    We are so fortunate to have this place just a few minutes drive away from home. It’s a great experience. The ambiance is very welcoming and charming. Amazing Coffee menu and the food is stunning. With the team of Mr.Parackrama And the Cafe Staff is extremely knowledgeable and make great recommendations. Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely Cafe and you’ll be find out the service is unmatched. Specially the Security Officer, Mr.Prasanna doing an amazing all-rounding duty with his pleasant smile and true warm hospitality before entering the premise. The food is absolutely amazing. Everything we tasted were beyond ♥️ Absolutely the best cafe meals we had while in Kurunegala. Highly recommend!

    This is located near the Kurunagala highway entrance. Have wide car park the service for the parking is excellent the person who navigating us to park the car done a very good service. This place is so cool and clean. Have the hygiene here. They display their menu in a blackboard that’s mean it can vary day by day. The quality and the quantity of the foods so good. I ordered mutton rice and they did very good dish with large portion of mutton. Beverages are also good here. Highly recommended for quality foods. The price is expensive but worth for the food quality.

    This is our default stop on any trip to Kandy and beyond, or Dambulla and beyond, both ways. We've done breakfast, lunch and dinner here. Most of the time the experience has been very good. Recommend the breakfast buffet and especially the coffees. The prawn curry with roast paan, and the fish and chips are very good too. The staff are friendly and courteous. Over the years they have become very popular and the place is almost always crowded, but they have enough tables so it shouldn't be a problem. Great location, with it being located just outside the Yaggahapitiya highway exit.

    Stopped here for tea on our way to Sigiriya from Colombo. It's on the highway with parking facilities. Lovely ambience and neat place. There seemed so many options to eat but we were just in the mood for tea. Lovely tea and this was incidentally our first Tea we had in our Srilanka trip. Clean washrooms. . Recommend this place for a snack and Tea

    A wonderful spot to relax with friends and family just off the central highway. The atmosphere is inviting and cozy, with ample seating. We received a warm welcome from the friendly staff upon entering. We tried three dishes, pasta and two rice dishes (seafood and smoked chicken). The food is tasty, especially the pasta with its phenomenal sauce consistency. However, there were too many capsicums in the rice, affecting my appetite. The cappuccino and mocha are delightful, highly recommended for coffee lovers. Overall, our visit to this place was perfect, and I'd recommend it to anyone seeking a meal or coffee spot.

    The first thing that i have to say is they know how to welcome a customer. It starts with a security uncle. He was very helpful with parking, once you got out of the car with a big smile he was welcome. Once u step in shop stuff is very helpful to choose food and beverage. I know though that i would find this kind of coffee shop outside cmb. They got cheesecake, cakes, hot and cool beverage. The price is very reasonable. Best place to refresh after a long drive.

    Cafe Amarkie, excels in both delectable cuisine and exceptional service. With a diverse menu catering to all tastes, from hearty breakfasts to light lunches and satisfying dinners, there's something for everyone. The hot chocolates are a definite standout, incredibly delicious and rich. The friendly and attentive staff ensure that every visit is enjoyable, adding to the warm and cozy atmosphere. Despite its popularity, the bustling ambiance only adds to the charm. Undoubtedly, Cafe Amarkie stands as the finest establishment of its kind in Kurunegala. We ordered the English breakfast, SET B, which was simply delicious. The flavors were spot on, and each bite was a treat for our taste buds. The highlight, though, was the hot chocolate—absolutely amazing! It was rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. We couldn't have asked for a better start to our special day. Cafe Amarkie is definitely a must-visit for tasty breakfast and exceptional service!

  • 4/5 ginger b. 11 months ago on Google
    We are so glad we found a cozy place to spend some quality time enjoying a good cup of coffee in Kurunegala :) Vibe is awesome. Service was friendly and efficient. The food was delicious too! Protions are good, but on the expensive side. The washroom was clean. Good parking space and the security guy (person in parking area) is very friendly and welcoming. The interior is nice, but I found it difficult to sit on those chairs because they were quite far from the table.

  • 4/5 Fathima 2 years ago on Google
    My first time experience in Café Ama'kie was delightful. The place was clean and well kept. The staff wore their masks at all times and maintained their social distancing too. My orders turned out to be delicious and even the decorations on the coffee (and other beverages) were beautiful. Although, my reason for a 4 star rating towards this cafe is because I was not satisfied with my takeaway order (sandwiches). Overall, it is still a great place to dine in. If I could give 4.5 star then I would have but since Google maps only accomodates whole numbered stars, 4 stars is what I can give. Thank you Café Ama'kie for your service.

    Had a good experience at Cafe Amakie. The brownies and ice cream was exceptionally good but the blueberry cheesecake was not that good. Had a hot chocolate that was okay. The service was good and the staff were helpfull. The atmosphere of the place was also good but it tends to get noisy when crowded.

    I recently had the pleasure of visiting Cafe Amakie located on Kurunegala Dambulla Road, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. From the moment I stepped inside, I was welcomed by their friendly staff and the warm ambiance of the cafe. The manager himself was extremely gracious and accommodating, ensuring that all customers felt comfortable and satisfied. It was evident that customer service was a top priority for them, which made my visit all the more enjoyable. As a vegetarian, I am often limited in my options when it comes to eating out, but this was not the case here. They had an impressive array of vegetarian dishes that were both delicious and satisfying. It's always a joy to find a place that understands and caters to different dietary needs. I was impressed with the quality and flavor of the coffee they served. It was evident that they take pride in their coffee offerings, making it a perfect place for coffee enthusiasts like me.

    Cafe Amakie is a hidden gem located near the Kurunegala highway entrance. The cafe serves delicious food and offers excellent service. The menu is diverse, with something for everyone, whether you're in the mood for a hearty breakfast, a light lunch, or a satisfying dinner. I especially enjoyed the coffee and sandwiches. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring that every visit is a pleasant one. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable but the place is bustling with people most of the time. Probably the best of it’s kind in Kurunegala.

  • 5/5 ROSHEN MALINTHA NEHEMIAH R. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a totally unexpected experience at Cafe Amakie when I travelled to Kurunegala. Everything about them is just perfect. Price, taste, vibe, customer service... You need to try this place if you're traveling to Kurunegala. Super humble owner who goes from table to table asking for comments to improve their service. The staff are super professional. Personally I would honestly say that it's one of my best experiences at a cafe in Sri Lanka or somewhat almost whole of Asia.

  • 4/5 Hansani B. 2 years ago on Google
    The menu here has a good variety and this restaurant is great for all day dinning. Particularly useful to have a meal on your way back to Colombo, when you have to enter the expressway via the Mirigama entrance. Loved the food, which was delicious and served in sizable portions. It’s got good vegetarian options too. Can recommend.

  • 5/5 kapila j. 1 year ago on Google
    A place near by the highway entrance and bit away from the crowded town area. Have a large parking place without worries. Great service and good hygiene. One of the top 10 coffee place in Sri Lanka for me. They had this "Bread & Prawn curry with Polsambol" and it was out of this world Place is expensive but it's worth every rupee
