The Bungalow Galle Fort - Restaurant & Cocktail Bar.

January 17, 2026

We managed to get a table at the Bungalow for dinner on Monday evening. Walk-in only, and there was quite a long queue and wait but we’re glad we stuck with it. They seat you inside on couches in the lobby before you get a table where you can look at the menu in advance and also order drinks if you like. Menu had a great selection but everything seafood is the winner. Very fresh. Get the seafood platter which includes a whole shell crab and you won’t be disappointed 🤤 we also tried the fritters and pavlova for dessert. Fritters ended up winning on the dessert front. Cocktails were also very delicious! Many thanks to Sahiru who provided excellent and speedy service.

Had a really good experience at The Bungalow, Galle. The ambience is calm and beautiful and the service made it even better. Special thanks to Zakir for being so attentive and warm throughout our visit, he genuinely made us feel taken care of. The food was excellent. We tried the crispy calamari as a starter, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. For mains, the tuna steak was fresh and cooked just right, and the tiger prawn garlic rice was rich, aromatic, and absolutely delicious. Overall, great food, great service, and a lovely place to spend an evening. Would definitely recommend if you’re in Galle.

We had a great dinner at The Bungalow. Even though the restaurant was quite full the Manager made sure we were seated swiftly. Thushara, the Restaurant Captain, made the meal all the more enjoyable with his kindness. The food was excellent and we really loved the atmosphere in the restaurant. You should absolutely have the fritters for desert. Definitely coming back the next time we are visiting Galle.

We were pleasantly surprised by the ambience of this restaurant which was clean and busy. Since we didn't have a booking, we had to wait for half an hour until a table became available. We were served by delightful young server named Zakir, who not only assisted us to order our meals but assisted us to identify dishes on offer and explained what they contained. He continued to approach us during the meal to enquire if our requirements have been met and if we needed anything else. This level of service is rear in a busy restaurant and we have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant, especially if Zakir is working on the night. The food itself was delicious and the service exemplary.

When we first arrived there was a waiting period. We went inside to ask about the waiting time but the response was loud, unclear, and quite unwelcoming. We were told they didn’t know the waiting time and that it could take up to two hours with an attitude that clearly suggested they didn’t really care whether we waited or left. Since we had travelled from far and were really looking forward to this experience we decided to give it another try. We returned after about half an hour and luckily got a table as spaces were clearing up. This feedback is mainly about the welcoming attitude, which could definitely be improved. Guests usually arrive with a good appetite, positive mood, and hope of spending a pleasant time so a little politeness and a more organised waiting system would make a big difference. Now coming to the main part food and drinks there are absolutely no complaints. Hands down, the taste and quality were excellent. We were served by Sahitu, who was polite, smiling, and did a good job. We would definitely visit again and this place is a must-try just with a suggestion that the welcome and waiting process be handled in a more organised and guest friendly manner.
