    One of the best resturant to eat near the Kurunegala lake circle. There is good space and the food is very tasty. There is a good parking space right next to it. Facilities have been provided even for large groups in a very beautiful environment.

    Great location and friendly staff. The food is average but they have great fresh juices. I recommend to take the time and do the walk around the lake.

  • 5/5 Dulara R. 8 months ago on Google • 22 reviews
    We had the nasi goreng, devilled sausage, veggie fried rice and some mix veggies. We enjoyed every bit of it. With the views of the lake and a beautiful breeze, we had a lovely family lunch.

    If you are looking for a scenic restaurant to dine in, this is probably at the too of the list. It's right by the reservoir in the heart of Kurunagala. However, I feel that the food is very mediocre and overpriced. I had a fried rice and it was full of MSG which got me drinking a lot of water afterwards. However, there is plenty of parking and the staff isn't too bad either.

  • 4/5 Mahishka S. 4 years ago on Google • 77 reviews
    Tasty food but the drinks are exorbitantly priced. Sprite is priced at Rs 250, and a mixed fruit juice is Rs 500. However the restaurant is beautiful with a scenic view of the lake.

  • 4/5 Nadz J. 3 years ago on Google
    A cool place for drinks with friends and the food was good too. Friendly and efficient customer service. The food was affordable and of good quality. But the place would be much better had it been better maintained and it definitely can take a few renovations. The view was great though, with the Kurunengala Lake right in front of the hotel.

  • 1/5 Nicco 5 years ago on Google
    Avoid at all cost this tourist trap. Our driver brought us here. Nothing but Tourist Busses. Food is 2-3 times as expensive and bad at the same time. The only nice thing is the lake. You have been warned.

  • 3/5 Gamini D. 2 years ago on Google
    Was a popular tourists hotel decades ago. Adjoining to Kurunegala lake. Can relax with a cool bear and lake breeze at reasonable price . Quality food.

    probably the best location in Kurunegala. Food is good with friendly staff. Ample parking space. Outdated buildings.

  • 3/5 Nishan Korala G. 1 year ago on Google
    Used to be better and well maintained the last time i visited back in 2019. Not the best place to dine for a family. Might work for people who want to meet up for a booze

  • 4/5 Tarun Kumar M. 4 years ago on Google
    The place is exquisitely located! Near a lake with direct view of the Buddha statue on the hill. I found it expensive although it was my first day in the country so may be food is expensive here.

  • 3/5 Sajith K. 6 years ago on Google
    Just infront of the kurunegala lake. Food is good. But things are not very clean. Not seems to be well maintained. Restrooms are not properly maintained. Bit hot inside. Prices are reasonable. Vegi fried rice sufficient for 2 ppl, is 400. Devilled chicken whixh comes with 8 small pieces about 500.

    21 December 2023 Subject: Urgent Complaint Regarding Loss of 71,000 LKR due to Lack of Security Measures I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction and disappointment with Diya Dahara due to a recent incident that resulted in a significant financial loss for us. On [20/12/23], We encountered a critical security lapse like no door locks and camaras that led to the theft of 71,000 LKR from our personal belongings. Never trust rooms without locks.
