    All the food taste the same and was dicusting. They don't add any spices, u should ask even for a chilli paste. Fish was completely dried i couldn't eat it. They make food one by one so u have to wait veeeeery long even for a simple friut juice. This restaurant is some joke rly. The staff over there is very rude. When i said about the fish guy started arguing with me. I highly don't recomend this place.

    Extremely disappointed in their service. Walked in with family (who are Swedes) and received death stares from everyone dining and waiters. Asked the closest waiter if we could get a table and instead of saying locals aren’t allowed, very rudely directed us towards the cashier- who was also Sri Lankan and wasn’t very fluent in English. Asked for a table in Sinhalese but replied in broken English. At least speak in Sinhala and make your life easier. And if you don’t want locals in your restaurant, put a sign saying so. It’s 2023 and all I say is grow the f*k up. Disgusting behaviour.

    Worst kind of people i have ever met. Did not even went into the place just asked to to reverse into so we can turn around and go (due to traffic) Pradeep the owner it self scolded us with bad words that I haven’t even heard of. in front of my 03 year old. Even after i said sorry to him several times it seems he was drunk so baldly. Being local the way treated us we can’t imagine how they treat foreigners. With that kind of attitude Im not surprised if he being dangerous to others.

    Very good food, dhal curry, prawns. And reasonable prices. Close to the beach but not on the beach. Quiet. Very good service. PS> On the other side rocks with beautiful view.

    Chef Hirushan and Himantha make delicious pizza here. Excellent place to watch the sundown. Note: Ask them about this view point. They will show the path.

    This place needs to be avoided. When you're serving based on the colour of the skin, that's being racist and when the owner himself is a mannerless fellow you can't expect much from that place. If you are only serving some, then you should display it in a polite manner. That's if you even know the meanings of being polite and customer service. Yes, it might be your business and you've spent your money on it, but that's not an excuse to treat people badly, especially your customers as they are visiting your place to have some quality time with their loved ones. After going through reviews I realized this was not a single incident and that's how they have been doing 'their business'. Such a shame to have these types of businesses in this beautiful country. You are not only ruining your business but also the country's reputation. Next time when you say that there's not much income from tourism, remember that you were a part of the problem. TLDR - Visit the place if you only support racism and that too at your own risk. If any incident occurs you'll be welcoming yourself into a world of profanity and thuggery. There are several similar incidents, including one as early as 7 years ago. Their shameless and disgusting way of doing business should be discouraged.

    What an amazing place! It's not far from the beach and offers delicious home-cooked food and drinks. I suggest calling ahead because they have limited seating. The food is excellent, making it one of the best places in Unawatuna.

    Fresh orange juice, it's one orange, water, sugar and that's all. Don't waste your money here.

  • 5/5 Mark G. 6 months ago on Google
    Love this place! Food is as good as anywhere in the area - very reasonably priced with good portion sizes! There are also a few monkeys that play in the trees above the restaurant and the staff will kindly give you a banana to feed them 😅

    The best veg curry i have eaten in sri lanka. We orded four dishes, all were amazing. So much flavour and very reasonably priced. Would recommend.

  • 5/5 Ульяна �. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place, welcoming people work there. Prices're good, food's tasty, portions are pretty big, one dish is enough to be full. Waiting time is approximately 10-15 minutes. Recommended P.S. they always gave us small sweet bananas as a gift, so cute :3

    Very bad service, they saw us when we came in and sit , but for unknown reason nobody came bring us the menu so after have lost 15 minutes of the evening we left. This is a restaurant as some others in Unawatuna where you are only welcomed if you are russians and this kind of behavior seriously need to stop. ... !!

  • 5/5 Valeria D. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good. I ordered grilled calamari with salad and French fries. The taste was perfect, even sauce. Also they cooked dinner not more than 15 minutes. Friendly relax atmosphere, natural design. I will recommend this place as one of the tastiest in Unawatuna
