Red Pepper Diner

Here’s the delightful story of the Red Pepper Diner! This place is in an odd spot, next to a gas station and a beer store on Route 9d near Beacon, but don’t let its humble location fool you – this little roadside gem has become something truly special. What started as owners Saman and Thanuja’s plan to serve classic American diner fare in an old roadhouse has wonderfully transformed into something much more exciting.

The magic happened when the couple decided to share their Sri Lankan heritage through food, and now they’re proudly serving traditional Sri Lankan and American cuisine. It’s not every day you stumble upon authentic Sri Lankan flavors while cruising down Route 9D! The transformation has been so successful that visitors often leave having learned quite a bit about Sri Lankan culture and cuisine along the way.

What makes this place truly shine is the genuine hospitality and educational aspect – the couple is happy to educate customers on Sri Lanka’s proud culinary tradition. Reviews consistently praise the friendly staff and excellent service, making it clear that this isn’t just about great food, but about sharing culture and creating connections. With hundreds of photos and reviews from happy customers, the Red Pepper Diner has proven that sometimes the best discoveries happen in the most unexpected places.
