Brilliant night spent here with a private party where we hired the upstairs rooms. Good drinks, great service, banging food and tremendous fun. We had a darts tournament, karaoke and lots of space to sit or stand and chat. Thanks to all at Arrack for a wonderful time.
Very tasty curry and it came with 3 vegetable dishes. Will definitely go back and if you haven’t tried it yet I can highly recommend. Friendly staff, nice restaurant and good service.
Such a fun atmosphere! I went there with my brother, it was his birthday, and they decided to make things so special for us with an open mic, free starter, and a cute brownie. Thank you so much, Dasit and Ama.
Great bar - the drinks were a reasonable price. Best part was the food. I ordered the chicken pasta and you could taste how fresh the ingredients were. My friend's pizza also looked good with a crispy thin base. We ordered the calamari which was also good. All in all a great night out.
I've walked past here loads on my way home and had so many recommendations from friends about the food here, so I wanted to see for myself. The food is delicious and the service really friendly and attentive. When my wife wanted something to cool down her curry, the waiter brought back a raita that had just been handmade, specially in the kitchen. You can tell that a lot of care goes into the cooking and preparation. You have to try it!
Found this unique gem off the main drag in Dorking on a mini pub crawl... only came in for beers not knowing anything about the fabulous fusion of Sri Lankan food, and its still a proper pub! Had great tap beers and small bites - mutton rolls & fried whitefish / whitebait, served by super friendly staff who also love dogs! Came back the next week on a quiet wet night with my son, this time focus was the food, we weren't disappointed. 3 starters for 12.95 (popcorn chicken, whitebait, prawn tempura) followed by fish cutlets and spicy fries - definitely my favorite 'fish & chips' We only tried fried dishes this visit, but all were really well cooked, nothing greasy (or mullered either!). Can't wait to come back and try the curry's, hear the Sunday buffet is excellent. Chefs Samantha & Yohan with a great bar team headed by lovely Jane, but credit to the enthusiast Ellen who won us over the first visit to have more than just a few beers to resume our 'crawl' We'll be back!
Went for lunch. Fantastic, authentic Sri Lankan curries, all delightful and very tasty. Service couldn’t have been better. Do give this a try - doubt you’ll be disappointed. Important to look after fledgling business in Dorking especially when they’re endeavouring to offer something different.
Super yummy Sri Lanka food a real depth of flavour and incredible service, extremely attentive staff. It appears it might be fun later into the evening too, cocktails and darts became popular and the music ramped up as the evening went on...
