Mirissa beach Inn & Restaurant: Best place for freash sea food

by Pavelgt

Located in beach, serves fresh sea food, sri lankan, western and eastern foods. Prices are reasonable and good place for chillout on the beach. Highly recommended. We had lobster. It was delicious with vegetable rice and french fries.

Saruketha: Lovely place for al fresco dining

by Emiralex

We have dropped into this restaurant for breakfast on the way from the airport to Giritale.Excellent traditional set up, the place is clean and well-kept.Menu is quite rich, and mainly consists of Sri lankan curries and other typical local food.We've chosen omelettes with toasts, few curries and fresh juices.Food was good, however curries were a bit spicy for unaccustomed europeans :) Omelettes, fresh juices

Hotel Sudu Araliya Restaurant: Polonnaruwa

by call_me_rhia

Let's face it - I'm not a fan of buffets.. usually the food is very indifferent and of no quality at all. Sadly this restaurant was not the exception. I guess I'll never understand why Sri Lankans are so fond if buffets The usual buffet-style Sri Lankan dishes - hot, spicy and not very good tasting. There must be better Sri Lankan food than this. We were saved by some pasta. As for real Sri Lankan food... I'm still hoping to get around to atste it locally

Hard Rock Restaurant: On the Beach

by PierreZA

This is one of many restaurants along the beach front in Unawatuna. The 3-wheel driver reccomended it to me. The tables or on the sand, with the surf not far away. They serve a good variety of food and drinks. The service is good, as is the food. Devilled Chicken

DJ's: Good Local Rice and Curry in Kandy

by PierreZA

My 3-wheeler driver took me to this very nice restaurant. It is a bit out of town, but a very good experience. It is situated next to Wedamedura Auyerveda. I had a very good Rice and curry with chicken, at reasonable prices and good service. I can recommend this restaurant anytime!Remember when ordering Rice with Curry, you get about 6 side dishes as well - so it quite a big meal!The waiter took time to explain each dish to me. Rice and Curry

few tips: Rice and Curry

by nbaman99

i see many reviewers saying you can find rice and curry anywhere and its mostly spicy. many erupoion people were unhappy with there food just for this reason. Sri lankan main food is rice and curry, but it does not mean that you cant find any other kind of food there. the most important thing is do your research. this will give u a good idea about the culture and food. 2 stay in a nice hotel and go to good resturents, not the ones you see on the road while you driving. if you go to a nice resturants, it will be little pricy but you will find the same kind of food you looking for but clean and less spicy. also many cheap road side eateries have pre made food, so there is a good chance you fill eat spicy food.3 tell the waiter do not make your food spicy and they will be gald to accomedate you, and you will enjoy ur food.

Road side Curry and Rice shops: Only Place for AUTHENTIC SRI LANKAN FOOD!

by mallyak

After 2 nights in Colomobo we wondered how we would manage for food in sri Lanka..the Restaurants served only a very Bland TOURISTY VERSION of Sri Lankan food and we asked our driver enroute to our next destination that we wanted REAL lankan food and not some upmarket place serving passable cury and rice..so we were DELIGHTED when he stopped a bit worried at place which resembled a SHACK ..but he could see the hungry Glint in our eyes when we said ..this is a LANKAN DHABBHA!For Sri Lanakn Rupees 50-Rs 100 one could eat wonderful Lankan vegetarian food of about 6 dishes including all the lovely accompaniments.For Rs 50 more you could have some fish curry or fried fish!Even better -the food was cooked with wood fire and that was what gave it its great taste...Forget michigan restaurants..this is REAL FOOD!

Singharaja: Lovely Local Food

by Jeananne

This is a local place above a bakery in Aluthgama, it is owned by a German man and the food is excellent,from the outside it doesn't look very much ,but don't let that put you off. It is very cheap and the portions are enormous!! Mixed Fried Rice, absolutely delicious.

Alhambra: good Indian food

by emmet7

the food was excellent, particularly the naans and paratha.We walked around Colombo and most decent restaurants seemed to be in hotels but most only had buffets, we went to above to order ala carte and it was a good value overall. cheese and garlic naan; spicy, cheesy and certain to make you breath curl peoples hair
