    My banana milkshake was good. At the same time I feel like it was a bit overprized. The service was good and it was relaxing to sit there.

    Very nice restaurant, definitely come here one night for dinner. Food was really nice and so were the juices. The host is really kind and gave us recommendations for what to do in the area besides the sigirya rock.

    The food was really delicious and the personnel were super friendly. They speak good english and gave us great recommendations for food. The restaurant has a chill atmosphere perfect after the walking day. The place is humble but with a nice touch.

    Such a nice guy and warm welcome at this place! When the colourful lights went back due to a power outage we had a great candle light dinner! He prepared us a great freshly made vegetable curry!

    Stopped here for dinner. Owner was very friendly. The food was a bit dry for my taste. Spice can be customized to taste. Prices were a little on the high side.

    Amazing and absolutely nice place. The atmosphere was just what we were looking for, very good and lovely service and the food bloody brilliant. No crazy prices. I ate there the best cheese Kottu in my trip through Sri Lanka. If you are traveling around Sigiriya it must be a stop!

    Great place with a super helpful owner. Food was great, so we had to come back the next day. Owner gave us tips for the surrounding but also told us more about the history of the village and the people of Sri Lanka. Good food and good conversation.

    Saw that restaurant on the side of the road and pulled over with our rental car to have a beer and a quick bite. We were wholeheartedly welcomed and had two very tasty rice and noodle dishes that were just the right size. The gentleman who worked at the restaurant and took care of us also acted as a broker to sell us massages and tours in the area. It’s up to everyone individually whether they agree to such offers or not. We didn’t feel pressured. As we wanted to have a good massage we took him up on an offer and didn’t regret it. The massage at the Ayurveda place close by was downright fantastic.

    Excellent food for the price, excellent service with a smile. We chose Sri Lankan food and were happy that we did. Had a lovely meal for 1100Lkr including dessert. Enjoyed our BYO beer from teacups (so they were hidden). Would go hear again, might even go again for breakfast before we leave Sigirya.

    on the first look it isnt look like a restaurant but it is. I have chicken curry and was perfect same as lhasi. Servis was excellent and friendly. Highly recommended..

    We stumbled upon this place as there weren't many restaurants open nearby - and what a lucky chance it was! Delicious food, affordable prices, and most notably, a very jolly fellow serving us and providing excellent hospitality. Sitting outside under the canopy provided an excellent atmosphere. Highly recommended this place for a simple bite to eat!

    The food was absolutely amazing for the price paid so tasty and authentic. They also have a westernized part to the menu for the less adventurous. The service was so friendly and spoke English the place was clean and tidy. Well lit and the music set a relaxed vibe. Highly recommended.
