I’d been eagerly awaiting our booking at Ella, and let me just say, the experience far exceeded my expectations… we started the night with lamb ribs and pan rolls, followed by 1000 layer potatoes, tamarind chicken, barramundi and the green beans. After we finished these we figured we’d better get the jaggery lamb, the beef cheeks and the banana prawns as well… for research purposes of course! The night did end up a little pricey, but as far as I’m concerned it was worth every penny! Will definitely be returning in the near future, hungry for more

Service was excellent but the noise level (of other diners) was unpleasant. Food was delicious as always, but we thought the pumpkin dish and rotis were rather oily on this occasion.
