Lunch was simple yet satisfying — fresh flavors, well-balanced portions, and served just right to keep me full without feeling heavy.”

I had Mongolian Chicken Rice and Nasi Goreng Chicken from Moonlight Jaffna, and I must say, I was truly surprised by the taste! I didn’t expect it to be this good, but it turned out to be one of the tastiest meals I’ve ever had. The flavors were rich, and the chicken was perfectly cooked. I got it as a takeaway to enjoy with my family, and they loved it too! Definitely a place worth visiting for delicious food. Highly recommended!

I recently tried kottu at Moonlight, and it was a delicious experience! The kottu was freshly made, hot, and full of flavour — perfectly balanced with spices and a nice mix of vegetables and meat. The place also had a pleasant, casual atmosphere, making it a great spot to enjoy a tasty meal with friends.

Yesterday we took chicken briyani, shezwan chicken rice, panner fried rice and veg soup. All non veg foods were absolutely tasty, but veg foods were very bad. But service and atmosphere are super. We love it. I will recommend this restaurant for non veg lovers.

I had a wonderful experience at Moonlight Restaurant. The food was served hot and full of flavor, with big, satisfying portions that really stand out. I especially appreciated that the dishes were cooked with less oil, which made them feel lighter and healthier without losing any taste. Compared to many hotel restaurants, Moonlight is definitely better – the quality, warmth, and care in the cooking make a big difference. It’s a place where you can enjoy a hearty meal that feels homemade, yet still special. Highly recommended!
