  • 2/5 Godfrey D. 1 year ago on Google • 73 reviews
    Average restaurant. The only reason we stopped here is because the taxi driver suggested it. It seems like the driver gets free food if he brings customers in. The lack of customers should have been a warning to go elsewhere!! Food is expensive, not great quality compared to most of the other places we ate at. We had the pork curry and rice. Pork was hard and mostly bones and fat with very little meat. Poor quality rice with a strange taste. Vegetables served were just about okay. The napkin came nicely folded but had stains and food particles on it and had not been washed before being reused!! It is a tourist trap and preferably avoided. Will definitely not stop here again!!

    Decent food... a bit expensive, mediocre taste! Enjoy the plush nature as you have your food. Food is flavourfull and mild in heat. Fresh fruit juices and Buffet are available... Well the flies can be annoying AF since its outdoor dining. Would have been better if the portion sizes were slightly bigger.

    Nice and Clam place. I tried their Nasiyagurang rice. It is perfect. I love it. Best Nasiyagurang I ate so far. Definitely I will go back again. But Little bit expensive.

    Good place not far from main road, but still not too close. The food is good, variety of dishes and big portions. Prices are moderate. The guy on a photo is a little scary, but also funny. Can reccomend this place for a dinner on a road.

    The place was not very clean. The table mats, cutleries and even the plates were scratched and dirty. Toilets were horrible. The were not maintained properly. Food was also not upto the standard. Not worth the money you spend for. The location is nice and calm. Also the staff is friendly. I wouldn't recommend this place if you're looking for good food and cleanliness.

    Lovely lovely location with such a traditional look and feel. This was just a toilet stop for us but we ended up sitting to have some tea as we liked the setting so much. The downside was that it's fairly pricey, so a tea cost us probably more than it would cost in the UK, but it was still lovely tasting and generally tour drivers will stop off at places which are more expensive like this. Worth a visit as a stop off in your tour journey but it's not he cheapest place.

  • 4/5 Sudeepa H. 2 years ago on Google • 52 reviews
    Good place to eat along the Kurunegala-Dambulla road and right after the Yaggapitiya highway exit. The place has a huge parking space, out door seating and a very natural vibe. Tried the Nasi Goreng and it was good. It was served with Satay chicken and Omlette. Price is a bit on the expensive side. Food arrived quickly but had to wait for more than 10 minutes for the bill to arrive.

    Stopped in for morning tea on a bus trip. Various seating options - inside various huts or outside under the trees. Staff moved tables & chairs to accommodate. Rustic facilities. Free toilet for paying guests. Tea & coffees were fine & inexpensive. On the banks of running Creek provided tranquil, peaceful spot. Many of the trees were named to assist non-locals understand the flora better.

  • 1/5 Chry 3 months ago on Google • 29 reviews New
    Rip off. This restaurant was more expensive than my accommodation. The only reason we stopped here is because the driver suggested it - seems like driver gets free food if he brings customers in. Food is very expensive for Sri Lanka, and poor quality. It is a tourist spot just because of its location from the way from the airport. Preferably to be avoided.

  • 4/5 Roshan D. 2 years ago on Google
    Designed to look like an old traditional village house with clay walls and thatched roofs, this restaurant serves quite good food at reasonable prices.

  • 4/5 Dhanuj Nirmal De C. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was tasty, service was friendly and very flexible. Good value for money. I loved their mushroom tampura. It was very delicious; I haven't tasted such a delicious dish in Colombo. But after having lunch we felt an unusual thirst and discomfort. We suspect the chef might be using some artificial ingredient. Good if it can be avoided.

    Had lunch at this place on a week day. Taste and the quality of food is good. Location and the ambiance is great. The selection of food was limited. Service is average. (The main reason for the 3 start rating)

    Very convenient location right next to the Yaggapitiya highway exit (Last exit on the central highway as of July 2022). Great food, very relaxing open and indoor dining spaces. Family friendly.

  • 3/5 Marek K. 1 year ago on Google
    We stopped here for lunch. Actually driver stoped there. Spot is overpriced, food quality is not awesome and ratio quality to price is too low. Nice place in genera with friendly staff. But max I can give is 3 stars. Sorry. Wishing you all the best in the future.

  • 1/5 Asanka Madura Bandara R. 1 year ago on Google
    They serve foods in dirty utensils. The foods are not worth for money. They try to maintain a nature vibe in the restaurant, but it's really a futlie effort. Toilets are really dirty. Even though their service is not up to the quality, they charge 10% as a service charge. Sometimes it's a big amount with the unreasonable price of foods. Not recommending at all.

  • 5/5 Sidath S. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Inês L. 1 year ago on Google
    We went to this lovely restaurant while visiting Polonnaruwa and we enjoyed a lot. Great service and such a nice buffet at a fair price. The tables are facing the rise fields, quite and peaceful. Go there and you will not regret it!

  • 2/5 Ajith W. 8 months ago on Google
    Have visited this place from about 15 years back when it was catering to local clientèle where the rice & Curry was exceptionally tasty. Later they changed the model to buffet to cater to foreigners and taste suffered. This time I visited though I was warned not to by others and found buffet was dispensed with but set menu of rice & Curry was just bland and tasteless. Chicken curry with 4 more dishes which were simply tasteless. Cost Rs.1,200 each but not worth Rs.400. We will not visit saruketha again. Lit of new places abound.

    A very pleasant restaurant with an excellent and varied selection of dishes. We would also like to thank Mr. Eranda who served us. He described each dish to us from which ingredients it was cooked. Recommended to visit on your way to/from Polonnaruwa. Thank you

  • 4/5 Sushan J. 3 years ago on Google
    On our way from Kandalama we stopped at this place to have lunch. Unfortunately, they have stopped serving buffet tentatively because of the low number of tourists visiting their place due to the pandemic. However, we were able to order off the menu. The restaurant has a more laid back, Village style atmosphere with a garden filled with fruit and vegetable plants.

  • 3/5 Rajeeva A. 3 years ago on Google
    Setout and ambience is really nice with a village setup.Food was good, but not wow. Service was average! But rip off in terms of pricing. A plain 2 egg omlette with nothing was charged LKR 650, similary for SL style omlette we were charged LKR 650. Soft drinks a 300ml sprite bottle was charged 150 per bottle. In my view over priced!

  • 1/5 Votary U. 3 years ago on Google
    I personally know this place kitchen has really bad habbits, Here are some 1. Raw and Cooked meet are in the same place 2. The Oil is really burned just as like tar, Cooking every time again and again, This is really bad for health. 3. Kitchen is not cleaned at all These are not visible to outside but inside it has really bad cooking practices, If you need to look the truth please take a look at the kitchen, This is 2020 December update. Hope this will change soon (But mostly this won't be changed they practiced this from a long time)

  • 1/5 Tirantha b. 2 years ago on Google
    My recent visit to this place was a quite unpleasant experience. Previously they had a separate place for the people who are taking liquor and a separate place for the families. So the families could enjoy their meal peacefully without mingling with the drunkards. But recently they have allowed to take liquor in the same restaurant area, where the families take their meals. As a result of that, bringing a toddler to such a place for a family meal is quite embarrassing. Meals are also not reasonable for their price and overall this place is not recommended, specially for families.
