Great local sri lankan buffet. Around 8 dishes available, all cooked in a clay pot. The tuna curry was especially good as was the cabbage curry. Eggplant one was too sweet. Nice rice options available. Costs around 3000 Drinks are extra and the ginger juice was fantastic. Nice to people watch on the terrace. Friendly service, although they kept pushing me to eat more Food is served in earthen ware in a clean and neat manner. Majority of the fate is vegetarian with 2-3 dishes to serve the seaf...

Food is served in earthen ware in a clean and neat manner. Majority of the fate is vegetarian with 2-3 dishes to serve the seafood lovers. The home made ginger beer is a great cooler and the staff is friendly. Perfect casual dining spot in midst of a busy shopping street in Galle. Sweet and authentic Sri Lankan vibe!

Couldn’t think of a better place to eat a traditional Sri Lankan buffet than here. The staff were so kind and helpful. I would most definitely go back. That tuna curry was phenomenal! Great value for money.

We came for the all you can eat buffet, 2950 LKR (£7.50), following amazing reviews. I was happy as a vegan to have many options. There was yellow or Red rice, dhal, aubergine curry, mango and fruit curry, cabbage curry, sambal, poppas and roti. Also a baklava dessert. drinks cost extra. Sadly we were very disappointed. The food was bland and tasteless. I understand they can’t make it spicy as some people cannot eat hot food. There was chilli on the side. However the food, lacked seasoning and seemed to just offer cheap fruit and vegetables cooked as curries. We paid over double the price of comparable restaurants and for very low quality. Better off eating the street food on the corner.

Hats off to the amazing team, super damn welcoming. Definitely coming back for more. The food is one of the best I’ve had in all of srilanka. The curries taste super authentic. Overall the best place to satisfy your taste buds with authentic Srilankan cuisine.
