    Good food, great staff and quick service. We had the karaage chicken and seaweed nachos for appetizers and tuna and prawns poke bowls for mains. Their sauces were pretty amazing including the Kochchi Mayo

    where I should start. If I could give more stars I definitely would do it. For me the best place for dinner between Weligama and mirissa. The quality of the food is really high and super yummy. Also big thanks for the guys who working there, we always feel really welcome and comfortable - we live on sri lanka and go there ones per week for a bowl. Price are totally fair. Bowld we really love you and feel glad to have you in the south - can‘t wait to have next dinner there 🥹 🤍

    Ideally located it gives out great seating in a calm environment. The menu is very focused on poke dishes and we tried one along with a katsu. The latter lacked taste and the seasoning was not great - overall a bit disappointing. The poke tasted good, felt very fresh and colorful. The drinks were excellent 👌 recommended for a stop if around for a good poke.

    We love this casual place at the beach. Food is always fresh and tasty 😋. Especially the tacos and the prawn ceviché are amazing, though I also really enjoyed the poke bowls. We can only recommend the Maru restaurant when you’re at Kurumba Bay. It’s just a minute’s walk away from the Marriott hotel if you are looking for a change in your menu options. Thilina, our server at multiple occasions, always took great care of us.

    Very tasty poke, guys have a poke constructor so you can get custom ingredients as you like, and also very good beverages. Especially cucumber&lime: really rehydrating

    Served by Dilum, he was very friendly and kind, the food was very fresh and tasty, i would definitely come back if i come back to Sri Lanka. Also the Mango and pineapple cold drink was thick and delicious!!!!

    The food was delicious with customisable options. We ordered customised bowl in chicken with sushi rice and green salad based along with siracha and garlic mayonnaise sauce. They setup was also cute. The service could be improved though. The servers were not good with english to understand our queries about menu and the Assistant Manager seemed not interested in answering them. Considering its a tourist spot, they should be welcoming and helpful when customers ask questions about their menu as the concept of poke ball might be new to alot of them. Nevertheless, the food was really good so it should be one of the places to try in welligama.

    Everything was amazing! Chamill took care of us, he was really nice from the first minute to the end. Food quality was 10/10. Super healthy and tasty, would recommend for sure and come back anytime soon! Price is cheap in comparison with the rest and you get to eat healthy and colorful!

  • 5/5 Giorgia R. 11 months ago on Google
    I just arrived in weligama and wasn’t sure where to eat until I found this cute little spot with really great food, I had a tuna poke bowl, and OH MY GOD! Best poke I had in Sri Lanka so far! Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Jemima C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to eat by the beach! Had poke bowls and juices for lunch in between surf sessions and both were really tasty. We ate at a few of the other restaurants in the same area and this was our favourite by far.

  • 4/5 Pavel 2 years ago on Google
    Very slow and lazy waiters. Annoying cigarette smoke.

  • 5/5 Настя �. 2 years ago on Google
    Have been here few times already. I enjoyed food, staff, atmosphere. After a month in Weligama I can say that this is the best place here. Quality/taste/decoration of food. Great job!

  • 5/5 Oshan G. 1 year ago on Google
    Great service - staff was patient with a few revisions to menu items and served everything quite fast. Quality of ingredients (eg. salmon sashimi) was good. Recommended.

    Very nice restaurant right on the beach! Their Poke bowl is delicious and also for a good price. We recommend trying their strawberry - watermelon lime which is super refreshing during hot sunny days ❤️

    Great service. Nice place if you’re looking for healthy and tasty foods

  • 5/5 shplss 2 years ago on Google
    Overall excellent. The best tuna poke in the south served on the worst rice in all of Sri Lanka, quite puzzling - even so I will go back again.

  • 5/5 Tomáš V. 2 years ago on Google
    Great poké bowls. We were here a couple of times and tried most of the options and every time the food was delicious. Our orders have always been delivered very quickly and the staff was happy to satisfy our extra requests. Great strawberry-watermelon limeade - must have if you go here.

  • 5/5 Ivana 2 years ago on Google
    Nice break from rice and curry. Good tuna poke, price it’s little higher. But overall I will come back.

  • 5/5 Jessica T. 1 year ago on Google
    AMAZING!!!! I ate here last and I was in heaven… the tuna burrito was out of this world… the taco was crispy seaweed and packed full of the tastiest ingredients. It’s my new favourite place to eat. You must try this place if you are in weligama.

👍👍 Amazing Lebanese restaurant! The service was great, doesn't take long to get your food. The staff are friendly and accomodating! Went back to try most of the mains as we were in Weligama for a week. Highly recommend the hummus with meat, fajitas, prawns and shawarma.
