    I have ordered kottu from these people from the very beginning of their business. Their kottu used to be the best in the town those days. But in recent times, their food is not that good. Food is too spicy and the unique flavor they had was now gone. Last week I ordered a BBQ chicken kottu and with that I got a rotten chicken leg. That was so gross and chicken had a bad smell. I informed them and they offered me a free kottu and I asked them to make it an egg kottu as I had no faith with their BBQ chicken kottu anymore. I will never order any food from them ever. PS: I got to know that their main chef has moved to Matara Solis Hotel(IINM) and I think that is the main reason for not tasting the food as they used to be.

    I am going here not yesterday, I have been eating here for a long time now.. the reason is that our taste here is southern taste,, it cannot be described like this,, it is a must see all the time.. so I reccomend it because the staff here are amazing. .. The best place in Matara.

    I have never tried a cheese kottu that tasted sweet! Yes, it had sugar, and a lot of it! The mixed kottu was dry and didn't even have enough seafood or any meat for the price paid, it was just parata! Value for money was not there as these were relatively expensive for a low quality experience. Ordered a cake shake and was given a milk shake and even that tasted watery. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ The worst part was denying all these when complained ๐Ÿ™„

    I am a regular customer at Kotthu factory. In the begining food and service was really great and recently both food tase and service has come down to a poor level. We need the quality you provided in the begining. Please consider this since your customer base depends on your quality. Thank you.

    Worst ever chicken kottu i tasted here. I would call it chilli kottu rather than chicken kottu because it contained too much chilli and hardly any chicken. Did not feel any taste except tougue burning. It is too sticky. I have never seen sticky chicken kottu anywhere else. Place has no parking. Dining area was ok but it was too hot. Had ac machines but not working. Imagine eating to too spicy kottu sitting in a hot room with no ventilation. Pathetic. This is my last visit here. They used to be ok in the past now its worst. Rs 900 per larger chicken kottu. Portion was quite big. Served without delay. Place was clean and nicely arranged. Saw some people coming to this place for small celebrations. Im adding this after seeing the response from the owner. Dear owner, I did a honest review on my point of view comparing other restaurants i have visited. If this is your way of making kottu that is totally fine. Hope there are bunch of people out there who like this "uniqueness". I generally do not tolerate spicy food. So after few bites i gave up on your meal. But my wife consumed little more than half the plate. She usually like spicy foods. But in this case even for her this was too hot. If you have cctv on dining area you can see there were few girls sitting next to our table who ordered same item. They kept running to tap to drink water several times because it was too hot for them also. Please have a look at my bill. Im uploading it now. Where on earth have you mentioned it as daiya or extra spicy one. We just asked we need a chicken kottu larger portion. Thats all we asked. At that time also we were not told this is an extra spicy one or anything special. Yes i parked my car infront of a private house which is next to your place. I do not think road side parking does not count as a parking space reserved for your restaurant. Also that road is not wide enough where you can comfortably park your vehicle on road side without disturbing other drivers. Regarding AC, if you do not promote air conditioning in your restaurant that also fine. But i mentioned what i felt. It is really nice if you use them since there is no proper ventilation and too hot inside. May be you are still adhering to covid restrictions. That could be the reason i guess. Finally i must say i did a constructive criticism on my point of view. Anyway i hope you pay attention on other recent bad reviews as well and improve. Good luck.

    I gave them a 5stars on my brothers account for the first time that I bought the chicken kottu from them which was excellent. However the second time i tried the cheese chicken kottu which is too sweet as other reviewers say, don't know how to describe the taste really really terrible, ate only two spoons of it and throw away the rest and the price was too expensive 700/-. I think you guys MUST change the recipe since you get many bad reviews specially because of the cheese kottu, im not a picky person that always complain and i have tried cheese kottu from many other places, this is really a bad meal. I recommend the cheese kottu at keells next door which was excellent.

    I don't know whether the food here is regularly good. But I had a cheese kottu for a staggering Rs. 800 which literally had no taste. So, for my experience, It's really bad

    Name is awesome but taste is not good as I expected. Coz Salt in kottu is very excessive than the normal taste of kottu. Not Recommended at all. Price is too high tho. Donโ€™t waste your money.

    Really great service and amazing price. We ordered food with an allergy request and Kottu Factory were fantastic and accommodating our needs. We have ordered from here 3 times now and will continue to do so! Best kottu in Sri Lanka and really big portions :)

  • 4/5 Sandul R. 4 years ago on Google
    A really good place to have a meal with a variety of options to try including rices and kottu. The food seems to be free of artificial flavours and the ingredients seem to be of very high quality. The prices are a bit high but the place is upscale and the staff are really friendly and courteous. The quality of the food is noteworthy. The portions are big and really tummy filling ๐Ÿ™ˆ

  • 3/5 Dananjaya A. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is not special. It is just regular kottu. Full portion is not enough for two people. Customer service is good

  • 5/5 Masami M. 10 months ago on Google
    Great place. Cheap. We went back to the restaurant a couple of times during our stay in Sri Lanka. Although the Kottu was too spicy for us, the dishes the we had at the red were always fresh and fried rice there is really tasty!

    I recently visited a local restaurant and was pleasantly surprised by the delicious food and excellent service. From the moment I walked in I was greeted with a warm smile and promptly seated. The menu offers so many options that it is difficult to choose just one dish. However, I finally decided on the house specialty, and I was not disappointed. The food was freshly prepared and bursting with flavor. Every bite was a delight. The service was also excellent. Our server was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The atmosphere of the restaurant was cozy and inviting, with dim lighting and soft music playing in the background. It was the perfect place to relax after a long day. I also appreciated the affordable prices. The portions were generous and the quality of the food was better than the cost. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a wonderful dining experience. Whether you're in the mood for a romantic dinner for two or a family outing, this restaurant is sure to impress. I can't wait to go back and try some of their other dishes!

  • 1/5 Yasiru C. 8 months ago on Google
    I visited this restaurant on 29/07/2023 at around 10.30am with my Girlfriend. I placed an order of Mixed Rice full at that time. However, the person at the cashier accepted the order, But a person working in the kitchen came and said the following. "You can't get it right now. By the time it is set it will be at least 11.30am." (เถฏเทเถฑเทŠเถธ เถœเถฑเทŠเถฑ เท€เท™เถฑเทŠเถฑเทš เถฑเท‘.๐Ÿ˜ 11.30 เท€เถญเทŠ เท€เทšเท€เท“ เท„เถฏเถฝเท เถฏเท™เถฏเทŠเถฏเท“..๐Ÿ˜ฌ) . At that time I felt like I had just gone to eat with his money. We did not get good service and smiling reception from them even after ordering food by paying money. I immediately explained the situation to them and left with the hope of never come again. I ate here when I visited Matara for almost two years. Such a heart-wrenching incident has never happened before. I do not recommended to anyone. Thank You.

    I tried the sea food fried rice . Overall it was great portion is normally enough for two people. But for hungry thts not enough it will cost around 550lkr..
