👍👍 My girlfriend and I always search for vegetarian eateries when arriving at a new destination and Little Paradise popped up as highly rated and we were not disappointed. The staff were unbelievably friendly and attentive and cooked an amazing mix of 6-8 delicious vegetarian dishes with rice to share....

The staff were unbelievably friendly and attentive and cooked an amazing mix of 6-8 delicious vegetarian dishes with rice to share. To wash it all down we had ice cream each and with drinks it all came to 3500. We loved it sooooo much we went again the next night! Thank you so much to all of you

    Very nice food in quiet garden. They offer a set menu of traditional Sri Lankan rice and curry, you can chose from chicken or vegetarian. Full bathroom available.

    Great place to have a non spicy Sri Lanka lunch. Highly recommend. But need to arrive before 3pm as food may be finished by then.

    Curry is good although not super tasty and also found the portion of chicken a bit too little. We were a group of 3 friends and also found the atmosphere a little bit too quiet for us.

    Very cute restaurant (we first thought that we were at someone’s home, as we were the only guests). The food was really good (we ordered both the vegetarian and chicken curry). Very nice location with the view on the garden! We would highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for a good srilankan meal!

    It is truly a hidden Gem ! We recently dined at Little paradise for Lunch and had an absolutely delightful experience ! It is a small restaurant that is located in a residential area, very quite and beautiful nature. The staff was attentive and friendly. The menu offered a variety of authentic rice and curry, not too spicy or oily for us. Absolutely best rice and curry we had in Sri Lanka. We returned second day again for lunch. We strongly recommend to anyone looking for an extraordinary culinary experience. Note: They offer different menu everyday and it is good to give them a call before arriving.

    We came back the second time after our archeological trip since it was a fantastic tasty traditional set lunch with many different flavours. Great service in a wonderful location away from the traffic just the sounds of birds. A hidden gem worth finding. Thank you.

    What a cute restaurant! Super friendly staff and good food. They will have a menu option for you so you can not chose wrong :) It is a must to visit since there are not many restaurants around. Also I did not sleep here, but that is possible. Rooms looked good and there is a nice little garden.

    While not easy to find because this is actually a guesthouse, the food, staff, and overall experience were incredible. Local dishes, not too spicy, big taste. Was our best restaurant experience in Sri Lanka. Stay in the guesthouse too, if you get the chance.

    I cannot begin to describe how happy I was to find this charming restaurant. It is nestled away in the suburbs meaning it is very peaceful. The staff are incredibly welcoming and the food was the best I have had since I started travelling over a month ago. Definitely add this one to your lists!

    Just had dinner at Little Paradise. It’s a hidden gem. The food is soooo good. We just got back from a Safari trip and didn’t had dinner yet so decided to come here. Really sweet owners that welcome you and make you feel like home. We had rice & curry with chicken, fresh spinach, potatoes, cucumber curry, dahl, special local curry and more. We ate everything that’s on the picture, plates were clean! Hope people find this place and enjoy the local cuisine. Thanks again for the food!!

    Such a nice place! When you go there by tuktuk, it is hard to find. But once you're there, you won't regret it. We've had an amazing vegetarian 6-curry dish and the owners were really nice. We've had a good chat about Sri Lanka, his guesthouse and other things going on in Sri Lanka at this moment. Really the guesthouse feeling.

    I’ve been traveling for several weeks in Sri Lanka and the Rice & Curry at this place was decent, but far from exceptional. The portions of the curries are quite small. The service was very friendly though.

  • 5/5 Supuni N. 8 months ago on Google
    Little Paradise Restaurant truly exceeded all my expectations! The atmosphere was charming, and the food was simply divine. From the first bite to the last, every dish was a masterpiece of flavors. The attentive staff made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

    Feels like a very local homey place but thought the Sri Lankan rice and curry was the most westernized here than other places we've eaten around Sri Lanka. Very small serving and not as good value as other places either. Two options chicken or vegetarian. The only good curry was the eggplant, the rest below average in Sri Lanka

  • 4/5 Haizea A. 4 years ago on Google
    Real home made curry&rice dishes. If you are in Anuradhapura is worth it to try it!

  • 5/5 Sri A. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Small, hidden restaurant run by lovely people. There was no menu, but a choice between vegetarian, fish or meat curry. The food was great. I would eat there again anytime. (Original) Kleines, verstecktes Restaurant bewirtet von sehr lieben Leuten. Es gab keine Karte, sondern die Auswahl zwischen vegetarischem, Fisch-, oder Fleischcurry. Das Essen war super. Ich würde jederzeit wieder dort essen gehen.

    (Translated by Google) We ate there one night, we loved it, the food is really good, the setting cute, relaxed atmosphere. We arrived a little before 8 pm and we were the last so do not be too late to go but I recommend, we feasted !! (Original) On a mangé là un soir, on a adoré, la cuisine est vraiment très bonne, le cadre mignon, ambiance détendue. On est arrivé un peu avant 20h et on était les derniers donc ne pas trop tarder pour y aller mais je recommande, on s'est régalé !!
