Best Sri Lanka food in town. Amazing family owned and operated with a real Sri Lankan recipe. Owner is super cool with a smiley face. I would suggest if you really wanted to taste the Sri Lankan food this is the restaurant!!! I highly recommend this restaurant and am so excited to go again on our next visit to New York.

It is one of the best sri Lankan cuisine restaurants in the whole Hudson Valley , I highly recommend trying it out . It is a family ran restaurant, and the owner is a very generous and sweet person . They recently moved to this new location in beacon , it has decent ambiance.
Parking – plenty available and free.
Ambiance – 4/5 , not one of the best attractions, but they made efforts to give feeling of sri lanka , I highly praise it.
Food
Try out pothu roti , ski lankan fried rice, and devils chicken .
They can modify their main dishes into vegetarian/vegan option upon request .
Their overall food spicy level is milder on the side as compared to indian or thai cuisine . They do an amazing job with food presentations and their hospitality.
I would also recommend trying out their ski lankan tea .
They have two desserts one is watalappan which is a vegan dessert made which any milk products . The other one is kiri pani , which is made from yogurt , i would rate 4/5 , one-time try .
The best part of the restaurant is their owners, who are very helpful , sweet people who make u feel like a family.
Red Pepper Diner is my favorite restaurant in the Beacon area. Tonight we had the fish cutlet as appetizers and beef curry that came with rice, Dahl and sautéd picked eggplant. We ordered hoppers on the side that were both crispy and soft with the aroma and taste of fresh coconut. For dessert I had the Watalappan which was made from coconut milk, warming spices like cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves and sweetened with palm sugar. I finished my meal with Sri Lankan tea with fresh ginger pieces and a side of palm sugar to sweeten it. This place is a hidden treasure, family owned, and authentic home style food.
After passing car dealerships, a Mavis Discount Tire, a laundromat, a Family Dollar, and a Car Wash, I arrived at the Sri Lankan promised land.
Red Pepper Diner is a small brick building that looks more like a house or apartment building than a restaurant, but I find these types of restaurants generally have the most character.
I walked in at 5:35pm to avoid a dinner rush, but when I opened the brown door, the place was dead. It was only 2 other patrons and I.
I stood there awkwardly for a bit as there was no host stand or anything, and just took in the ambiance: Colored tablecloths, the walls littered with paintings and newspaper clippings with glowing reviews of the place, and a TV playing Sri Lankan ASMR sounds and cooking visuals. It felt more like a spiritual center or a spa than a restaurant.
After about 30 seconds, the owner came out and met me with a big smile and a “Just for 1?”
He welcomed me to sit anywhere, and I opted on taking a 4 top in the corner as it had the least amount of seating.
He was doubling as my waiter, and I asked him what the move was. He kind of recommended everything ahahaha so I just went with one of the House Specialties (Deviled Pork), as I wanted something Sri Lankan authentic, and the Sri Lankan Special Fried Rice because who doesn’t like fried rice…
I also got an appetizer sampler because I’m a beast. I know what you’re thinking, yeah fine, I was a little chunkster
When I asked the owner if this was too much food, he furrowed his brow and said “No! Just take whatever you don’t eat to go…” This was the exact answer I wanted as we both know this was way too much food for one person ahaha. Sometimes I just want someone to tell me what I want to hear. Respect.
After ordering and sipping on an Authentic Sri Lankan beer, the food began to roll in. The appetizer sampler was my first victim, with the Vegetable Spring Roll being the standout.
Next was the Sri Lankan fried rice with an egg on top, and the presentation was beautiful. It was an amalgamation of fried rice with shrimp, calamari, and chicken garnished with spring onions, fried onions, and fresh coriander sprigs. It was DELICIOUS.
After I demolished fried rice, the owner came over and picked up the clean plate and said, “Look, no oil. Our ingredients the best!” in his heavy accent. He wasn’t lyin though!
The deviled pork came last, and it was essentially just pork with sauteed onions, peppers, and Traditional Sri Lankan spices. I love how simple, yet flavorful these dishes were. It was filled with flavors my tastebuds have seldom come across, but was fantastic.
It was at this point I think the owner saw me taking pictures of the food with my Canon G7X camera, and really turned the hospitality up to 11 ahahahaha.
I was pretty full at this point as I had just MOGGED two entrees and an appetizer sampler, but he brought out an authentic Sri Lankan dessert called Kiri Pani for me to try.
Kiri Pani is a buffalo curd with a palm sugar syrup. It wasn’t for me to be honest ahahaha. My tastebuds felt violated. I did the thing where I kind of mash it around to make it look like I ate more than I did.
The food was really starting to settle, so I was FULL at this point. And after that Kiri Pani I just wanted the check, but he brought out another Sri Lankan dessert.
I felt like the grinch judging the Who Pudding competition where they are just stuffing desserts in his face as he is just trying to survive ahahaha.
But actually, it was super nice and thoughtful. He came over and explained to me what it was but I was so focused on locking in to eat this next dessert that I didn’t really hear him.
It was something light wrapped in a green little tortilla that tasted coconut flavored. I finished all of it because I’m a warrior, and because it was pretty tasty.
I got the check and the owner came up and gave me his business card, and asked me to write reviews on Yelp and google ahahahaha like bro that’s literally why I’m here. I got a quota to hit.

Very tasty food, but the portions were sized as kid’s meal.
They need to enlarge the food portion to match a normal dish.
