A welcoming place, with courteous and attentive staff. The dishes are meticulously crafted, rich in flavor, and beautifully presented: you can taste the quality of the ingredients and the passion of the kitchen staff.
The wine list is superb: a carefully selected selection, excellent pairings, and bottles for all tastes. A true added value that makes dinner even more special.
Excellent value for money. I will definitely be back—highly recommended!

Sri Lankan cuisine is beautifully presented and described by Milan, who is happy to take the time to describe his dishes.
Some ingredients clash, having little to do with the cuisine of those latitudes, but they are choices.
It's more of a theoretical experience (very pleasant) than a true immersion in Sri Lankan flavors.
The prices are decidedly exorbitant compared to the quality, albeit good, of the dishes presented.
Pleasant but overrated.

We can't recommend dinner at this restaurant highly enough. The dinner was delicious; we chose several appetizers to share (all excellent) and the typical Sri Lankan dish, batmule... simply delicious.
The wait staff were extremely kind, attentive to detail, and helped us choose the dishes to try.
Some dishes, once served, were explained to us directly by Chef Milan: we were impressed not only by his skill, but also by his passion, careful selection of ingredients, and research into the cuisine he offers.
Thanks to all the staff; we can't wait to visit you again!

Tanishka is amazing! The atmosphere is magical, the dishes are surprising and full of flavor, and, thanks to Milan, the service is warm. Every bite is a journey: an experience that leaves you smiling and wanting to return! The location is beautiful, both the small garden and the interior. When I want to pamper myself a little, I go there. 10 out of 10!!!

An alternative restaurant where you can enjoy Sri Lankan dishes, probably adapted to a European palate, but certainly delicious.
They recommended this restaurant to me without explaining what the culinary experience would be like. When you take the first bite, familiar and secret flavors unfold...I'd call it a mystical experience.
Milan, the chef/owner plays with flavor combinations, sourcing original and organic products, and paying attention to detail and food quality...A 10 out of 10!!!!
THE WAITER????
Young, friendly, and knowledgeable...never intrusive.

We tried the tasting menu, which allows you to sample the appetizers on the menu. It's definitely a good choice to try different Sri Lankan dishes, and despite the spiciness, they're very good! (The chef also incorporates Italian ingredients into some dishes.) The dessert is highly recommended, too!
The staff is very friendly and happy to explain each dish!
I'd say we were satisfied with the experience and will probably return to try some other dishes.

A Questionable Interpretation of Traditional Sri Lankan Cuisine.
Tanishkaristo restaurant aims to introduce the authentic flavors of traditional Sri Lankan cuisine to Italy, specifically Milan, evoking childhood culinary memories and home cooking. However, the experience offered doesn't quite live up to this promise.
The dishes offered, while incorporating elements of Sri Lankan inspiration, deviate significantly from the canons of true traditional Sri Lankan cuisine. The flavors appear diluted, less intense, and distinctive, betraying the complexity and harmony of aromas that distinguish the original cuisine. Furthermore, portions are sometimes small, failing to fully meet diners' expectations.
For those who have had the opportunity to savor authentic Sri Lankan cuisine, the experience at Tanishkaristo may prove disappointing. The differences are evident, both in the use of spices and in the preparation of traditional dishes. It's possible, however, that the restaurant aims for a more "domesticated" interpretation of Sri Lankan cuisine, adapting it to Italian palates or experimenting with culinary fusions. In that case, the proposal could find its audience.
If the goal is to present authentic traditional Sri Lankan cuisine, Tanishkaristo doesn't fully achieve that goal. If, however, the intent is to offer a reinterpretation, while acceptable, it would be appropriate to clearly state this, avoiding misleading the diner.

Sri Lankan restaurant in a somewhat isolated street in the Via Padova area. Very pleasant radical chic place with competent and kind staff. Dishes that adhere to tradition, well executed and presented; more beautiful than good. Unfortunately, the cost is in line with Milanese standards. Good wine.
Service with biblical waiting times (more than 40 minutes between appetizers and main courses)
Overall, a nice evening, the food was not bad, but we wouldn't return.
