    Very decent food at relatively okay prices. The food here is freshly made, well almost all, and you can buy most items just off the pot. The dishes are very tasty and there are many to choose from the different stalls. The stall at the end makes fresh juice so it's perfect on a hot day.

    This is one of the best place to eat in Sri Lanka. It is run by government and a lot of local women cook the tradition snack and food of Sri Lanka and it is really affordable. They do not have any non veg food but you will find puttu, mothgam, vadai, roti, milk, juice and a lot of other Sri Lanka food and snack. A cool place hang out with friends and family.

    Best food in jaffna that is healthy, nutritious and fresh. They don’t sell left overs from the previous day. They have cut fruits, fresh juices, traditional jaffna food and many more at a very cheap rate.

    Fully vegetarian shop. Perfect place to have food. Affordable for middle class people and the quality of the food is great. Tasty food ever and it’s a very good service for them to have it all over the northern province. All fresh foods they prepare there. Variety of foods are available. Not only breakfast lunch and dinner they have short eats also. Very traditional food which we refuse to make at home and love to eat will be made at this restaurant eg Mothaham, panangai paniyaram cutlets vadai and many more are there. Also for breakfast very healthy kanji, soup, kadalai, sambar Satham, hoppers, pittu, string hoppers thosai, masala thosai and other items are available. It will be nice to eat when it’s hot and fresh. They serve hot hot meals. Also tea coffee, fresh juice, and some herbal drinks available. Price is very reasonable. The preparation job was given to ladies so that they can earn and will have a better life. A must recommend place. I loved all the foods that I have eaten. 😍

    Best Rural and Healthy Food also prepared freshly in an open kitchen setup. Parking is adequate. Customer Service is very friendly. Never serve old food. You should wait around 10 minutes to food to be prepared. Very close to the jaffna town.

    Really nice place to eat the traditional and healthy food related to Jaffna (Tamil culture) In here , selling laddies were show case their food and demand the cost for their own food and sell it. Its creates a good and better relationship develop between seller and the customer . That's the reason, here Cost also affordable than the other restaurant around the place. Its a very peace place to eat foods and chat with each and every one.

  • 5/5 Pallavan 2 years ago on Google
    food is really good but the service does not know what they had sold before. We needed to tell them what we have ordered. So in that case you can tell whatever you want. We did not do that but there might be people who tell lies. The food does not taste same in every city. In my opinion the best store was in Kilinochchi

🫤 I'm extremely disappointed with their service. I need to wait for almost 1-2hrs to get each items that i have ordered. Both of the dishes were below average. Tandoori chicken wasn't cooked well and Egg Kothu was very blunt. I hope the management will take these seriously and fix them ASAP.
