Nautilus Cafe Bar

Restaurant

👍👍 These cocktails are out of this world and the food smells and looks amazing. I'll leave another review once I've tasted it. 😉 Edit: ok tasted the food now and it's amazing. Partner had the SL curry and I had the grilled Prawns, both really tasty. Some of the best food and drinks in Unawatuna. People often mention good, service, staff, Good, delicious, tasty, prices, Unawatuna, nice, great,

    Tasty food, but disgusting diluted with water and sugar juices. The waiter said that a small orange goes to a glass of "juice", the rest is water. Avocado juice was wildly sweet 😥

    Really good place for the price, the food amazing, for me one of the best kottu rotti I've had in sri lanka. The design is nice, the service is kind and with a smile. Is next to the beach so good for breakfast, also close to a lot of hotels so good for dinner. I liked it personally, I'm coming back.

  • 2/5 Monica O. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Nice staff, kids ordered ice cream which was absolutely ok. We adults ordered a mojito that tasted evil sudden death. The gasoline flavor did not work for chicks and the drink was probably the worst I ever drank. Kostade 600rn. We never ate there so I can not say anything about it. But if you do not want to go out with worse eyesight than when you entered, avoid the drinks. (Original) Trevlig personal, barnen beställde glass som var helt ok. Vi vuxna beställde en mojito som smakade ond bråd död. Den bensinsmaken gick inte av för hackor och drinken var nog den värsta jag druckit någonsin. Kostade 600rn. Vi åt aldrig där så jag kan inte säga något om den. Men om ni inte vill gå ut med sämre syn än när ni kom in, undvik drinkarna.

  • 5/5 Людмила �. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I liked the place very much. Had dinner here several times. Everything is delicious, the seafood pizza is the tastiest we've ever tasted in Unawatuna. Prices are quite reasonable, lower than on the beach line. Nice interior, everything is neat and tidy. Recommend! (Original) Очень понравилось заведение. Ужинали здесь несколько раз. Все очень вкусно, пицца из морепродуктов самая вкусная из всего что мы пробовали в Унаватуне. Цены вполне приемлемые, ниже чем на пляжной линии. Симпатичный интерьер, все чистенько, аккуратно. Рекомендую!

    Fast service, fast waiters. We ordered 1kg of prawns with rice and salads for two person. It was delicious!! But, pineapple juice has a lot of water(((

  • 4/5 Neil S. 2 years ago on Google
    I’d give these guys 4.5 if I could. The food is cheap and very tasty. The best meal we had was the whole kilogram of prawns with rice and salad between two of us. Was delicious

  • 3/5 rohit n. 5 years ago on Google
    The portions here are very small and the prices are high. The staff is kind but service is not great. There are good chances that you might not get what you ordered. When we were there 2 out of 3 table, including ours, did get what was ordered. While the waiter changed the dish immediately, but the slow service will almost starve you to death. It took 40 mins to make an porched eggs and potato fries, while only 20% if the tables were occupied.

    Good taste, but low volume for TomYam (1 prawn and 1-2 pcs calamary) and Noodles. Pasta was good taste and volume. Friend recommends prawns in this place, but have not tested yet.

    Pretty good breakfast spot. Nice decor, cool interior provides respite from the heat. The server was very helpful and friendly. Big serves of cornflakes. Yellow Dahl was amazing. The muesli was more of fruit salad with a few flakes sprinkled on top but still tasty. Good milkshakes and tea.

  • 3/5 Сергей �. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We went to have a snack. Prices are slightly higher than their neighbors. What's not good - on the menu, which on the street they are lower than in fact. The menu does not say that there is 10% service. As a result, it is 50% more expensive than in a similar establishment. Staff are good They didn't take extra money for the sunbed. (Original) Зайшли перекусить. Цены чуть выше соседей. Что не хорошо - на меню, которые на улице они ниже чем по факту. В меню не написано, что есть 10% сервис. В результате на 50% дороже чем в аналогичном заведении. Персонал хороший За лежак дополнительно денег не взяли.

    Cute bar, great drinks, however, the service is not that great. We went here to get drinks on a weekday night. It was not that crowded and had a nice ambience.

  • 4/5 Chris C. 7 years ago on Google
    Tasty and good food. Very nice ambience and friendly staff. Unfortunately we had to wait about 35 minutes for our food, even if there were only like 8 persons in the restaurant. But if you're not in a hurry go there! Fair prices!
