    We managed to pre order and pickup Hopers this time. We got plain, egg and milk hoppers and all are great. Highly recommended. Always call and check if they are doing hoppers to avoid disapointments. (Previous Rating) Went here for the Hoppers. Unfortunately the Hopper maker is not present so went for the Kothu. The kothu is good. The place is popular for its Hoppers and crowded at night. As it is with Galle road, parking may not be available all the time.

    One of the best places to have tasty appams (hoppers). Plain and milk appams are crispy and delicious. Chicken chettinad curry was good too. The atmosphere was reasonably good and the service was fine.

    Better than the lot of other restaurants in the vicinity. Air-conditioned restaurant. GOOD FOR HOPPERS Don't go on a Sunday afternoon for lunch. Last Sunday, it took 1 hour to get the orderd food to our table . Ambience is good with soft music. Prices are reasonable. For 2 pax, it will be under Rs 2,000. Food potions could be improved. Full kottu is not enough for 2 adults. We ordered Honey hoppers but we got Jaggery Hoppers. The manager is a friendly person. Service could be improved. It takes about 15mins for your food to arrive (even for hoppers) Seating could be changed to a 2-seater than a 4-seater. Ample seating for about 20 pax or so is available. Dont buy soft drinks here. Very high price. Soda is sold at a higher price here. A 250ml soda bottle has a marked price MRP of Rs 100 but billed at Rs 150. Likewise, MRP is Rs 330 but billed at Rs 420.

    I had a prawn briyani and it was wonderful! I'm quite a prawn fan and the prawn itself was crispy and meaty, absolutely tasty! 😋 Customer service was also brilliant!

    Good tasty food, acceptable for the price. but ordered Coca-Cola which actually worth 300 rupees but we paid 590 rupees which is unfair. Had some bad customer service experience like wrong orders taking too much time. Main issue is bad customer service. Taking service charges but not giving satisfied service.

    This resteraunt was amazing. The hoppers were evenly cooked and tasted very savory. The milk hoppers were the best I ever tasted. Other milk hoppers I tasted were too sweet and floppy while these were a perfect soft in the middle with not too much sweet. The passion fruit mojito was very nice but the mint gave it a weird after taste and I think it should have less mint but other than that it was very good. The watermelon juice was very nice but tasted a little less like juice and more like water. Give the watermelon juice some more flavors of different fruits too and it will be perfect. One of my favorites was the chicken 65. You can tell it was well marinated and was very juicy and savory. The customer service was amazing. The employees were very nice.

    Yesterday i ordered chicken fried rice large portion. They will charge 1100/- there is no gravy no chopsuey. They have spread few chicken pieces only with chillie paste. Not worth for the money. Even Royal Bakery provide fried rice with develled chicken, chop suey and chille paste. It's cheaper than from yours. Taste is also very good. Don't cheat like this. Fully disappointed.

    Ordered Cheese chicken kotthu , egg hoppers and plain hoppers. The kottu was perfect... without any doubt I would definitely recommend it to anyone. However, the hoppers took more than 40 mins to arrive, but the waiter was nice to tell us in advance it would take more than 30 minutes. The hoppers were definitely worth the wait ✋️ 👌 the hoppers were hot and crispy. My wife and I would definitely return... kudos to the friendly staff 👏

    Worse service. Today evening we ordered one milkshake and fresh juice. After 10 min they said, we don't have avacado. Then we ordered another juice and waited another 10min. That time the staff arrived with fruits. Such a worse service. Strongly recommending no to recommend this for anyone.

    Tonight i went to chef ceylon with my family. Previous resturant which was in the same location was very amazing,with that expectation we went there. The food was bad.we ordered a kothu,biriyani and fried noodles.No salt and spices! Less portion was not worth the price i paid. The milkshakes were not blended properly that i munched sugar pieces. Need more imporvment

    My cousin and I, we're two tamils who haven't visited Sri Lanka in over 18 and 10 years respectively. When we entered the restaurant we ordered something to go and were suprised by the warm and kind welcoming of the restaurant owner. The food was super delicious. It was in fact so good that we returned the next day with our whole family. Everyone loved the food, even my mom told the owner, that everything was cooked to perfection. He told us then, that everything is made from scratch without any additional artificial ingredients. And so does it taste! The entire experience was so lovely, I'd recommend this restaurant to everyone and we will be coming back when visiting Sri Lanka
