    The most delicious biriyani I have ever tried. Chicken special biriyani. It was a great experience

    One of my bucket list items to do in Jaffna. I went there with some friends for lunch and we got seated into the AC areas as the other area was crowded. The staff was friendly and explained the dishes. The portions were huge and we were glad that we didn't order more. There are signs inside the restaurant also asking people to order only what they can eat. The food was good and the price was ok as well.

    Hands down one of the best dining experiences I v ever had. This hotel is situated amidst the busy street in front of jaffna main market hence parking is very limited. It serves both veg and non veg meals. Piece is very reasonable. Staff is very friendly. Anyone can visit the back and see the kitchen, storage and everything and I can assure you they make your food very hygienically. I didn't expect such a cleanliness in jaffna. Toilets are also well maintained. There are two dining areas. To have meal in air conditioned area they charge additional 10% service charge which is quite reasonable. We ordered chicken buriyani which was top notch in terms of taste and portion size. They give you additional rice and curries without additional charges which was a very sweet touch. A must get dining experience for anyone who crosses this area.

    We were keeps on driving until get a good place to have lunch, finally a fuel station guy told us to try at Hotel Rolex (our intention was to have a authentic Jaffna biryani) but unfortunately the Hotel could not offer the Biriyani as we were so late to reach there. So we tried cattle fish fried rice and mix rice, it was deliciously taste as it has been cooked with gee oil. But the “vadda” was not taste as we expected Overall it’s nice experience

    One of the best place to eat a buriyani in Jaffna. They have buriyani named chicken, mutton, prawns, cuttlefish. Resonable prices and really good portions. They gave extra buriyani without any charge. Many of the workers are tamil speaking. If you are a sinhala speaking you should keep your communication well with them for a better service. The person who are in the cashier is really good man and he know the customer satisfaction well. Want to go again when visiting the jaffna.

    The waiter was having fun with some girls and we had to wait around 15 minutes to mark our order and had to wait 20 minutes more to get what we have ordered.It wasn't cooked well and it was not hot at all ( parana kema ). portion was way smaller its not worth for what your paying.

    Tip: Order their Pittu and Potato curry (I’ll bet you that you will be amazed with the combo and the unique potato curry taste) Feedback: Went for breakfast there as our guide recommended the place. It’s right in front of the main market in Jaffna and I’m sure you won’t miss the board. Clean and neat ! But I heard the place gets busy so it’s upto ur luck ! Don’t forget to leave a tip !

    Excellent food and friendly staff. Price is little bit high compared to south. But worth the price as it tastes unique.

  • 5/5 Chinthaka D. 7 months ago on Google
    One of the best place to eat delicious jaffna curries. Try biriyani from them. Different taste, but good.

  • 1/5 Yogarajah K. 9 months ago on Google
    If you are a tourist, I would advise against dining at this hotel. I had a horrible experience due to disrespectful staff. I ordered a chicken biryani, but it arrived cold. When I requested it to be reheated, the staff refused and even indirectly implied that I could have it as it is.

  • 1/5 s.mayu m. 9 months ago on Google
    I used to eat there, but when i go today they charged extra . When i ask to clarify what they have charged, they was saying MRP 150 water bottle is 180 because of the ac room,and they said they have served all the curries so extra 50 for each person, 10 % service charge and they best part is they will never charge service charge from the customer. Don’t cheat on foods

    If you wanna have best briyani. This is the spot. Delicious. And portion also generous. Atmosphere also very nice. And the people serve the food very cool. Worth for the price. Overall I will highly recommend this place. Parking is bit tricky. Cos this place is on a busy main road. The back road parking may available. Give it a try.

    One of the best places to have a genuine Sri Lankan cuisine experience in Jaffna!

  • 2/5 Dark c. 1 year ago on Google
    Not like earlier tasted. The taste of food was changed and the service by the waiter was worst. But the apologies from the owner was good in way. If I go only for the owners customer care.

  • 3/5 Chamara K. 1 year ago on Google
    Went there with my wife to have dinner. This is a non-veg restaurant. We ordered fried rice and it was OK. Friendly service was there. Since we poor in talking Tamil, we couldn't talk and request the needs properly.

  • 1/5 Praveen K. 1 year ago on Google
    Poor ever service I have experienced from a Hotel so far. They doesn’t even care about the customer needs. Place is dirty and disgusting and the staff isn’t friendly with the customers. Don’t go there if you are willing to travel to Jaffna. Food’s aren’t delicious as We expected.

  • 1/5 Lahiru Lakshitha S. 1 year ago on Google
    I had lunch with my family here and it was the worst food I've had ever since I came to Jaffna. Foods are simply not worthy of the price. If your thing is to have a meal at a half cleaned plate, with a spoon this is the place. 🤣🤣🤣

  • 1/5 Thuva S. 1 year ago on Google
    I wouldn't recommend going to this place as of the time I'm writing this review. It's painfully not clean and the food is bad to say in short. Save yourself some hate by avoiding this place.

  • 4/5 Thananjayan A. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the hygiene places in Jaffna town. Don't order biryani, it's just yellow rice + Boiled egg + Brinjal curry + Chicken fry. (On jaffna it's common) Only limited buriyani shops in jaffna (most of them doing delivery only)

  • 5/5 Tharindu R. 2 years ago on Google
    Had really delicious food here when we were in a vacation to jaffna the best thing here is they provide a large ammount of food for reasonable price and delicious and vkean next vist for sure.

  • 4/5 Lanil M. 4 years ago on Google
    Tried this place when we were on a trip to Jaffna. We had parata, string hoppers, and several curries including Jaffna's famous mutton. Nothing wrong to say about food. Waiters served us well despite the difficulties in our language gap. Must try place for meals if you're in Jaffna.

  • 5/5 N.a.d S. 6 years ago on Google
    The food was delicious bit I think it's a bit expensive. If you want authentic Jaffna food, this is the place to go. However, it's not fancy, just a normal local jaunt. Good for Jaffna curries.

  • 3/5 Imran J. 5 years ago on Google
    This is a very nice place located in the middle of Jaffna. There is a wide variety of food and in terms of local food you can't go wrong. A lot of people mention this as part of the best restaurants in Jaffna and I would have to say that it is very good. You have to try the eggplant, yellow rice and Fried Chicken.

  • 5/5 madushanka g. 3 years ago on Google
