4.7/5 ### Rice N' Spice: A Burst of Sri Lankan Magic in Anaheim Hidden away on Euclid Street in Anaheim, just minutes from Disneyland, Rice N' Spice stands as Orange County's sole beacon of authentic Sri Lankan cuisine—a cozy, unpretentious spot that's been delighting adventurous eaters since its opening. The vibe is welcoming and lived-in, with colorful murals evoking tropical Colombo vibes, a handful of tables for dine-in, and a focus on takeout that makes it ideal for picnics or post-park feasts. Open most days from noon until evening (with a couple of midweek closures), it's the kind of place where the aroma of curry leaves and banana leaves wafts out the door, pulling you in like a siren's call. Prices are refreshingly fair—entrees hover around $10-16—and the menu's emphasis on fresh, spice-forward dishes ensures every visit feels like a mini-vacation to the Indian Ocean island. But let's talk about what truly steals the show: the lamprais, a masterful bundle of flavors that's become my obsession. At $15 for the chicken version, it's essentially a portable feast wrapped in a steamed banana leaf, infusing everything with an earthy, subtle smokiness. Unfurl it to reveal tender, fall-apart chicken simmered in a fragrant coconut curry, vibrant yellow rice cooked in broth for that perfect fluffy-yet-sticky texture, a creamy hard-boiled egg, tangy eggplant curry, sweet-and-sour pineapple curry that cuts through the richness, and crispy fried shrimp sambol for a salty, textural pop. Each component is meticulously balanced—bold spices like turmeric, cinnamon, and cardamom mingle without overwhelming, while the sweetness from the pineapple adds a tropical lift that dances on your palate. It's not just tasty; it's a symphony of contrasts: creamy against crunchy, savory against sweet, all in one handheld package. I've tried the beef variation too, where the meat's deeper savoriness amps up the umami, but the chicken's lighter profile keeps it endlessly craveable. Pro tip: Heat it at home for that fresh-off-the-grill warmth; it freezes beautifully for impromptu dinners. Beyond the lamprais, the menu tempts with hoppers (those lacy, bowl-shaped rice flour crepes) perfect for scooping up fiery sambal, or kottu roti for a stir-fried noodle-like thrill. Desserts like watalappan, a jaggery-coconut custard, provide a silky finish, and the Sri Lankan iced coffee is a spiced revelation. Service is warm and knowledgeable—staff like head chef Sandya share sourcing stories with genuine pride, making you feel like family. With a 4.6/5 on Restaurant Guru from hundreds of raves, it's no wonder this gem has loyalists driving from all over SoCal. If you're tired of the usual Thai or Indian spots and yearning for something uniquely soul-warming, Rice N' Spice's lamprais will transport you straight to Sri Lanka. It's more than a meal; it's pure, unadulterated joy on a leaf. Can't wait for my next packet!

Absolutely amazing authentic Sri Lankan food! The flavors are spot on and truly remind me of home. As a chef myself, I can honestly say the quality and authenticity here are outstanding. Chef Sandya is incredible — she prepares every dish with care and passion, and it really shows in the taste. The service is excellent, warm, and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. If you’re looking for real Sri Lankan cuisine, this is the place. Highly recommend!

Amazing, authentic food. I'm so happy i found this in driving distance. Five of us visited and ordered: Kottu, Lamprais, Hoppers, egg hoppers, pol roti, godamba roti, rice & curry, ice coffee, wattalappam. All were great. Chicken kottu was really good. Godamba roti was hot & soft. No complaints. I'll keep coming every few weeks.

Food was excellent in every way. I was driving back to San Francisco after going to Disneyland and stopped by for lunch. I asked them to make things mild for my daughter who can’t handle spicy food. Please note that this is primarily a take out space with around 5 tables for sit down. The food was so good that I even bought separate take out order. I will be back the next time I am in town.

This is one of the best Sri Lankan restaurant I had tried so far. We had our lunch today at this place. We tried biriyani, Hoppers and string hoppers. Must try…Delicious food for reasonable price. The place was nice and clean. The person who took our orders was very friendly.
