    This was a pleasant surprise given its location, light industrial out the back of Dandenong, the restaurant was modern well presented lovely ambience. The staff were very pleasant the waiting time for food was not too long for a table of 9 guests. The only slight downside was the entrees had hardly hit the table when the mains arrived. Would definitely have liked a short break between courses. The food was good but maybe should include more entree type dishes similar to pan rolls. Portions were considerable and there was the option of taking your uneaten portion home. Yes I would go back

    This was my second visit to this restaurant. The first time, I really enjoyed the food and the ambience, although the service was not great. I thought I would give it another try, hoping things may have improved. Unfortunately, this visit was quite similar. The food was great, and the meals came out quickly. However, the service was very lacking. I specifically asked the waitress to serve our entrees first and bring the mains afterwards. Despite this, the mains arrived at the table while we were still having our entrees. Our drinks also arrived only after we had received our main meals. It’s disappointing because the food and atmosphere are genuinely good, and the restaurant has a lot of potential. However, good food is only part of the dining experience. The sequence of service and attention to the customer’s requests need significant improvement. I hope the management takes this feedback constructively, because with better customer service and proper sequence of service, this could be a much more enjoyable dining experience.

    Pearl is a great addition to the long list of Sri Lankan restaurants that now cater for a very multicultural Melbourne. The ambience, service and the variety place Pearl among the best with many returning customers.
