinia for the first time. Food was great! No pasta or pizza. Unusual. The level of spiciness is queried. If you want something special to eat, this is the place for you.

A challenge when it comes to taste and, above all, spiciness! Very competent advice. Overall, an interesting evening beyond the Chinese or Italian.

Went to Mount Lavinia with friends and were completely satisfied. The restaurant is comfortably furnished and offers enough space at the table. The menu is very diverse and the choice is therefore not easy. The spiciness of the dishes can be selected between 1-6, which is also carried out very well by the kitchen. The portions are large enough and are served very attractively. All dishes were extremely tasty, the individual spices were recognizable and used perfectly. The owner and the service were extremely friendly.p At the end, the bill is presented in a small wooden box that requires some skill to open - a fun end to a very successful evening. If you like good Asian food, this is the place for you! We are already looking forward to our next visit to Mount Lavinia.

The food was great and we felt very comfortable!

Probably the best Sri Lankan food in European city. Owner Samson has is a very friendly guy with over 30 years experience and excellent PR.

Just something completely different! Owner very friendly and answers questions if you don't know the kitchen. Food and ambience TOP! Gladly again

I was already at Mount Lavinia around 1990 and was very impressed back then. It's all the more incomprehensible that it took so long until my next visit. The food was still delicious, and there are taste experiences that are absolutely unique. The owner is also a very nice and courteous person. If you want to have a different experience than the "usual" Asian restaurants, away from the mainstream, you can't go wrong. 100% recommended.

Highly Recommended. The food was very good. The service was friendly and personable. The ambience is authentic and the music is pleasant. In my opinion it couldn't be better. Top address...

Great place, the food was delicious The service was the best ever

Best Sri Lankan food , must try mango salad

Delicious food; generous portions. The level of spiciness (can be customized) was perfect. Hoping to be back to try more dishes from their menu!

Tee war sehr lecker , Essen eher durchschnittlich bis unterdurchschnittlich gut. Werde nicht wieder hin gehen. Bedienung war nett

Authentic cuisine for decades. The restaurant has a special charm!

Food was "simple" but tasty. I think it's nice that you can order the level of spiciness in 6 levels according to your own taste.

Really nice place to come to for some authentic Sri Lankan food. The decor is quite unique and the food is very tasty! The service is great and all the dishes you order, you can decide on your own spice level 1-6 (6 being the spiciest). All the dishes and curries were delicious and the variety is extensive. This was my first time trying this type of cuisine and I will definitely try it again in the future. Definitely recommend!

Very great restaurant. Great food, clean toilets, pleasant music. Great spices and if you like Ayurvedic food, this is the right place for you. Wellness for the tongue and the palate. Truly an experience that I would be happy to repeat.

Sadly, many things came frome the freezer. Also their so called roti is a cheekiness. (And by far worst bread i had in any indian restaurant!)

Leave the hustle and bustle at home, take some time with you and enjoy slowly! When Nürnberger came across it by chance, it certainly wasn't the last time. There were six of us and everyone was very satisfied. RECOMMENDATION!

Eins meiner Lieblingslokale seit über 20 Jahren! Das Essen ist einfach phänomenal…!

Ich liebe die ceylonesische Küche, war das letzte mal vor Corona hier und freue mich, dass die Qualität des Essens kein bisschen nachgelassen hat. Top Empfehlung, schönes Ambiente, toller Service und einfach herausragendes essen!

Was soll ich sagen, einfach lecker, sehr gemütlich. Ich kann diese Location auf jeden Fall empfehlen.

Ein Abendessen im Mount Lavinia ist jedes Mal ein Highlight. Die Speisen sind sehr lecker, fein gewürzt und auf den Punkt gegart. Es gibt auch eine große Auswahl an unglaublich leckeren veganen und vegetarischen Speisen und es wird gerne auf besondere Wünsche eingegangen. Die Musik und das Ambiente ist sehr angenehm und romantisch. Der Service ist unglaublich zuvorkommend, höflich und freundlich. Mein Lieblingsrestaurant in Nürnberg :)

Kleines Lokal etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Und lange Wartezeit bis einer kam für die Bestellung.

Sensationell! Tolles Essen, freundliche Bedienung und ein sehr angenehmes Ambiente. Wir hatten das Lamm mit Black-Curry. Eine echte Besonderheit! Alles super, sehr gerne wieder!!

Booked to go for evening meal. Lovely friendly service. Had samosas and lamb sate to start. Very nice. Mains were prawn curry and beef Malay. Both delicious. Spice level is high so recommend going lower than normal. Rice was delicious too. Good, smooth Chiliean Cabernet. Definitely recommend

A very cozy restaurant, with an extensive ( mostly ceylan and sri)lanka dishes. Very good food, at excellent prices, a friendly owner.

A cozy and warm eatery! Great food prepared in ceylonese style!

Geniales Restaurant, hat uns überzeugt und ist definitiv eine Empfehlung wert! <3

Cozy interior, very sympathetic owner, we tried the vegetarian menu (22 euro) and it was a very nice surprise ! When in Nürnberg, will certainly visit again !

Wir hatten leider Pech. An unserem Abend war das Restaurant restlos gefüllt. In Kombination mit akutem Personalmangel waren die freundlichen Gastgeber trotz aller Bemühungen am Limit. Es kam zu enormem Wartezeiten, keinerlei Möglichkeit Getränke nachzubestellen (ohne dies direkt an der Bar zu tun) und Verwechslungen beim Hauptgang. In Kombination mit dem in die Jahre gekommenen Interior und der lauten Musik ein eher anstrengender Besuch, bei dem uns auch das Essen nicht überzeugen konnte. Verkochter Reis sowie kaum Gemüse bei den Fleisch- und Fischgerichten.

Endlich habe ich einen Ort in Deutschland gefunden, in dem ordentlich scharf gewürzt wird!

Das Restaurant war brechend voll u.a. mit großen Gruppen. Die Betreiber sind sehr nett und bemüht, doch akuter Personalmangel sorgte an diesem Abend leider für lange Wartezeiten. Insgesamt konnte uns das Restaurant weder kulinarisch, noch durch Ambiente überzeugen.

Very good Srilankan restaurant. Friendly atmosphere, original interieur. Tried Prawn soup, very fine. Green papaya salad: i know very very good thai superspicy version. My favorite. But this is totally different. Not spicy, warm, with coconut and herbs. Interessant. Still my favourite continues thai style. Srilankan black curry from daily offer is excellent. Spicy. roasted herbs, dark brown sauce and turkey breast cubes. With roasted basmati rice and interessant aromatic mango salad. Yes, this is what You "must eat".

Überraschend angenehmes Erlebnis - geradezu ein wow-Effekt, wieso haben wir das schon so viele Jahre ‚übersehen‘? Sehr angenehmer Service, der Mann macht seinen Job gerne und steht hinter allem was hier passiert - das spürt man und es schafft Vertrauen und gleich ein gewisses Wohlfühlen. Auch das essen (wir waren zu viert, alle haben mehrere Sachen bestellt und es wurde quer durch probiert) hat eigentlich alle positiv überrascht. Man kann sich den schärfegrad einstellen und es gibt ausdrücklich Auswahl für Veganer, Vegetarier, aber auch mehrere Fleisch und Fischgerichte. Man merkt auch, das die Speisen die Küche erst verlassen wenn ‚alles stimmt‘, also es wird sorgfältig angerichtet und schön präsentiert. Keinesfalls aufgedonnert, nicht ‚schick gemacht‘, sondern gut gekocht und mit dem Anspruch serviert, das der Gart ein schönes Erlebnis haben möge, also Dinge werden getrennt voneinander serviert und Teller sind vorgewärmt. Es geht mehr um den Geschmack der speisen als um schickes aussehen, dafür wird halt ehrlich gekocht. Wir waren jedenfalls alle 4 ganz angetan. Preise sind absolut angemessen.

Sehr authentische Speisen schon seit vielen Jahren, nette Bedienung, lecker

Schönes Ambiente und die Bedienung war sehr nett. Er hat jeden einzelnen von uns gefragt wie scharf wir das Essen haben wollen und uns die Schärfe Skala, die von 1 bis 6 geht erklärt. Das hat dann auch super funktioniert, das Essen war nicht zu scharf. Es gibt eine ziemlich große Speisekarte, das Lamm mit schwarzem Curry fand ich besonders gut. Ich habe eine Mango Schorle und einen Lassi getrunken, die waren super lecker.

Essen ist gut, Preis etwas hoch.

Ultraleckeres Essen in super gemütlicher Atmosphäre. Immer wieder gerne ☺️

Quite tasty meat and rice. And a selection of wines!

Delicous food, very friendly waiter, pleasent atmosphere, highly recommend this restaurant!

Great place , beautifull music. Excellent food. Nice owner.

Das Essen schmeckt sehr gut . Kann ich nur weiter empfehlen!

Konobar je zaboravio jednu narudžbu, nakon što smo čekali zaboravljeno jelo, došla je tvrda i neukusna piletina. Lijepo i tradicionalno uređen restoran.

Sehr leckeres, natürliches Essen 👍🏽

Authentic food from Ceylon. We love this place and go there from time to time. Everything there is authentic and molded to the particular personality of the owner. Excellent music by the way. Enjoy.

Great food, great service, lovely decoration, good music. I had the vegetarian Kandy menu and everything was delicious!

Unglaublich gutes Essen! Man sollte ein wenig Zeit mitbringen aber dafür schmeckt alles unglaublich frisch. Die Schärfe zwischen 1 - 6 darf man selbst bestimmen. Generell auch ein sehr nettes Personal.

Sehr angenehme Atmosphäre, freundliche Bedienung, sehr schmackhafte authentische Gerichte mit selbst gewähltem Schärfegrad. Wir hatten Schwertfisch und Lamm. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Geschmacklich sehr gut und in gemütlichen Ambiente. Allerdings dauert es recht lange (zu wenig Personal).

Amazing food. Loved it! Had the Kandy vegetarian menu. The soup, curries and the dessert were all good. All dishes were fresh and delicious. The owner is very friendly and makes you feel comfortable. Totally recommend and would love to come back again.

Sehr leckere und authentische Gerichte. Gemütliche Atmosphäre und sehr zuvorkommende Bedienung.

Sehr freundlicher Service. Die Gerichte waren OK, aber geschmacklich relativ langweilig und die Portionsgröße übersichtlich. Für den verlangten Preis eine eher unterdurchschnittliche Leistung.

Jedes Mal ein Traum, Essen ist nur zu empfehlen! Jeder der einmal hier war, kommt wieder!

Das Restaurant ist dem Motto seiner Speisekarte auch bei der Dekoration treu geblieben. Liebevoll eingereicht, toller Service (hier bedient noch der Chef selbst) der sich auch die Zeit nimmt, einen Plausch mit einem abzuhalten. Essen ist einfach mega lecker, egal ob mit Fleisch, vegetarisch oder die veganen Gerichte. Hier kann man nichts verkehrt machen. Wir können es nur bestens empfehlen!

Grosse Auswahl, sehr leckeres Essen, schönes Ambiente und freundliche Bedienung.

Authentisches Ambiente, nettes Personal; es könnte ein wenig sauberer sein (Spinnweben etc) und man hat länger auf Getränke und Speisen warten müssen

Wir hatten mit 3 Personen das vegetarische Menu. Geschmacklich sehr gut. Allerdings dauert es sehr lange. Reserviert auf 19:30h, ca. 20:30h Vorspeise, ca. 21:00 das Hauptmenu, das passt nicht so zu der Preisliga, mit 90€ für 3 Personen eher höherpreisig, Portionen ok, aber nicht üppig. Preis-Leistung ok, allerdings woanders besser. Deshalb nur 4 Sterne.

Pretty lovely and fantastic food! Like short trip holiday!
