Unfortunately the food was well below good, the pork and beef was tough and needed a knife to even attempt to eat, which was eventually just not worth the effort. A shame as the actual curry was very tasty. Won’t be back anytime soon.

First time visiting Manny Little! What a gorgeous little gem on the peninsula. We came for my husbands birthday dinner, drinks was lovely and food was sensational. Not sure if they were understaffed, but took a while to get another round of drinks, for plates to be cleared and the mains to be brought out. But otherwise, a 10/10 experience. We will be back!

The Sri Lankan Feast was excellent. The hoppers were crisp but fluffy in the middle. The curries were very flavoursome without being too hot to handle! The sides were delicious.

We come to Many little things to celebrate our birthdays and anniversary and this time it was my birthday. I came for barramundi cooked in mustard sauce and my son for butter chicken. Both not on menu. However the chef made my son butter chicken and he loved it. I on the hand had flounder which was cooked great but the sauce does not have the same kick. My partner ordered beef curry. Both of our dishes came quite cold for some reason. We usually have very good things to say but yesterday we weren’t happy.
