Probably the best dinner and conversation with a local we had on our trip. We had the fried garlic as a starter (so good!), fried rice, fried noodles and coconut rotti with banana. Food is super fresh and delicious. Therefore takes a while to get prepared which was no problem at all because we had a very good conversation with the father of the cook. Was so interesting to hear his perspective on so many things. Really inspiring and also funny. Just an amazing experience.

We went there for Dinner on a Friday night. Loved the vibe of the place and the staff were super helpful. We ordered a chicken sandwich and a mixed fried rice. Both dishes were tasty and portions were enough. They welcome locals as well. We don’t mind going there again.

I first came here four years ago and the meal was unforgettable. This time we ordered the large fish and it was delicious! The whole family joins in to make everything from scratch. If you get the fish like us, place the order early because they go to the market to see what’s fresh. Another table got the curry and it smelled wonderful. The owner made everyone feel at home and talked with us in depth about Sri Lanka. I can’t wait to go back.

If you don’t come here for food you are missing out!!!! Lovely setting and the best freshly prepared home cooked meal I have had in Sri Lanka so far so you may need to wait a little longer for food. We watched them grind a coconut for our dish & pick the curry leaves from the tree, That’s how fresh the meals are! The photos do not do this food justice but I couldn’t wait to eat this delicious smelling food any longer! 😋 Honestly it’s amazing here!!!!!!

Having been in SK Town with a few friends for the past couple weeks and frequented all of its restaurants - Uprising is by far the best food and family run restaurant.

Best Place on Sri Lanka 😎

The food is amazing! The rice and curry is the best we had in Sri Lanka. They always make different types of currys so it never gets boring. I can also recommend the vegetable soup. The owners are super lovely and we always have a nice chat. In this restaurant you feel very connected to nature. Definitely come by if you are in SK Town!

This place is an experience. The cook Rasika is an amazing chef and most chilled out person. Ask him to make you some rice and curry, you won't be disappointed. The food is a rollercoaster of flavours.

Uprising restaurant and juice bar : Is one of the most beautiful places on Sri Lanka to relax and spend your free time with friends, perfect atmosphere in the rhythm of rege. True Sri Lankan food made from fresh ingredients and amazing owners who are very friendly and always laughed. I would like to recommend this place to anyone who wants to experience a real Sri Lanka and thank you for all the memories I have thanks to you. 🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰❤️❤️❤️❤️

Cute little hippie place with nice staff and good people just hanging out. It’s nothing fancy, but special in its own way. Coffee is also good!

Although we ended up here by accident, we were quickly welcomed and served two meals of quite decent food. The people working there were very pleasant and the whole place had a very relaxed and family friendly vibe.

After visiting with a friend in 2020 I was so happy to return to Uprising this year. Absolutely delicious & super fresh food, everything is made from scratch. The coconut roti with vegetables was so delicious! Really lovely family that run this place, definitely recommend stopping by if you are in the area!

We thought of this place as a hidden gem. Tucked down a side street, at first we thought it was closed till we were greeted with twinkling lights in the darkness, and a warm welcome. The place is beautiful, woven coconut leaves above, smooth wood twist furniture, funky lights and splashes of colour - you just know when you are surrounded by someone’s passion and creativity. The food was just fabulous - everything we ordered was good, so much so that we ordered some more to takeaway! Uprising felt friendly kind warm - like home but with better food. Definitely worth a visit.

When I came to this area, I immediately noticed this place. It's got a very chill vibe, owned by a local rastaman (named Rastika) who really knows the taste of good food. Now it's ran by his daughter and her husband who is a lovely hard-working lady. They also make handmade beauties from coconut and other local materials, and offer handmade spices from their grandparents' village ❤️ Overall, the place has a special energy that I come back for every day while I'm here. As a cherry on top - it's just 50m away from the ocean, so when it's quite you can literally hear the waves 😇

The best thing ever! Fried garlic as an appetizers. We love garlic, very cool idea! The rice and curry was also very delicious only the portion was not that big. Can recommend this place its very chill and beautiful there! 👍🏽

I dont understand how this place has such good reviews? Rastafarian vibe perhaps? Obviously went here based on all these lovely words and ended up disappointment. And we did go there TWICE to give it a fair chance. Both times were same. To sum up: very less food, expensive and takes way too long. 1. It takes over an hour for the food to be prepared, not just because it is fresh (and it is) but because chef doesnt really hurry to cook. He does some work here and there and then you have to remind him you kinda ordered something (even though you are the only one sitting in there). 2. The portion size is funny, we ordered same dish twice and got not even a single whole portion from a normal restaurant! 3. F*ng expensive for this amount of food! Paid over 2000 rs for 150 grams of gravy! The second time we went was absolutely same, for the amount of money we paid you can totally have a dinner at Doctors house!

Absolutely in love with the family that runs this, we received such a warm welcome and all the food is freshly cooked. We did a cooking class as well🇱🇰

Uprising Juice and Bar - the nicest bar in SK Town - owned by a lovely family - Dinky, Sujith and Bivon:) They serve veeery tasty food - all fresh from local market.. You can enjoy reggae music with yummy drink in your hand:) All the place is very cozy and chilling, kind of genius locci there:)) We had great time in Uprising bar with our friends - and so much fun with cooking lessons:)) This place is a must-visit when you are in SK Town!:) Thank you so much for making our stay in Sri Lanka so amazing!) We are looking forward to see you again:)

This was definitely one of the best places we've eaten in Sri Lanka. All home cooked right in front of you (not a microwave in sight!). Fresh, fresh, fresh. And lovely owners. We will be back. Maybe the music could be a little quieter tho!

Simply amazing tasting curry freshly made in front of me! I will definitely be coming back

Nice family, cute place Food is normal But the wait is too long The portions are small (not typical for Sri Lanka), the price is too high for this combination (In 3-4 times higher than on pics on previous reviews)

Amazing delicious Sri Lankan food made with a lot of love by the family of Rasika. So many good vibes and the perfect place to charge your soul with love, peace and freedom.

Best food in Sri Lanka so far. We’ve tried coconut roti with Dhall and tomato onion sambol - I cant even describe the taste, it was SO amazing! Then we came back for breakfast, had cheese omelet, banana honey pancake, tomato onion sandwich and coffee. Everything so so good! Can not recommend more 🙏🏻

It was a pleasure to eat the delicious food cooked with lots of love. Can recommend this place to everyone who wants to dive deeper into Sri Lankan culture.

We really enjoyed our meal here the other night! First I had the mixed fruit juice which was the best I’ve had in Sri Lanka. The prawn noodles were tasty and all of the different vegetarian curries were excellent!

(Translated by Google) We were the first and only guests on the first evening of the surf season and were cooked delicious. Family restaurant where everyone is welcome. Very nice owners :) Mega delicious curry, one of the best we ate during our vacation :) (Original) Wir waren die ersten und einzigen Gäste am ersten Abend der Surfsaison und wurden super lecker bekocht. Familienrestaurant in dem jeder herzlich willkommen ist. Sehr nette Besitzer :) Mega leckeres Curry, eines der Besten das wir während unseres Urlaubs gegessen haben :)

Best restaurant in town!

(Translated by Google) We were there at lunchtime atmosphere is super very relaxed Restaurant looks very nice even if we had to laugh a little at the TSV Munich flag. The food was very tasty and in an amount that was just enough. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of it but the Kottu had it. It took about 1 hour because they didn't have everything there and bought something first. But all in all a very nice restaurant (Original) Waren Mittags da atmosphere is super sehr entspannt Restaurant sieht sehr schön aus auch wenn wir über die TSV München Flagge etwas lachen mussten. Essen war sehr lecker und in einer Menge die genau ausreicht. Habe leider kein Bild davon aber hatte das Kottu. Es hat ca 1 Stunde gedauert weil sie nicht alles da hatten und erst noch etwas gekauft haben. Aber alles in allem ein sehr schönes Restaurant

The best food we've had so far in Sri Lanka! Everything is made from scratch with fresh ingredients. Yummy! Thank you 😊

The food is amazing and always freshly made. A nice place to have a chat, relax and eat good food. Rasika and his family are loving and open-minded people, just good vibes.

Tourist trap, prices are very high for what you get. People are friendly but kitchen is poor. Avoid the rice

(Translated by Google) Outrageous quantities for the above-average price of restaurants of the same style. (Original) Quantités scandaleuse pour le prix supérieur à la moyenne des restaurants du même style.

(Translated by Google) They chose a place in the absence of a number of others and, seemingly, with a decent rating. Apart from a very long service (more than an hour, but for Sri Lanka it’s ok, we don’t find fault). They took an order for squid for 1200 and garlic soup. As a result, they brought fish for 1500 * 2, referring to the fact that squids are not fresh. As a result, the fish was generally not tasty and not dairy at all, as promised from the rainbow descriptions of the waiter. The feeling that several times frozen. A very dirty table and chairs were removed only when they paid attention to it. The check was reluctantly lowered, it was only possible to bargain 500 rubles for the fact that you actually had no desire. Not recommended. (Original) Выбрали место за неимением рядом других и, вроде, с приличным рейтингом. Не считая очень долгого обслуживания ( больше часа, но для Шри Ланки это ок, не придираемся). Приняли заказ на кальмары за 1200 и чесночный суп. В итоге принесли рыбу за 1500*2, сославшись на то что кальмары не свежие. В итоге рыба была вообще не вкусная и никакая не молочная, как обещалось из радужных описаний официанта. Ощущение что несколько раз перемороженная. Очень грязный стол и стулья, убрали только тогда, когда обратили на это внимание. Чек опускал неохотно, удалось лишь сторговать 500 ру за то, что ты по факту есть не имел желания. Не рекомендуем.
