    A decent restaurant by the Mt. Lavinia beach. They offer a range of cuisine at reasonable rates. Staff is helpful and extends a good customer service. The place is not so spacious, but they have managed to provide both indoor and outdoor seating facilities. Great place for groups or a casual night.

    it was a perfect meal on the sand. we ordered 2 dishes, the main course - seafood collection, colorful and wonderful taste in everything on the plate; & the salad - cesar salad (serve with chicken), amazingly tasty with the special cheese source and the chicken. both dishes are amazing from their look to taste. highly recommended!

    (Translated by Google) Hello everyone from sunny Sri Lanka. We had a rest in this restaurant with friends, what impressions about him, cozy, quiet view, not bad design, good service, the polite and attentive guys speak good English and Russian. On the beach, free deck chairs with a table, we had a very good time, I really liked it. Would recommend this restaurant to everyone. (Original) Всем привет из солнечной Шри-Ланки. Отдыхали в этом ресторане с друзьями, какие впечатления о нем, уютное, спокойное завидение, не плохой дизайн, хорошее обслуживание, ребята вежливые и внимательные хорошо говорят на английском и русском языках. На пляже бесплатные шезлонги со столиком, мы очень хорошо провели время, мне очень понравилось. Рекомендую всем этот ресторан.

    Ate here each lunch time of our 3 night stay in Mount Lavinia. Tharaka tempted us in on the first day and was an excellent host welcoming us everyday. We always shared a meal with a couple of cold glasses of wine for me and cans of beer for my husband. The bill was around 5555 each time and they accept credit cards. Food was fresh, hot and tasty with Nasi Goreng a particular favourite. The beach front location cannot be beaten. Highly recommended. Thanks to Tharaka.

    Not a good place to go. If you go there please bring your home chairs to there. Because they charge 250lkr for each chair. Foods also not good taste. Food servings also too late. We had so many bad experiences there

    Had a great morning and early afternoon at Shelton! Kind service (especially by Tharaka), good coffee and tea, and great food; we particularly loved the grilled barramundi.

  • 5/5 Christian S. 4 years ago on Google
    If you want to spend a lazy day at the beach, this the right place to stay. Ranjith and his team are very friendly and helpful people. They offer snacks, as well as other tasty food for lunch or dinner. We have been there very often and were never disappointed .

  • 1/5 jake s. 4 years ago on Google
    First time leaving a review, wish it could be more positive! Woefully bad...Frozen and massively overcooked shrimp and “cuttlefish”, no salt nor even an attempt to season the potatoes and the “deviled sausage” was overcooked hot dogs smothered in sweet and sour sauce. In their defence; great view of the beach, nice staff and it doesn’t seem like this beach is stacked with better options. Going to leave a positive review elsewhere for good juju 🤟🏽

    (Translated by Google) Service fee + 10%, and so delicious, curry is islet (they themselves did not say that without spicy) the children ate everything. One star was removed after that by Jan (it seemed to me that the broth was stupidly from ketchup) (Original) Сервисный сбор + 10 %, а так вкусно, карри островато ( сами не сказали, чтобы без спайси) дети всё съели. Одну звезду убрал за том Ян ( мне показалось, что бульон тупо из кетчупа)

    (Translated by Google) lovely place; Wonderful food and nice people. they have lovely dogs in best physical condition. you can have a swim without concerning about the laguage. Also having a shower is possible after a swim. german: We only had half board and high waves in Mount Lavinia and went there to swim. the waves breaking on the beach of the hotel were more dangerous and swimming was prohibited. Swimming on the public beach, where the restaurant is, wasn't so dangerous as the waves were already breaking further back. if you look to the sea, it is the first restaurant on the right of the hotel. the food is very, very good, the men speak very good English, one even very good German, because he was 23 years in switzerland: they have 4 dogs that are very nice and very well cared for (some swedish female soul is neutered for free as we find out to have). if you want to swim you can use their loungers and don't have to worry about things. toilet and fresh water shower are also there. (Original) lovely place; wondferful Food and nice People. they have lovely Dogs in best physical condition. you can have a swim without concerning about the laguage. also having a shower is possible after a swim. german: wir hatten im Mount lavinia nur Halbpension und hohen Wellengang und sind dorthin um zu baden. die wellen brechen am strand des hotels gefährlicher und schwimmen war verboten. am öffentlichen strand, wo das restaurant ist, war das schwimmen nicht so gefährlich, da die wellen weiter hinten schon brechen. es ist - blickt man zum meer- das erste restaurant rechts vom hotel. das essen ist sehr sehr gut, die Männer sprechen sehr gut englisch, einer sogar sehr gutes deutsch, weiler 23 jahre in der schweiz war: sie haben 4 Hunde, die sehr lieb sind und sehr gepflegt (irgendeine schwedische weibliche seele kastriert gratis wie wir erfahren haben). wenn man schwimmen will, kann man ihre liegen benutzen und muss sich keine sorgen um die Sachen machen. toilette und süßwasserdusche ist auch da.
