    We dropped in for a quick drink. Dirty martini was on point. Tequila sunrise had too much of syrup in it and tasted almost like cordial. Hot butter prawns were fresh, well prepared, juicey and crunchy at the same time, well deserved 10/10. Great ambience. Sea breeze, nicely lit, good music and everything needed for a perfect evening. Prior reservation is recommended if you'd like a table right on the beach. The garden area with Pandan trees has a nice private feel to it.

    Amazing place, very inviting, the ambience is very soothing given it's on the beach, and some old school music played by a live band. I was told that they got their bar set up now so you can go for nice beer. The food is amazing as well. If you do everything visit the Barracuda, see if you can get a table out in the beach. It's pretty nice.

    Established in 2013, Barracuda Seafood and Grill has rapidly emerged as one of the foremost beachside restaurants in the popular Dehiwala-Mount Lavinia Beach. Most evenings will find the restaurant at full capacity, frequented by tourists and locals alike who know Barracuda for our reputation of great service, beachside views, and international cuisines. Delicious foods and friendly service from staff. Recommended for evening parties, day outs and also to celebrate your special occasions.

    We went there on 31st December 2021. They had arranged a special evening which included an entrance fee as well. The restaurant ambiance was good. Our orders came without any delay. But food was not seasoned well and not spicy at all. No enough salt and pepper. Other than that we had a good time.

    Nice place decorated by the natural assets. The sea view and the location is Fantastic for mind peace. Best place for romantic candle 🕯 light dinners with your loved one. So many varieties of starters, Noodles, drinks and rice. Liquor also available here. Taste is so good, for the taste and the quality of the food price can be reasonable.

    Sunday lunch. Better reserve your table before visiting this place on a weekend and Friday nights. The place gets full if you are slightly late. As the place is full the food took some time to arrive. Food is good. Great variety of foods specially on sea foods. They have a handfull of dessert selection too. You can get a beach view table if you are lucky. Service is good but we noticed the person who served our table always bring one item less than what we ask for but the bill had the number we ordered + plus the one we reminded. But they changed it without a second thought. Prices are expensive but there are some items that can be shared between 2-3 people. Recommended for friends and family outings and you are ok with spending a little more for a better experience.

    It was Saturday night super busy and crowded. We went without reserving a table coz it was a sudden meet up for us. The staff somehow managed to arrange the table for us. Foods were really delicious l love the outside seating atmosphere with live music. We ordered 2 cocktails, 1 mock tails, 1 pasta, seafood fried rice (2 varieties) , Fish & Chips. The place is highly recommended better to reserve early.

    What a super place for seafoods in the colombo . There are no any other places like this. On the beach tables available . Really tasty and amazing foods. Reasonable prices. Quick service and friendly staff . High safety place for the clients. Privacy protecting super beach restaurant . The portion is too large. Highly recommended .

    We had a wonderful Saturday night dinner. They had a fire dancer by the beach and a music band all night. The seafood grill was good and their buttered seafood appetizers were delicious. The grilled lamb was very chewy and not edible, so I would avoid it if possible. Overall the atmosphere was great, the service was good for a packed restaurant and food tasted good.

    Service was brilliant and the spicy and very diverse menu actually rocks!! We had around 15 pax for dinner which we had to reserve 2 days in advance cause they are so busy. They allowed us to bring our cake since we were celebrating and also hard liquor free of charge. They only sell wine and beer. There was a fire dancer who performed and we generally gave him some cash. They set up a table on the beach specially for us. Staff was friendly and accommodating.

    One of the worst experiences with service, and food portions both last Saturday. Food portion wise, we ordered large ones, but it's really small sized, earlier barracuda used to give ample portions for the price, but now they have increased the rates and reduced the quantity also. Very disappointed. Also the service messed up our orders l. Every time time they will bring up something we didn't order at all. Food is tasty as always. But cannot enjoy thinking we have to order again and again and when we ask something to bring to table utensils or menu. It never comes, have to keep reminding. Quality of old barracuda is done. Never going there again.. Just will be visiting restaurants next to it. They offer better services.

    Best place to have a dinner with friends or family with music and sea breeze. Friendly staff. Good selection of Thai, Chinese and Sri Lankan foods with local spices. It's better to reserve tables in advance on weekends.

  • 4/5 Asiri D. 1 year ago on Google
    Great location to have a drink and relax. Usually very crowded. So better make a reservation before you go! Its at the beach, so the vibe is excellent Food is highly recommended. Great taste for great value. They have a band or DJ playing on weekends. Their service is a bit slow since the place gets super busy. And its super difficult to get a waiter to order! Roadside parking! Small bathrooms. Its BYOB. Ample sitting space.

    Terrible customer service. Prices displayed in the menu are incorrect. When I inquired the prices also they mentioned that the prices on the menu are correct. And later on brings a bill with prices higher than what was displayed on the menu. Terrible customer service as well. Had to wait a long time to even bring the food and menu when requested. Chillie paste was brought when we had almost finished the rice. Staff was not friendly as well. When I talked about the price change they understood that it was there mistake but did not do anything about it or did not refund the money. Doesn't recommend this place. Only good thing was the ambience and food portion was reasonable.

    Great location by the beach. Spacious and nice ambiance. Friendly and good staff. Alcohol is not very expensive. A huge menu with a broad variety of food. A reservation is recommended if you need a good table in the beach. Recently me and my partner had the Barracuda Mixed Grill (meat) and the experience wasn’t very pleasant. There were many chicken parts (hearts & liver) and did not taste good. Beef and the lamb tasted old and chewy.

    A nice bar and dining space in Colombo. We can park vehicles 🚗 in the roadside. You need to be careful when you cross the railroad 🛤, because it is difficult to recognize approaching trains. Foods are really tasty 😋. I would like to recommend the soft beverages here, apple 🍏 juice and lime juice are the best. At night, there sing 🎵 gentle songs.

    Nice vibe. Busy place . Service is fine but need more hand to serve. Food is good most of the time but some foods needs improvement. I ordered grilled chicken breast and good portion size but not marinated well and too much salt. But all other food is good and can recommend.

    Great spot, service is ok but they are not Welcoming. Food is great, I asked for Shisha and he wasn’t sure when they will come as they outsource the Shisha. You also have to buy food and drink to have Shisha. This place has a lot of review but luck of attention to detail is missing for customers here. Would visit for food only. Forced me to pay service charge, manager did not want to talk about in how he could have provided better service.

    "I encountered some trouble finding our reserved table last visit as the staff seemed unaware of it. Luckily, the manager swiftly resolved the issue and allocated a table for us. The food is consistently excellent, and the overall atmosphere is enjoyable. I visit this place regularly—it's perfect for grabbing a beer with friends or having a lovely dinner with loved ones."

    Food was above average. Extremely satisfied with the quality, portion size and value. Staff service was lacking and they were not very attentive. Music was too loud and it negatively impacted my experience. All in all, a pretty good experience.

    A concept that hasn't changed much in the last decade because it doesn't need to. A place to come with family or friends and have a nice family style (Sri Lankan-Chinese) meal with shared food platters and bites. BYOB with no corkage so long as your food bill is reasonable. Sit inside the wooden rafters or out on the beach. Live music on the weekends

    3.5 stars. Great location next to the beach. But it is not a high end place. The food and beer is good. The staff is courteous but service not exactly quick. The entrance is quite odd. You need to cross railway tracks to get into the restaurant. Overall, not a based place to spend the evening

    Beautiful setting on the beach shade with trees. You can find various types of sea food and many other stuff here. But the cocktails were not good for us and some foods were not worth for the price.. Food was expensive. Nice place to have a chill out with friends and family. Finally You will be surprised with bill (Vat + Service Charge).

  • 3/5 shy s. 2 years ago on Google
    Baraccuda's service has become meh compared to last year. waiters just give excuses when we request for seating arrangements in distance even when there is no reserved tables neither no much crowd. Most importantly I didn't see they are sanitizing the tables after each use. They just clean the stuff on the table to ground though a cloth and never see they practice hygiene while working around. I only see a handwashing and a thermometer near entrance with security who direct us to wash hands. but no QR code option... but on the other hand the food prices have gone up which is acceptable if they are practicing the health requirements and service well to maintain the cleanliness. I agree on cost of changes in some food items but not all affect. it was like unfair when ordering for two. even though we need to order several items we cannot think of it due to the same high flat rate applied to all items. portions are well served for groups but not for two. one of my favorite place but feeling disappointed. not recommended especially during covid spreading environment like this. hope they will improve.

    One of the best places for sea food delicacies. Food is delicious and place has nice ambiance. On the beach dining option is available and best during dusk. Band is there to provide live music. This place could get crowded during weekends. Price is not too expensive. Staff is friendly and efficiently provide service. Good place to chill and relax listening to music.

    I got a chance to spend that evening together with her.. Wow place.. anyone will be warmly welcomed by Baracuda but food wasn't up to my expected standard. Calm quiet sandy beach and whistling wind gave us life. Moreover they're really concerned about our safe side..for that they already have guards even to check whether there's trains coming on railway.to confirm safety when crossings. No parking space available. You just have to park along the road.

    Date: 10/4/2021. Time: evening around 5:30pm. Yesterday, we had a disappointing experience at Barracuda Restaurant. We were planning to spend the entire night at Barracuda upon seeing the pictures, until the moment we left as soon as we experience a bad time. Not just the service was very slow, we were mislead by the servers to think that the Mixed Grill plater will have plenty of meat items. Unfortunately, when the food arrived, it was barely enough for 1 person because it had 1 sausage, couple of small pieces of liver, 1 half boiled egg and other burnt meat underneath which we couldn't figure out what it was and the half of the plater was covered in vegetables. We immediately requested the manager at that it was around 6:30 pm. When the manager arrived, we were surprised to see how he was acting. I don't know whether this gentleman was under the influence of alcohol or what, but clearly he was not responsive with answers. When we asked the manager, why in the menu it clearly says meat plater and the meat mentioned is clearly described in plural form as in sausages etc but in reality it was just 1 sausage. His response was this is the standard size whether you like it or not. Then I ask do you really think this mixed grilled meat plater is enough for 3 people as your server described. His response was, "I can give you more vegetable or salad to cover up the lose". So I immediately said to the manager, what you are doing is very bad. You gave the impression that we will get a load of meat but the portion of mixed grill plater worth Rs. 3200 is only enough for 1 person. It is unfair and unjust. We didn't want this incident to ruin our mood and destroy our night so we immediately requested for Bill, paid and left. While we were leaving the server and security asked us to make a review so the owner apparently, Gihan Bandara would read this and take it seriously. For love of God please avoid this place at all cost. There are better places next to this establishment which take care of the customers way better and at a reasonable cost. I have attached the receipt of the bill and picture of the plater. I feel like we got scammed. I will never come to this place and I will make sure that my friends avoid Barracuda as well.

    At the time we visited, the place was not too crowded. They stop serving liquor around 2pm and starts again around 5pm. The location is nice. We ordered some dishes for the bites and a fried rice. The hot butter cuttlefish was good. The chicken deviled was too bad. Not happy with the customer service.

    One of the busy and cozy places in Dehiwala to hangout with friends or a loved one. Better to book a table before getting there on weekends, as the place tend to get crowded. Restaurant is just by the sea, and any one is welcomed to get their feet wet on the beach. Food is great with a high variety, you can get anything you prefer straight from the grill. Music is provided by live artists who play classics all night, one of the best additions for a lovely time. Personally felt that the cocktails and the pitcher could improve a little, other than that everything was spot on.

    This is the third time I've been here. We ordered Seafood Nasigoreng , Vermosilli Noodles (seafood), Chilli Chicken and Battered Pork dishes. The portions are very good and the food is delicious. Preparation time was around 30-40mins for all the dishes in total. Food dishes have reasonable prices, although the beverages are highly overrated.

    One of my favourite beach bar in Marine Drive. Good sea food. Sea breeze. Nice live music 🎶 every night. Friendly staff. Assist to crossing railway is very appreciated! Not standing up for neighbourhood business is a bit pity. Guess you remember that incident 1st of January 😪

    Had a delicious dinner with family. There's nobody to beat their seafood menu. Tried there Crab with Sarai sause and king prawns. Both are their speciality and didn't disappoint us.

  • 5/5 Shehan F. 2 months ago on Google • 20 reviews New
    Price was expensive (especially for one person - I would say best to go with someone to share the price) but you get what you pay for: Amazing view to the beach, nice atmosphere (especially at night, when you have a live band - unfortunately did not experience this but I did see it) and great food that constantly reminds you of great taste in Sri Lanka (especially on the seafood area). Would come back again, if only I had more money 😭

    Good food. But to our surprise one of the staff members asked for our Johnnie Walker Black bottle which had about 1/4 left over drinks. We politely gave it to that person. It's a funny incident. But if this is something that they do as a habit somebody should take an action I believe.

  • 5/5 yathev b. 3 years ago on Google
    This has been serving wonderful Thai, Chinese and grilled seafood for almost 4 years now. The ambience is just what you need to relax your mind and enjoy a hearty meal. It’s a restaurant situated amidst screw pine trees. The view that you see is that of the sea and the sky changing with time, adding color to the experience. The chairs are set under the trees, under sheds and also on the coast. Dinner is served under candle light and also fire torches lighting the sand. The food is on point. The perfect dishes with probably the best chefs. Hot butter cuttlefish is one of their expertise. The sweet corn soup is lovely and fills your heart. The main dishes are mouthwatering and the best in Dehiwala. The staff are very friendly and professional. They greet you with a smile and are always ready to make the stay comfortable. Earlier they did not serve alcoholic beverages but the customers were allowed to bring in their own. Now they’ve started serving alcohol. A mug of Carlsberg beer is priced at 275/- and so on. They have Shisha as well the usual flavors, priced at 1600/-. There’s ample amount of parking on the Marie drive guarded by the restaurant management. It’s better to reserve a table over the phone before visiting it as it’s mostly packed.

    Barracuda is a well known beach side restaurant in Colombo. We went on a Poya day evening so they didn’t have any liquor options. But their mock tails were good. I highly recommend their hot butter cuttlefish. It was so yummy 😋 This is a nice place to watch the sun set while zipping a beer. The restaurant start getting crowded after 6.30 or 7 in the evening. Prices are reasonable but staff wasn’t fully attending to serve us and we had to give them reminders

  • 5/5 Sahan V. 4 years ago on Google
    The restaurant is situated in a beautiful and a calm place. The staff is very friendly and always available to support you. The food is great and personally I loved it. The liquor is served after 5 pm. The prices are little bit expensive but reasonable. Also, you can go for a walk in the beach as the restaurant is situated adjecent to the beach as well. So that is a bonus point. I recommend this place.

    Super place. Food and service was great. You can take liquor there. And the best thing is Frank David the singer and his band Frank and musix. It was superb. He can play and sing what ever you like. Me and my wife go there because of him and the food. And the sisha. Have fun guys. Frank will entertain you till midnight. Very friendly person.

    It's also perfect atmosphere and food tastes good as well. Prices are very high compared to the taste and the quantity though. It's great to have dinner or a evening meal with the beach view and breeze.

    Food is great. Drinks are a bit overpriced and currently have an added surcharge. Ambience is good, however people started to dance to the band despite a signpost prohibiting it!

    The food was amazing. We ordered Nasi Goreng it was a big portion but the taste was fantastic and we also ordered Chicken Alfredo Pasta which was very creamy and delicious. Alcohol is slightly higher priced but over all a great and memorable experience. Waiters were really humble and professional service was given. Best to go as a group of friends or for a nice romantic date night😁

    Amazing food and ambience. Everything that we ordered was great. The must try from our choices were Nasi goreng, Mongolian chicken wings. However the seafood sizzler was priced on the higher side. Otherwise the overall menu was cost effective as the quantity was sufficient.

    Not had the greatest experience at my first visit at the end of 2021. The waiter was clearly drunk and messed up our order. He even lost the debit card we used to settle the bill. We found it lying in the floor at the cashier. The food is good. It was the only reason to have good impression at the first time.

  • 5/5 Diluxshan V. 2 years ago on Google
    Actually its a Good place for Dinner out. The dishes are delicious and tasty. No doubts on the taste. And customer handling is high. Note : Better call them and reserve a table for your time. (Mostly it will full around 9pm) Much recommend place.

  • 4/5 Andrew W. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice spot for dinner on the beach. We had black pepper crab, grilled king prawns, and a seafood hotpot. Crab was excellent, though the prawns were not as big as one might expect. Bottled water is expensive though!

  • 5/5 praneeth i. 2 years ago on Google
    I visited with my office colleagues. It's super place to go for a dinner out with the partner also. They Play a music band in there. Foods are quality and tasty. Prices are in a high. Good place to have 🍷🍻 drinks And Great view with evening sunset Food are okay and tasty They have indoor and outdoor seating They are providing beach tables as well. Can recommend here !!

  • 5/5 Upeksha P. 1 year ago on Google
    Tried out them again on a Friday night. Must commend their customer service, they’re kind and attentive. Food is reasonably priced. We ordered dynamite fries and spring rolls as starters, they were mouth watering. Malaysian fried rice was also nice along with Pepper black chicken and kakun. Loved the seating area outside to watch the sunset and enjoy some drinks. This would be my favorite beach restaurant.

  • 4/5 Mayuran T. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good environment, next to the beach. They provide variety of foods. Specially sea foods. We can order chicken, beef, pork as well. Very friendly staff. The price is affordable even in small portion is enough for two people. We ordered seafood fried rice with pineapple 🍍, contents of the seafood and pineapple are okay but the taste is not that much good. And hot butter cuttlefish also not that much taste. It's taste like fried flour. Fresh juice is good. I'm not sure about other foods. They are playing live musical instruments as well. So we can enjoy our food with nice music 🎶. No need to book or reserve the place for have lunch but for dinner it's good to reserve. You can see the price list of the food from their website as well. Our one seafood 🦞 fried rice 🍚 with pineapple 🍍 cost around 1500rs small portion. Much enough for two people. And hot butter 🧈 cuttlefish cost 1500rs small portion. Fresh Mango juice 🥤 cost 400 each.

  • 5/5 Karan S. 11 months ago on Google
    Amazon food, try the srilanka crab and cutlery fish. The fried rice for vegetarians is also nice option. Try the mango mint flavour in shisha. Overall good vibe with live music and sports projector. Best for chill evening with friends and family.

    We heard a lot about many famous restaurant and bar in Colombo but we wanted to have really an open air place facing the sea and enjoy some good sea food and local breweries. This place had exactly what we had in our mind to experience. Dining Rea - Amazingly natural and they have a huge place spread over for dining area segregated in different sections. Indoor and outdoor seating facilities are available. Menu - Food menu planning is nicely done and have ample of choices starting from appetizers, mains, grill, sizzlers, dessert and more. The menu is not only restricted to seafood but other cuisines & dishes are available as well. Vegetarians please don't get upset. You have choices as well. Beverage - good and wide selection of beverages - alcoholic and non-alcoholic both and priced reasonably. Staff - Quick and efficient enough. We had a service person who speaks a bit of our language and tried to impress us. That's nice of him. Tips - Tipping is not mandatory as they have 10% service charge on the total bill but it's upto you and depends on your generous pocket. Overall - A must visit place. It surely gives you a feeling of sea side shack if you are seating outdoor. They have an evening live music as well - not sure everyday or not but it was there on Sunday evening.
