    Stunningly good food for the local and western palates made by a brother/sister team (see pics for photos of the two days of lunches and a selection of the daily varying dishes). A great selection of food that changes daily. So good that my parents and I have been back now two days running for lunch and will be going back again tomorrow and probably the day after! The mango curry was truly stunning, the mutton nicely warming and spicy with a great tenderness but firmness, lovely yellow rice and prawns that were juicy and fresh and then the lovely tomato, pineapple, red onion and lime juice and chill salad. Just devine.

    Great little shop for local rice and curry. They cook everything up fresh each day and have a rotating menu. Many different curries to choose from, all super tasty and affordable. Check out our channel for a full review of our experience: Hungry Two Travel.

    Really good Sri Lankan food! The place is slightly tricky to find, so do call the number when you are near.. We ended up trying all the items they had, and they were more than willing to offer us smaller portions! 🤗

    Authenticity and uniqueness. So many restaurants that do Rice & Curry but Mandiya always manages to come out on top. The food being prepared by cooks who are experienced in making the traditional curries provide such an experience that creates a whole new benchmark for Rice & Curry. To top it all off, delivery at its finest. Thanks to PickMe Food, I’m able to get myself and my dad some lunch and then have a perfect afternoon nap!!

    This was by far our favorite meal in Kandy. It is clean, healthy, nutritious and traditional food. This is a must on your list of local restaurants in Sri Lanka 🙂

    OMG, this place is AMAZING! A small and seriously authentic curry and rice restaurant tucked behind a shopping centre. It’s absolutely well worth tracking down. Genuinely the best food we’ve had in Sri Lanka and such lovely, friendly people. The beef curry available on our visit was the star of the show, but everything else was divine too. I’d come back to Kandy just to come here!

    Perfect spot with authentic local food… great service and nice atmosphere hidden in the chaos of the Kandy city. If you are dining in, just be aware the dine in capacity is limited.

    The BEST food I have had so far in Sri Lanka! A real hidden gem with truly delicious and authentic home cooked cuisine. I would return every day next time I am in Kandy. Had the rice and fish curry and nothing could be faulted. THANK YOU!!

    We visited the restaurant with our guide Thushara. It’s in the center of Kandy, Sri Lanka and a fantastic little restaurant. Great way to try authentic Sri Lankan foods as a foreigner. Great taste, very nice owners. Limited choice but honest and fantastic tasting food. Surely recommended if you want to try healthy local food. Very doable with kids aswell. Fam. Cortebeeck

    The place is a little hard to find but if you find it, you will never forget it. This is hands down the best meal we have had in Sri Lanka. I cannot recommend this place enough. The freshly fried chicken with the rice, vegetables and chutney with the smiling faces serving you! A MUST VISIT if you are in Kandy!

    Delicious rice and curry. The one with fish cost 550 LKR. Prepare that the place is very tiny, hot, and busy at lunch time

    Amazing food and great service felt welcome from initial arrival. Mid food entertainment by a monkey swooping in made it even better. I would recommend trying this authentic Sri Lankan food if you are in the area. X2 plates three drinks -2570 Sri Lankan

    A little harder to find but WHAT a find! They serve different curries, you get a choice of veg/chicken/pork/fish and it was all so good! Our group tried all except for the fish, and we loved it all. It is quite spicy and visited by many locals for pick-up as well. Highly recommend!

    A Hidden gem in Kandy. Food is simple yet very nourishing. It’s also very clean and tasty with authentic Sri Lanka spices. They cook everything in front of the customer. It feels like going to a Japanese Sushi Bar and look at the chef, in Sri Lanka version. I felt so much at peace here.

    We went there to grab some food for take away. The rice and different curries were really delicious. The owener and his wife are very friendly. Also the price is very cheap - two curries with 2 eggs each for 700 Rs in total. Thank you so much for this experience!!

    Enjoy the authentic Sri Lankan food experience with Mandiya. In house dining, delivery to outdoor catering, Mandiya is the place to visit if you look for true Sri Lankan flavors. Special mention about the outdoor catering service offered, would definitely give 10/10 for the great lunch buffet, Hopper action station , presentation, layout, hygiene, and certainly for the very friendly staff. Keep up the good work!!
