    I have been in Sri Lanka for three months and arrived at this restaurant not that hungry. Well, I can say very confidently that I have never had such an incredibly tasting Sri Lankan meal since being here. Six different aspects of the meal. So much food. I ate every little bite. Totally blown away, I couldn’t recommend this place enough. Such kind people. SO affordable for the massive portions of GOOD quality food. The whole experience was perfect. Thank you so much. We will be back again and again.

    Super nice place, extremely authentic food and great service! Had the vegetable kottu and the chocolate roti as desert. Both stunning! And: owners showed us how to play "karam" (Asian billiard like game).

    Nice restaurant with local food and good vibe! We ate rice and curry 2 times and it was delicious. Also, they change curry ingredients which makes it more interesting. Huge portions and fair price.

    Their vegetable rice and curry is the best! And such big portions for the price. You can actually share one plate and order extra rice or roti.

    The food here is incredible. You gets loads and it truly is value for money. One of the best curries we’ve had in Sri Lanka. However loses one star on the toilet being worse than the one out of Trainspotting, how can such a nice place, serving up quality food, not make sure their toilets were not up to the same standard. Sort that and 5 stars all the way.

    Place was busy sometimes you will share a table. Specialty is curries with rice. I had a chicken burger and it was good. Did not like the honey roti too much, burnt honey doesn't taste good but the rest no complaints.

    best best best rice & curry in Weligama! extremely friendly owners who quickly became friends. had dinner here almost every single day of my stay in the South! Greetings & I’ll be back!❤️

  • 4/5 Edu R. 6 months ago on Google
    The restaurant offers one of the best rice & curry I've tried. On the other hand, the rotis are kinda hard and the prices aren't too good. Not my favourite option around the area.

  • 5/5 Rachel G. 6 months ago on Google
    Came here for supper, after our homestay recommended it. Was not disappointed! Started off with a delicious mango lassi (first in Sri Lanka), then shared the veggie rice and curry and the cheese and veggie roti. Both amazing. Roti was our favourite. The 5 curry selection was great, favourite being the pumpkin and the dahl. Service was fab. All around great vibes.

    Sign outside the restaurant reads "The BEST Rice & Curry in Weligama" and they were NOT lying! Every dish was delicious, I got the fish rice and curry for 800rupees and the portions were huge, well worth the money. The fish was tuna and the sauce it came in was the best we have had in the 5weeks we've been in Sri Lanka. The service was also excellent, friendly and fast (we've found this hard to come by in most places)! We'll definitely be returning 😊

    Pretty place with good staff. I ordered a chicken cheese kottu. It was delicious. King coconut was not ready, pineapple juice was extra water added.

  • 5/5 Candace M. 4 months ago on Google
    Delicious food, lots of it for a good price. We had the curry and then banana chocolate roti as others suggested and were not dissipointed. Cute, quiet side street and good atmosphere. Would highly recommend

  • 2/5 Mat T. 6 months ago on Google
    Good vibe and atmosphere but the food isn't enjoyable. Had one of the worst burgers of my life here. The chicken burger patty was 2mm thick and hard as stone. Come for the music and a drink but forget the food. French fries also on the low side.

  • 5/5 Oli S. 4 months ago on Google
    Really great hoppers and curry. So flavoursome! I have allergies and I felt safe to eat / felt looked after. Lovely family restaurant

  • 5/5 Yulia D. 2 years ago on Google
    The best affordable local food! Loved the flavour, amazing service! The best vegan roti and rice and curry. We were coming back and back there

  • 5/5 Jim S. 11 months ago on Google
    The food they serve here is amazing. Big portions with a lot of taste. We had kotthu and rice&curry and they were great! I would recommend this place!

  • 5/5 Shanora W. 10 months ago on Google
    The colorful mandala wall art and boho ambience of the place is what first caught my eye. Tried out their fried rice with a king coconut cleanse (perfect for the hottest hours of the day) - and it was delicious! If you're looking for a quick and tasty meal fix in a cosy nook of Weligama - do check out Dulnetha's. You won't regret it.

  • 5/5 Elly G. 1 year ago on Google
    Great spot for decently priced Sri Lankan food - went for the curry and rice and we were not disappointed. So many different curries and all were delicious - fish was a bit over cooked in the fish curry but everything else was wonderful The pumpkin curry was AMAZING!

  • 2/5 Swiadi A. 1 year ago on Google
    Food below average curries and smoothies. Adding a lot of potatoes beans and stuffing items to your „Prawns“ and „Chicken“ curries. Literally just one small bowl of what you actually want and an increase in price of 700 rupees between. Was recommend to come here but this is just plain simple South Asian kitchen

  • 5/5 Ignė K. 2 years ago on Google
    Really the best rice&curry in Weligama. Very good prices and amazing service. P.S. Used to take 1 rice curry for 2 persons since portions are really big.

  • 5/5 Alice M. 1 year ago on Google
    Says best rice and curry and have to say, we were there for our first dinner and it was quite hard to enjoy any after that because they set the bar very high! Massive portions, could never finish it and we tried few times :D

  • 5/5 Mikka P. 1 year ago on Google
    The fish with 5 curry dishes was a delicious and filling spread. The jackfruit curry was my favorite - at first I thought it was pork. My meateater self was pleasantly surprised by the vegetarian curries. This was a great introduction to local Sri Lankan cuisine set back from the main road.

  • 5/5 Patrick S. 2 years ago on Google
    Had dinner here with a friend and the rice and curry was excellent. I had the chicken rice and curry and the pieces of chicken were big. Service was fast and friendly. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Darya W. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was so good we ended up coming twice in a row. Try their rice & curry and don’t miss out on Kottu (but watch out it’s a bit spicy). The service is friendly and attentive, the food was ready super fast. They even offer you a mosquito spray in the evening which was very sweet and much appreciated. It’s located on a charming street and has a very nice cozy feel. Totally worth a try if you are looking for an authentic experience. Oh and the portions are huge!

  • 4/5 Petra F. 1 year ago on Google
    Literally the most delicious rice and curry but one star off for still using plastic straws

  • 5/5 Rochelle M. 1 year ago on Google
    The most delicious curry and rice, great value, great service and a lovely eating area. Our favourite place to eat in Weligama

  • 5/5 Rick R. 1 year ago on Google
    Great rice & curry, every time again and again it’s delicious 😋 The price is a little higher then some other spots, but the portion is humongous as well 😯 We didn’t try anything else here, so can’t judge other things, but the rice & curry is great! Also the maxi mango smoothie is amazing 🤤

  • 5/5 Maria C. 2 years ago on Google
    Very very tasty rice and curry, one of two best that we had in Sri-Lanka, and the second one was home made. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Ravindu G. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best restaurants in Weli and entire Down South, with good food, good customer service and affordable prices, with a beautiful and unique vibe. Highly recommended for anyone. 100%

  • 5/5 Maurits 1 year ago on Google
    We came her for a little after-surf snack, ended up eating here 5 days in a row. The Rice & Curry chicken is amazing, roti vegetable chicken as well, the mixed fruit juices are also really good. Also the staff is friendly and the location is great!

  • 5/5 Ryan G. 2 years ago on Google
    Great atmosphere, friendly staff and an amazing curry! The curry & rice comes with 6 small side plates of different curries/dishes which were all great, would definitely recommend to anyone in the area.
