    If you like to experience an authentic Sri Lankan home cooked lunch along the Kandy-Colombo road, this is the place! The lunch buffet reminded me of my grandma’s cooking. My first choice when it comes to lunch on the Colombo-Kandy road 😋😍❤️. The staff is extremely helpful and will go out of their way to assist you when in need. Highly recommend this place for lunch and breakfast on your way through Warakapola 🤩👍👍👍

    Probably one of the best Sri Lankan rice and curry meals I have had. The price is ridiculously low. Worth driving up from Colombo just for the food.

    A nice restaurant to have breakfast lunch or dinner if you are traveling towards or back from Kandy. They have buffet meals with a nice spread. The breakfast is served at 600 rupees which is great with the spread which is given. The ambience gives a nice sri lankan vibe. Highly recommended for breakfast.. Next time should try lunch and dinner.

    Waahalkada is one of the recommendable places to eat on your way to the central side of the country. It's located right away on the Colombo - Kandy road. Waahalkda has a unique appearance to itself just looks like an old suthupa's protection barriers' look. This place has its own parking spaces without any disturbance. On the day we travelled, for the lunch buffet, there were 6 - 8 types of curries including Mallum, Pickel and Pol Sambol. Each one of these dishes had its kind of unique flavour to themselves. I find myself obsessed with Mango curry, Mallum and Fish curry. It was a great combo. Also the selection of rice "Red raw" or "Samba" made it easier to taste it. The atmosphere was also great, they do have a rear view of a water stream going beneath. The rear balcony gives a calming view. The bathrooms are also cleaned and okay. Meals were priced at LKR 950.00 per person with desserts of choice ice cream and Bananas. Service was also friendly.

    This is a great place to have breakfast, lunch or dinner. Located in the Colombo Kandy and Colombo Kurunegala roads it is convenient for many travelers. Three food is great. It tasted like home made. The facility is clean and very pleasant. It is easily one of the best places to dine if you are around Warakapola area in the Colombo Kandy road. The toilets cost you Rs. 100 if you use it without eating there. For a crew of 4 it cost us about Rs.2400 total.

    This THE best place to eat on your way to Kandy The best local food you can find is here. Food is tasty,buffet is local.You get spicy and non ‭(spicy.Place is very clean,wash rooms are clean too You may sit inside or out side corridor with a beautiful view.Low sitting chairs are available in the corridor . I would say it is one of the best place to have a morning meal ,quiet and even romantic

  • 3/5 Sameera 3 months ago on Google New
    I visited the place while traveling to Kandy with my wife, 3-year-old daughter, and 5-month-old baby from Colombo around 9:00 am. They had very clean and spacious washrooms where we could change the diapers of our babies. It was a great relief for us. Since we hadn't had breakfast, we opted for just tea. The cost was 150 LKR per person in December 2023.

    I think this restaurant was a very nice place at its beginning. It appears to be beautifully designed. However, maintenance looks inadequate. As a result the beauty is fading away. Some remnants of the former beauty is still existing. It requires some refurbishment. Food was mediocre and unappealing. I guess that may be the reason why not many customers stopover.

    This used to be my father's favourite place, but now it looks dead.. maintenance has not been done properly. They still give out good food, tho.

👍👍 My usual place to have a quick snack break when travelling from kandy to colombo. I always look forward to having their tea and hoppers. Their seeni sambol is out of this world 👌. They have very friendly staff. It is one of the best places to stop for a break and refresh. Recommended for everyone.

😠 I recently visited Dinemore ( warakapola) and I must say that the food was not worth the price. The quality of the food was poor and the taste was very disappointing.
