    Upon arrival, a reserved table was ready for us. The staff is very friendly and knows the entire menu well. The atmosphere is pleasant with good music and an interesting interior. If you like spicy food, then this is definitely the place for you. We liked everything, but the egg hooper and chicken Kotthy are top, I highly recommend. Mocktails look beautiful and taste even better. The choice of desserts is not large, but the pana kota simply blew my taste buds. Thank you very much for a wonderful evening!

    First experience of Sri Lankan cooking, and it won't be my last. Egg hopper starter was excellent, and jaffna goat and potato curry with roast chicken kotthu to accompany was even better. My wife had hot battered calamari and prawn fried rice - all dishes were well prepared and presented, and the staff were helpful and friendly. Just a 10-minute stroll from beautiful central Oxford...give it a go.

    Most of the dishes were overcooked and heavily seasoned with salt.

    We had a great time at the Coconut Tree. The service was friendly and efficient, and the food was delicious, especially the egg hoppers. We have visited several times before and look forward to another visit soon.

    The food is amazing. Small plates so lots of options can be tried. Our waitress suggested we choose a curry as we had gone for dry dishes....this worked perfectly. Cocktails good too.

    Had to wait for very long for food and drinks to arrive. Small portions, especially side orders, with price at regular main level. Lots of cocktails and drinks options. Good that it gets cheaper when order 2 at the same time.

    Cute little restaurant with cute little dishes. It’s marked as street food, but price is bit too high for street food.

    Nice food. I didn't like being encouraged by the waitress to add additional dishes. We had already ordered 5 dishes plus rice for 2 people and this ended up being far too much food. The cocktails served in tiny glasses at 2 for £18 were completely overpriced.

    Unbelievable food and service from a restaurant with bags of character with lots to guarantee you return. The cocktails are delicious and the food not too spicy but full of taste

    This is a hidden gem of a restaurant. Great welcome, very helpful....Had no idea what to order so had a taste of all sorts vegetarian. The pumpkin and lentil dishes were particularly delicious, hubby loved the roasted potatoes....We took two buses to get there. Well worth it. This is not the place for you if you want fancy and frills. But if you want delicious flavoursome food with emphasis on service with a smile then give it a go. You won't be disappointed.

    A table for 8 on a busy Friday was an excellent choice, as the welcome and customer service were brilliant. Knowledge of the dishes and ability to help one if us who wanted a hotter chilli version of one of them was impeccable. Quirky and dramatic cocktails set the tone and all of us had a great experience. Veggies and goat eaters all made very happy. Highly recommend this place
