I am so glad to have found this beautiful and chill place! It was an amazing experience and I love the beach, the room with the see view, the fantastic food and the staff are all super nice and attentive to the guests! Thank you to the owner Jani for his kindness and hospitality! I suggest this place for whom that want to relax, chill on the beach alone, with friends, with lovers or family! It is for me the best place on this beach !

Excellent place, wonderful food, perfect vibe! Have found this place and came back every day, every place around is a waste of your appetite. Jani - the owner - gets his seafood daily from the market himself, wonderfully cooks it himself and serves you with warm openness. You feel at home far from home. Go shrimps - they are the best. And stay for the party!

Very delicious food and fresh. Quite place and relaxing with the waves sound.

Jani, you are the man!!! Great food and atmosphere!!! Keep it up. Hope to see you soon!

Fantastic place to hangout. Fresh delicious Seafoods. Not just for a booze but you can have a good time with your family as well

Strongly recommend this place. We ordered fish and noodles with seafood. Both plates were delicious. Very friendly owner and spectacular ocean view. Visit this place, you won’t be disappointed.

Great place and great value for money. Reasonable rates and , Georges view. Absolute gem of a place. Family friendly.

(Translated by Google) Great place to eat seafood by the ocean. They dined there every day and it was always delicious and quick. The prices are ridiculous. From our hotel 3 minutes along the shore to walk and we are spot on. (Original) Чудове місце щоб поїсти морепродукти на березі океану . Обідали там кожний день і завжди було смачно і швидко . Ціни смішні . Від нашого готелю 3 хв по березі прогулятися і ми на місці .

(Translated by Google) Atmosphere: ocean view, friendly dogs, running cows) Everything is very tasty, in addition to the order bring fruit, rice and vegetable salad. (Original) Атмосферное место: вид на океан, дружелюбные пёсики, пробегающие коровки) Всё очень вкусно, дополнительно к заказу приносят фрукты, рис и овощной салат.

Good sea food restaurant

Love the location and foods

This is some of the best seafood i have had in Sri Lanka.... Just honest Sri Lankan beach style food.... The best is the whole fried fish... with this chili garlic sauce... which makes every dish delicious... and compliments the fish perfectly. The fried rice is great too.... takes a bit of time... bt since the setting is great... you dont feel the wait! Do Visit... and Enjoy!!!!!

Had amazing sea food. Crab and Lagoon Prawns with great salad and rice too. Very attentive staff even when busy. Only negative better furniture required as seats too low for the table.

Wonderful place and nice service. See food are the best

(Translated by Google) The best seafood restaurant in Wadduwa. The quality of the food was amazing. There is a small selection, which again confirms the freshness. The staff was super friendly and accommodating (Original) Das beste Seafoodrestaurant in Wadduwa. Die Qualität der Speisen war unglaublich gut. Es gibt eine kleine Auswahl, was hier nochmal die Frische bestätigt. Auch das Personal war super freundlich und zuvorkommend

Best seafood ever

Good food and friendly staff.. great environment too

Beach front restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating. Reasonable prices.

(Translated by Google) About the beach from our hotel "Trapobana", walk about 500m and you will find the small restaurant. The service and food are very good and super friendly. We had been to Jani twice and loved it. It is not a star restaurant and the seating is a bit hard to get used to but it has flair and the food is fantastic. If you want to experience something and like sea food, you have to go to Jani! We felt very comfortable with Jani. The prices for food and drinks are cheap. We once ate the plate with different seafood and the second time fish and shrimp. Both were very well presented and the taste was delicious. There was rice, salad, fries and delicious dips to the dishes. Thanks to Jani and his team for the wonderful time. I will never forget the food and the time with you. (Original) Über den Strand von unserem Hotel "Trapobana" aus, ungefähr 500m spazieren gehen und man findet das kleine Lokal. Der Service und das Essen sind sehr gut und super freundlich. Wir waren zwei mal bei Jani essen gewesen und waren begeistert. Es ist kein Sternerestaurant und die Sitzgelegenheiten sind etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig, aber dafür hat es Flair und das Essen ist fantastisch. Wer etwas erleben möchte und gerne Seefood mag, der muss zu Jani! Wir haben uns sehr wohl bei Jani gefühlt. Die Preise für das Essen und die Getränke sind günstig. Wir haben einmal die Platte mit verschiedenen Meeresfrüchten gegessen und beim zweiten Mal Fisch und Garnelen. Beides war sehr ansehnlich angerichtet und vom Geschmack unheimlich lecker. Es gab Reis, Salat, Fritten und köstliche Dips zu den Gerichten. Danke an Jani und sein Team für die wundervolle Zeit. Das Essen und die Zeit bei euch werde ich nie vergessen.

A place for sea food. Must give a try. I will visit again for sure

Great food and friendly staff

Tasty wood. Value for money. A fantastic place to have a beach party. Service is provided by very humble and friendly staff.

The food in JaniRest is super delicious! I have tried the best Octopus ever here. Also Crab was greatly cooked, tender meat in smooth sauce!

Very tasty and friendly place. Highly recommend!

We visited Janirest tonight. The food was excellent & Jani was an excellent host. If you're in Wadduwa please support this local restaurant, it's well worth a visit.

Very good meal here. Fresh sea food here. Price chiper than in nearest hotels. I walk there from Taprobana Hotel (11min). Enogh Clean place. Visited this restorant/cafe 2 times. It is family restorant/cafe. There are also few rooms fo rent. Owner is Jani. He has villa for rent close to this restorant/cafe.

Absolutely great food, nice people and sometimes nice party vibe with dancing. Location is the best as you can see nicely the sunset while enjoying the meal if you are early enough. Same for the room he is renting out. Location straight at the beach and if you like the sound of the waves then the beach side rooms is the one for you. Otherwise there are as well rooms to the other side of the building. i highly recomind JaniRest. As you can as well organise your Birthday parties, or any event there and you tell him what fish or seafood you want on your plate and he will do that.

Quality food at an affordable price. Tasty seafood dishes 🦞 🍛

Good place and food is good. The location is the best. Had a good time with family and servers are very helpful. Highly recommend .

Their customer service is terrible, the person who manages the place is rude. Stayed one night with a group. They haven't treated us properly also they have limited items in the menu. I would not recommend this place to anyone

Very nice place for Eat fresh Food and chil and enjoy your Holidays .

Coolest and in the same time simple place at the beach (i adore beach cafe) with nice people and super delightful food!

Very unique place to eat as it is on the beach, surrounded by wildlife but Jani prepares delicious seafood! Although it is currently shoulder season and there are not many tourists around, the fish, seafood and fruits are fresh. Can only recommend this place!

Amazingly tasty seafood, local catch, and friendly staff. We tried tuna and malath fish, and the complimentary rice and salad were also delicious. #SriLanka #Wadduwa #seafood #lobsrer

Fab location,on a lovely stretch of beach.gr8 food,lovely pleasent food.Accomodation available very cheap prices with Seaview.very fresh seafood,direct from local fishermen.

The place is nice. Right on the beach. Food is also superb. The service is slow though.

Very disappointed. We came to this place because of the good reviews and to have a nice dinner with a view at the beach. But the food was very bad. Rice was sour, fries must have been fried in very old oil, it tasted just horrible. Small salad and fish was ok but not good- ate it because we were hungry and don’t like food to throw away. The place a its self looks quite old and just loveless. Very annoying party music. It does not look like the pictures anymore. It’s a pity and could be better. The guys were friendly - one star for them, but wouldn’t recommend this place.

If you are ok with a very basic, but still absolutely clean serving on the beach, this is the place. We were there 2 days ago for late lunch and eat whole fish and calamari prepared by Jani. Super tasty and for very fair price!

(Translated by Google) The place is super! The most delicious seafood! Huge lobsters and shrimp! And the prices are sooo cheap! The place is right on the ocean, sometimes at night a disco and music, in general, were all satisfied! (Original) Место -супер! Самые вкусные морепродукты! Огромные лобстеры и креветки! И цены ооочень дешевые! Местечко прям на берегу океана,ночью иногда дискотека и музыка,вообщем,остались все довольны!

Wonderful and calm place

(Translated by Google) Ordinary cafe (Original) Обычное кафе

Fair prices.Good portions.

Very delicious prawns with tasty salad. Place is next to the beach!

(Translated by Google) I cannot evaluate food. It didn't get us. We got a meal slice. We waited 15-20min. and then we sent. (Original) Jidlo hodnotit nemuzu. Nedostalo se nas. Dostali jsme jidelni listek. Cekali jsme 15-20min. a pak jsme odesli.

Good food and courteous staff

(Translated by Google) The best restaurant in Wadduwa! The chef puts his soul into every dish! The food is not spicy, as in other restaurants !!! Seafood is the freshest and even if it is pasta with seafood, then there really are a lot of them in the dish. Atmospheric, the staff is the most spiritual and friendly! (Original) Самый лучший ресторан в Ваддува! Шеф-повар вкладывает душу в каждое блюдо! Еда не острая, как в остальных ресторанах!!! Морепродукты самые свежие и даже если это паста с морепродуктами, то их действительно очень много в блюде. Атмосферно, обслуживающий персонал самый что ни есть душевный и приветливый!

(Translated by Google) Worth a stop. (Original) Стоит зайти.

Great hospitality by Jani! We went there yesterday and it's low season. He opened the restaurant special for us. Besides the nice fish diches they cooked a special chicken dish for our non fish lovers. We absolutely recommend to come! It's a little bit hard to find, so use Google Maps ;)

If you want to have a real gateway and relaxed atmosphere fresh air with a fresh seafood go to Jain. Very good seafood and fresh juice.

(Translated by Google) Not really. The fish burned in the fire. But they brought it to us. (Original) Не очень. Рыба сгорела на огне. Но нам ее принесли.

Beautiful place and food is amazing
