    Truely a lovely place. We saw this restaurant on Google Maps and didn‘t expect much, but we left this place so happy that we actually came back twice! This nice and gentle little family is truely giving their best to please the customer. The food is cooked by the mother in her own kitchen and eating in Sri Lanka really can‘t get more authentic than this. And everything we had was really delicious.

    Lovely little family run restaurant in quite street. We had breakfast which was dal, coconut roti and coconut sambal. Very large portions and a great way to start the day.

    Great Sri Lankan curry and fresh juices. This restaurant is owned and operated by a lovely family from Weligama who hosted us for a delicious lunch for us and our visiting relatives (including young kids). Everyone loved it!

    Really good food! We had the vegetable rice and curry and an egg rice and curry! Both were fantastisch and the rotti were also really superb! It’s a family restaurant and the father is the cook. Formerly he was a cook at a big restaurant/hotel in weligama! 10/10 recommendation

    Amazing authentic home-cooked Sri Lankan food at this family owned (the family lives right next door) and you dine in their garden. Do not come here expecting a luxury experience (yes it's 5 stars) but come if you would love to experience warm hospitality in a laid-back environment. It's clean and simple. I loved watching the locals riding past on their bicycles or walking home from school, this place is located in one of the back alleys and not along the main road. We were staying at eraeliya villas and got here by scooter (short 2 mins ride). The family is very smiley and friendly, son runs the restaurant, mum cooks, dad used to be a chef at one of the restaurants/hotels, daughter helps in kitchen too. We loved the curry set (price ranges from 1000-1700 lkr) where you choose a curry (fish, chicken, prawn, cuttlefish) and it comes with 3 other sides (that day they gave us pineapple brinjal, pumpkin, lady's fingers), rice and pappadum it was super flavorful. I'm not usually a fan of curry but I finished everything! Also had the egg noodles 1100 lkr (the portion is super huge. It's like 4 times the size of what I would usually eat) We tried to ask them for recommendations whether the prawn and cuttlefish curry was better but we had a bit of difficulty conveying that so best to confirm your order with them before they head off to the kitchen Also they accept USD payment, the son initially said no due to the communication barrier but later on the dad told us that USD is fine and they will give change in LKR Definitely one of our more memorable experiences in weligama !

    Lovely family business with local food (tell them if you want it spicy!). Prices are ok (not expensive but also not super cheap). The food was really delicious and portions are great too. They also have rooms.

    Great food (We had the best chicken kothu so far) and the curry was also amazing. The staff was super friendly and quick! We definitely recommend this restaurant!

    Great service. Really nice to see some authentic food. The host even showed us the vegetable patch where they grow most of their ingredients. Really really lovely. Will return when again passing through town.

    Great authentic local food, which as I found out, is made with mainly fresh and homegrown vegetables and ingredients! And a very welcoming and lovely family, that gladly teaches you some words in Singhalese! Can only recommend to check it out! 🙏😇

👍👍 Best food I had so far in Sri Lanka. Small family run place in the home of the owner, tragically located in this slighty of the track area after a gas explosion destroyed the restaurant location at the beach front a few years ago. They are saving up to rebuild but business is difficult away from the...

😐 Nice place to be however there’s a huge margin of improvement in a very important aspect. Me and my friend group went for sound bath, yoga classes, breakfast. One thing I’d love to see from them is some more investment towards Sri Lankan people. If this is already being done, I have not seen it and...
