We tried the tuna poke bowl, curry chicken poke bowl, and crispy rice with salmon. For the bowls, we chose half red rice and half garlic rice, and asked for everything to be spicy. The spice level was just right and really enjoyable. Our favorite dish was definitely the crispy rice with salmon. The garlic rice wasn’t very garlicky though — we would have loved to taste the garlic a bit more. Overall, we really enjoyed the food, and the location and atmosphere of the place were also very nice. Would happily come back!

Had a lovely dining experience at MARU, Galle Fort. The food was tasty, and we tried Japanese dishes which were absolutely delicious. The staff were very supportive with excellent communication and super friendly service. A special thanks to Dilshan for his warm hospitality and helpful attitude, which made our visit even more enjoyable. 🍣🍱

This was probably the best meal I’ve had in Srilanka. Great poke bowl options to choose from or make your own bowl with base, veggies and protein selection. Tried their slushy options which were refreshing after a walk around Galle in the scorching heat. The katsu curry bowl is an absolute must have. Food here feels like home and comforting. This is not to be missed when in Galle.

We had an amazing experience here! The poke bowls were absolutely delicious, we tried the salmon and the tuna. The large size is totally worth it: for only about 400 rupees more you get a much bigger bowl, and the value is excellent. The staff also handled our gluten-free request without any problem, which we really appreciated. For drinks, I highly recommend the slushy cucumber or slushy strawberry, both were super refreshing. We also tried the tacos, which were tasty as well. Another great plus: the restaurant has air-conditioning. If you go to the far right side behind the glass doors, you’ll find the fully AC-cooled section, which is much colder and very comfortable compared to the outdoor seating. The atmosphere was lovely with a beautiful view, the service was attentive, and the food quality was spot on. Overall, a fantastic dining experience, five stars without hesitation. Highly recommended if you’re craving fresh and flavorful poke bowls!
