    We had an amazing meal here after a long day of sight seeing with our tuktuk driver. The curry and rice meals tasted authentic and home made. A cold Tiger beer washed it all down. I appreciated the no-nonsense style. It’s not set up to cater to hipsters or overly touristy. It’s just a tasteful restaurant that is clean and well staffed, and happens to make excellent food! The view of the river is the real winner here. When we came for lunch, it was relatively quiet and such a treat to eat with that view. Something else to note is that the bathrooms were clean. Not always the case, and I believe it says a lot about a place. I hope the owner keeps all of these qualities going, as it’ll surely draw more and more customers if they do.

    Most important thing is they don't accept Credit or Debit cards. Cash only. Food & service was very good. You will get a awesome view when you are dining in this restaurant.

    The atmosphere is calming and the river makes the place scenic especially near the windows. The service was satisfactory and he tried his best to make us feel welcomed and content. The food was fine. Bit too much turmeric in the biryani. Also they tried to charge us the same price for the vegetable biryani and the chicken biryani (even when the vegetable biryani is the same plate without the chicken and the egg). However when we inquired about it they gave us a reduced price for it without making a big fuss. Overall the experience was satisfactory and I would recommend this place if you want a scenic dining experience with food that is somewhat overpriced.

    An OK tourist restaurant, food is alright for Sri Lanka, prices around 2000 LKR per meal, inside is quite clean, but personel could be nicer, like smile a bit or so.

    Decent tourist place with great views! I liked that dish with gourd. Generally speaking the restaurant is okay, so it's more about the views!

    Beautiful view overlooking the river. We had the rice and curry - good flavor and variety of curries. We had asked if they had Brinjal - and they were able to add that to our meal.

  • 5/5 Kaizad C. 5 years ago on Google
    Our tuktuk driver brought us here after a day of sightseeing for lunch. We were very delighted as the place is beautiful with amazing views of the river. The ambience is decent and very clean. The staff were all friendly and very helpful in describing the menu items. We ordered the fish curry rice and chicken curry rice and along with which they served us 4 types of vegetable dishes and daal and papads. All the food was delicious with very generous portions. One of the vegetable dishes was vine mango which was something new for us and it was lovely. They also have a great selection of drinks as well. Great place for a meal with ample portions of good food and beer, great views and impeccable service. Not very expensive either (Meal for 2 with a couple beers cost us about 2500LKR approx. 15USD)

    The food was just okay. We ordered Vegetarian fried rice and spring rolls. The fried rice was oily and was not tasty. But the spring rolls were good. The quantity was less and price was more on the higher side.

  • 3/5 Bryce R. 1 year ago on Google
    The portion size was not good and was therefore overpriced, the food tastes good, service was mediocre. Probably wouldn't recommend it to others unless it's new years and no other place is open.

  • 4/5 Glenn M. 1 year ago on Google
    Good food selection on the river. Tasty - can be on the high side for Kandy but the views make up for it.

  • 5/5 James H. 1 year ago on Google
    Rice and curry lunch was great - banana blossom Sambal was of particular note! Fried rice also too notch. Nice location on the river, close to botanical gardens.

  • 4/5 Dr.Abhijit B. 2 years ago on Google
    Very busy restaurant with good food

  • 4/5 Ian P. 6 years ago on Google
    Food was good and enjoyable, we got the curry set dish (only Sri Lankan dish) which contains about 5 different dishes, 1 of them meat. 1 curry set is enough for 2, just get an extra serve of rice. Menu also includes western food. Good service, very polite and helpful. Also nice view of the river and mountains if you dine on the balcony. Only downside would be the price, its tourist pricing plus a 10% surcharge.

😠 Looking at the store, there is no standard. The food does not taste good. They do not know how to put three or five chilies in the food properly. If you take full rice, the portion is not enough for each person. I do not approve especially for foreign tourists. Not recommended for domestic tourists...
