Amazing find! Food is so delicious! I try something new everytime I go. Authenthic food and experience. Feel like your traveling through your palette here . Cannot wait to go back and try something new!

Absolutely amazing! We found this place on yelp and we are foodies. My partner has a gluten allergy and there were plenty of options for him. We started with a mug of hot tea with milk and along came these delicious sugar type cubes that you take a bite and then a sip. Heaven on earth!! We had the dhal vade as an appetizer, crunchy and delicious. As entrees we had string hoppers with the shrimp Currie OUTSTANDING!!!! We also had the pork deviled specialty, off the hook!! The owner is so kind and we learned a lot about Shri lanka as a country and their thoughts on food. Outstanding experience we will be back!!!

I would rather not review this place, as everyone wanting to experience authentic cooking and hospitality will then flock to this tiny gem located in Fishkill, NY. Food and service is absolutely amazing. Hospitality is so genuine you will fell like you are in Sri Lanka . We were a party of six and were seated right away without a lengthy wait for our food either.

My only regret is this restaurant isn't closer! They were playing a relaxing video of the Sri Lankan countryside which set the mood. The server was a bit brusque but he seemed knowledgeable. More importantly everything was delicious -- dhal vade (crunchy!!!), Sri Lankan tea (with milk and a bit of fresh ginger!), watalappan (like a spiced version of flan!!!), deviled pork (super tasty), and OMG the rice and curry goat was outstanding! This is well worth a trip to Beacon!

I love going to this place. It feels like going to someone's home for Sri Lankan food. The ambiance is very homely vibe. The service is great. Everything is super fresh. Owners greet you with a big smile and walk you through the menu if you have any questions. Pol roti - delicious. String hopper - great Veg meal -- delicious. I can eat it every day. So comforting.

Not just good - GREAT. Fresh, the most authentic flavors, family run, the warmest mom coming by to say hello, fresh flowers decorating the space - I need you to open a spot in NYC PLEASE! We had the fish cutlet, the dhal vade, the beef curry with string hoppers, and the chicken biriani. All 10 outta 10. I'll be back in Wappinger Falls just for this.

It's been a while since I dined at red pepper diner, but I found the food and service to be wonderful. The ambience could use a little bit of a tweak and more of the great cultural music would definitely be welcome.

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 covering the 8 or so tables with big round placemats at every seat, a few Buddha statues on the window sills, the walls littered with colorful 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. I sat down with a view of the Foam & Wash Car Wash to my left, and was handed a menu. Off rip, I loved the menu as it was filled with pictures of the food items. I'm sure some people find this tacky, but I love to be able to see what I'm about to order...and don't even get me started on QR codes... The owner 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... But I came all the way out here and had already logged 20,000 steps by this point so whatever. 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. I tried to do one of those sexy yolk videos where the egg pours over the rice, but it FLOPPED as I didn't commit hard enough to the slice ahahaha. After I demolished the meal, 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. I paid the $59 tab and walked out. I almost went in the Family Dollar just for shits, but a wise man once told me to stay out of Dollar Stores after the sun goes down.

We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience at this establishment. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. The food was delicious. The service was impeccable; we were made to feel as if we were invited to dinner at a friend's home. In addition to the aromas and flavors presented in the meal, there was a television playing videos of food being prepared in Sri Lanka which served to transport us, albeit virtually, to that distant location. There was an extremely heavy downpour when we were leaving, and one of the staff offered to loan us an umbrella.
