👍👍 It isn’t said casually that no1 can beat the hospitality of the Taj. Those golden words stand so true on all aspects for this restaurant . We had our breakfast and dinner on all the 3 days we stayed here. The staff is excellent, so courteous, ready to help and assist you in all ways. I wanted to try...

    We had a breakfast, lunch , dinner buffet when we stay at taj , the foods are very delicious and recommended but drinks are not included in lunch and dinner buffet , buying coke it’s cost me 500/- 😁 Having a meal on a rainy day while watching pool it’s a wonderful experience

    It isn’t said casually that no1 can beat the hospitality of the Taj. Those golden words stand so true on all aspects for this restaurant . We had our breakfast and dinner on all the 3 days we stayed here. The staff is excellent, so courteous, ready to help and assist you in all ways. I wanted to try their lumprais and jackfruit curry but it wasn’t there in the their menu , their manager came to me and said mam I will make sure you shall get it . I can say they stood true to their words one day dinner the lumprais was given and the other day the jackfruit curry was there. What more can you ask for in a place where the guest’s words are taken so promptly . All my words would fall short for the hospitality of the Chef Mr Prakash who made yummy parathas for my husband . He made such yummy parathas that we have a stomach full of parathas . After being in Srilanka for 10 days such delicious Indian food is what an Indian stomach asks for . Highly recommend the chefs, staff - Mr Demit for being so helpful and ready to listen to our requests and fulfilling them as well. The food at the restaurant is delicious and we tried a lot of dishes from the menu and I highly recommend you to try their srilankan as well as Indian spread. I would come back for this restaurant next time we visit Srilanka . It would be our goto place anytime .

    Excellent location- probably one of the best beaches i have ever been to. Great service. Food options and taste can be better though.

    Nestled within the charming Taj Bentota, the Palms restaurant offers a truly enchanting dining experience that seamlessly marries age-old charm with impeccable upkeep. The decor, though aged, retains its captivating beauty, reflecting a commitment to preserving its elegant essence. Dining options abound, with both buffet and à la carte offerings designed to cater to a diverse range of preferences. The richness of the menu is exemplified by the extensive buffet spread, showcasing a diverse range of culinary delights. However, the pinnacle of indulgence lies in their delectable dessert offerings. With each bite, the Palms transports you to a realm of sweetness that's hard to resist. Whether seated indoors or poolside outdoors, the ambiance is a testament to thoughtfulness in design. Yet, it's the staff's attentiveness and care that truly elevate the experience. The team's dedication to delivering satisfaction goes above and beyond, even accommodating off-menu requests, a testament to their commitment to excellence. However, what truly sets the Palms apart is its championing of the art of serving mouth-watering Indian cuisine far from the shores of India. Under the leadership of Chef Piyush and his remarkable team, they have managed to create an authentic Indian culinary experience that resonates with flavors and aromas that transport you to the heart of India. In conclusion, the Palms restaurant at Taj Bentota is a haven of culinary delights and genuine hospitality. It's a destination where aesthetics, cuisine, and service converge, crafting an unforgettable experience. This culinary haven not only tantalizes taste buds but also warms the heart, making every visit a memory to treasure. Kudos to Chef Piyush and his exceptional team for setting and maintaining such exceptional standards, redefining the experience of Indian cuisine beyond borders.

  • 5/5 Odeus 7 years ago on Google
    Best food in bentota, hands down. We tried all the top rated restaurants in bentota and still the buffé at the palms beat them all hands down. It's expensive, 3000 for buffé, 2500 or more for most dishes but the chefs are excellent, it was hard finding a dish not prepared excellently even on the buffet. Also big props for the chefs and some of the Waiters, absolutely the friendliest people we meet during our visit in Sri Lanka. Would recommend anyone, even if not from the Vivanta hotel, to visit the palms for a lunch or dinner (breakfast is great as well, don't miss the waffles!)

    We came to eat here as a stop on our journey & were disappointed. Whilst the view is lovely. We order three items on a day with a little amount of people in the restaurant. After 40 minutes nothing had come, so we left.

    Buffet and a la carte are lovely. Service is great, waiters very attentive. One down side is table allocation. As guests mainly opt for buffet, waiters can get confused as to whether the table is vacant or being used.

👍👍 A very quaint place, by the train tracks. The food is top notch.

Coupled with the earnest Aruna and V...
