    Food was good and view, just spectacular, especially in the evening and being right on the beach. Tables available outdoor right on the beachfront on a raised area. Service a little slow as was very busy. No AC or fan inside to quite hot and sticky. Overall a very enjoyable meal and would return again. Prices a little on the high side, but normal for the area.

    A nice beach restaurant tucked away behind the main road. Food was good and the portions were big. We had the tempurada prawns, the calamari and the rice and curry and all were very tasty. Prices are a bit more expensive than other restaurants but in line with most of the beach locations. The menu is massive! Staff are nice and friendly. Recommended.

    Food is comparatively good and well presented for a restaurant around here. Very affordable prices. The view is awesome. This is literally on the edge of the beach and you can enter the restaurant from the beach too. They offer candlelight dining at night and it's a wonderful experience. Service is also nice and there's nothing to complain.

    (Translated by Google) Nice view, the food is tasty but nothing special. For once for dinner. WiFi and napkins (the first time brought from all the cafes) (Original) Хороший вид, еда вкусная но ничего особенного. На разок по ужинать. WiFi есть и салфетки (первый раз принесли из всех кафешек)

    Went today order some meal to dine in with my friends. When we asked them, they said their tables are all filled when we can clearly see there are so many tables left. Think they judge people by how they wear and appearance. Next time if you want to dine in, make sure to go to the place by car. They only serve that kind of people. Not who comes to the restaurant on foot while wearing shorts and slippers. Never ever gonna put my foot in this restaurant again.

  • 4/5 Nathelie M. 5 years ago on Google
    This is a really good seafood restaurant with a beach view. We had the seafood special which is about £30, it was amount of wonderful food! It was so tasty! Highly recommend. The reason for the 4 stars is because we went there a few days ago and had seafood fried rice. The seafood element in that dish was over cooked and rubbery. I think their specialty is fresh seafood grill, not the other simpler things.

  • 3/5 Konstantinos M. 4 years ago on Google
    We read some reviews of this place and we decided to come by. The first day we ordered some seafood and everything was really very nice. We decided to come back later, as the first time it was really very tasty. We ordered the seafood plate for 2 persons. They told us that everything was fresh and we would enjoyed it. Although, as a seafood restaurant owners, we were really disappointed. The lobster was really smelling bad and being not fresh at all as well as some of the shrimps and calamari. The service is really very nice with the waiters trying to make you feel comfortable enough and enjoy your meal. The prices are normal for Sri Lanka as we paid around 6.000 RPS about approximately 35 euros for two. Attention in the kitchen and in your products are the advices from us!

    We hit this place for seafood. Taste was not very impressive. We tried the mixed seafood platter. The best part is the location and access to the beach. We had a walk along the beach while preparing our meal.

    It was an ok experience. Nothing crazy. I ordered the devilled king prawns and they were definitely not king size. Absolutely tiny. So be careful of that.

  • 1/5 Yana Z. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) On the beach, a good place to enjoy the sunsets, this is all positive. I am duplicated in Russian. 10% service charge is added to your bill. Our waiter confused dishes, brought not what was ordered. Kitchen - all on the hell. Do not expect to eat pasta or any other European dish here. I think they didn’t see Parmesan or Feta cheese in my eyes. Yes, and local dishes are not impressive. Go to a cheaper place, where the locals cook with a bang! (Original) На берегу, хорошее место для наслаждением закатами, этом из положительного все. Меня дублируется на русском языке. 10% за обслуживание плюсуются к вашему счету. Наш официант путал блюда, приносил не то, что заказывали. Кухня - все на отвали. Не надейтесь поесть здесь пасту или любое другое европейское блюдо. Пармезана или сыра Фета они вообще, мне кажется, в глаза не видели. Да и местные блюда не впечатляют. Сходите в более дешевое место, там местные готовят на ура!

Обязательно еще сюда вернемся.

    (Translated by Google) Great place right on the beach, helpful staff, delicious shrimp. Were no longer in one institution, it is still a favorite. I had to wait a bit, the institution was filled to capacity. Very tasty juice, undiluted. Count on a 10% tip; they are included in the bill. (Original) Отличное место прям на берегу, персонал внимательный, очень вкусные креветки. Были уже не в одном заведении, это пока фаворит. Немного пришлось подождать, заведение заполнено до отказа. Очень вкусный сок, неразбавленный. Расчитывайте на 10% чаевых, они включены в счет

    Nice view. Bad food. I ordered a shark steak which tasted like sugar. Cocktail tastes like sugar. And yes, veggies that came with all this sugar were carrots and potatoes.

  • 2/5 Mateusz R. 6 months ago on Google
    Very nicely located place, right on the beach, friendly staff so its nothing to complain about the service. As for the dishes, they were just weak, the coating in the squid was hard, fried in old oil I think, the same with the fried chicken. Prices inadequate for the quality.

    Very good food and super friendly service. I enjoyed a vegetarian curry and can highly recommend it. I ordered it slightly spicy which has been perfect for my medium spicy taste :)

  • 5/5 Hesara M. 4 years ago on Google
    Fresh and delicious seafood!!! Reasonably priced compared to colombo. We were greeted by a pleasant waiting boy who went out of his way to serve us. Coordinated with the chef before even we requested and catered to our needs. On his recommendation we ordered the seafood platter which was absolutely delicious but the mussels and the octopus were bit overcooked therefore would rate the platter a 4. We also ordered a cheese toast with mushrooms bacon and egg which was 5star. And to finish off we ordered 1kg of medium prawns with garlic sauce which was a the banger as we whacked the prawns. They were so fresh and sweet. All in all the money was well spent. We were just 4 who ate all that and ordered alcohol beverages. The total came up to rs. 12,000 highly recommend this place. Waaay too underrated
