    Good food, reasonable prices. One of the best place to try lobster. French fries or salad is included if you order a lobster. Place is decorated by customers - walls and ceiling has their visit dates so it looks interesting. During lunch or dinner time Red Lobster is crowded so you may not find a free table.

    After quarantine I came for a food tour with my cousins however, with 4.1 rating and therefore we thought the taste of food will be good. We ordered 2 sea food rice dishes and 1 chicken deviled dish and 1 deviled beef dish.The taste of these dishes were so bad, sea food rice doesn’t even had sea food in it and the beef was tasteless and the sauce is so watery its like eating sponge and the deviled chicken dish only had the bone pieces. And you don’t even believe the total price of these dishes are Rs4000. Its really over priced with the quantity and the quality of this dishes, from our food tour this is the worst place. I know after this covid situation they might have hard time to keep up the business however it doesn’t apply for the quality of the food they serve hope they learn and improve.

    The food is great! Portions are big and everything is really tasty. They brought everything quite quick. 3 stars only for the delicious meals. The rest is rather disappointing. Wine seem to be cheap although not costs so, and they don't have all the options from the menu on hands. Toilets are just awful :( don't go there if you can. Lots of russian (like 99%) visitors.

    Thoroughly enjoyed every moment at the restaurant. The Environment and Ambiance amazingly satisfying. The Quality, Quantity, Taste and Presentation of the Food undoubtedly off the Hook. Will definitely come back when we do come to Hikkaduwa.. Compliments to the Chef and the Staff.

    Amazing quality, prices and food that you get for your money, the portions are delicious and Very big. The local is clean and the staff are very friendly and helpful. You should definitely give it a try. The fish platter is a must to try,it was delicious, it is big enough for 3 or 4 people, or a very hungry couple.

    Food is good. We had french fries, pork rice, 2 lime juice (which is little bit bitter) and a dish of hot butter prawns. Good food.

    Best to order seafood rice. Their rice dishes are the best. Some of the dishes are not tasty, like too much salt. So you get the salt taste first. Soups are not recommended as too watery. It's just stock water with whatever item you order. We were 5 people and the rice was too much. Parking would be a problem only a few slots in front of the restaurant. Clean washrooms. And helpful staff. The seafood platter looks good even though we didn't order it. So another option. Enjoy.

    Great restaurant with very honest staff! I stopped in twice during my stay and really enjoyed my meals, but the craziest thing that happened was that I left my pouch there on accident for over an hour with all of my money and cards inside, yet when I came back they had it for me upstairs with everything inside! I recommend the chicken fried rice, chicken curry, and the vegetable stir fry!

    (Translated by Google) The most delicious cuisine on the coast of all that I have tried there. I especially want to note the signature seafood soup - an overeating (Original) Самая вкусная кухня на побережье из всех, что там пробовал. Особенно хочется отметить фирменный суп с морепродуктами - объедение

  • 4/5 Thomas H. 10 months ago on Google
    My go-to place when I don't feel like cooking. These guys know how to make fish taste good, and I totally recommend coming here to try grilled fish or seafood soup. Try mango-maracuya fresh juice mix as well or make your own mix of flavors! Come here at sunset to watch a beautiful spark of orange over your head. Atmosphere is bland though. The interior is poor and there's graffiti on the walls that make the place look like an abandoned bunker. Service is okay.

    Very tasty lobster, but unfortunately not all items on the menu were available. Reasonable prices, considering the quality. Didn't like the idea of decorating the interior with lettering.

    Recommended by hotel lucky elephant and thankfully so. Lovely meal upstairs in a busy restaurant. The walls are covered in pen with people signatures and drawings which was interesting. A big menu with plenty of choice. The portion sizes are massive, see picture this would have easily fed two (special red lobster noodles) but will add the quality taste wise was also there which was good. Size did put us off near end as felt like eating for sake of it.

    Amazing place! Chicken with cashew, chicken with sweet and sour sauce are highly recommended! Big plates, beer. We stayed in Hikkaduwa five nights and ate here every evening! Delicious and not expensive🙂 Update: also you should try crabs. Very big plate even for two. And lobster was delicious!!

    (Translated by Google) Disgusting place. Saucers were brought to the fish instead of an adequate plate size. Dirty dishes were not removed from the table even after two requests. The dishes are not very clean. The food is not tasty, very fresh. I do not recommend under any conditions (Original) Отвратительное место. К рыбе принесли блюдца вместо адекватного размера тарелок. Грязную посуду со стола не убирали даже после двух просьб. Посуда не очень чистая. Еда не вкусная, очень пресная. Не рекомендую ни при каких условиях

    (Translated by Google) A good cafe, menu and tastes are more close to the European taste, everything is not very spicy and very satisfying. Huge portions, low prices, cool jus and ice cream, a special dish is tasty and large. (Original) Хорошее кафе, меню и вкусы более приближены к европейскому вкусу, все не очень острое и очень сытное. Огромные порции, низкие цены, классные джусы и мороженное, специальное блюдо вкусное и большое.

  • 5/5 Kenan S. 4 years ago on Google
    Food was good, it really has an authentic Sri Lankan taste to it even on a western dish, it was definitely worth the money. Plus the gibberish on the walls were creative!

  • 4/5 Ирина �. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) One of the few places in Hikkaduw where you can have breakfast at 9am. Prices are average, food too. There are more delicious dishes and not really. (Original) Одно из немногих мест в Хиккадуве, где можно позавтракать в 9 утра. Цены средние, еда тоже. Есть более вкусные блюда и не очень.

  • 4/5 Dania F. 2 years ago on Google
    an ordinary dining room where they cook well, it doesn’t pull on a restaurant in terms of level, although lobsters are cooked well there. and delicious grilled calamari. But for some reason they pour mayonnaise on a salad with shrimp and avocado.😖

  • 4/5 Yulia K. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place, tasty food. A lot of Russian comments on walls. We took the biggest plate of seafood for only two of us. It was too much 😄 maybe it’s for 3-4 people. The only one thing we didn’t like here is a bit overdried shrimps and lobsters

  • 4/5 David L. 1 year ago on Google
    Service is slow here but that is because it is very busy...the seafood is fresh and delicious and they make proper sri lankan curries as long as you ask them to. It is lively and popular and a real must visit if you go to hikkaduwa ..all washed down with ice cold lion beer

  • 1/5 Andrey L. 10 months ago on Google
    Lousy place, lousy service. The guy took my order and forgot about it. After a 45-minute wait I left the place with no food. Interior is also awful. Though I guess it is just ok for drunken Russians. Never ever go to this dirty and lousy hole!

  • 1/5 Очень �. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I don’t understand why so many reviews on the walls ??? Overcooked fish with fries, portion for children, adult price. Fried rice with fish is also a big minus. You can eat soup, took fish. Fresh was diluted with water decently and sugar is at the bottom of the glass🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Damn it’s not tasty ((I do not recommend it! (Original) Не понимаю за что столько отзывов на стенах??? Рыба с фри пережаренная, порция детская-цена взрослая. Жаренный рис с рыбой-тоже большой минус. Суп есть можно, брал рыбный. Фреш был разбавлен водой прилично и сахар лежит на дне стакана🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️Блин и тот не вкусный(( не рекомендую!

    Great place to eat tasty food and delicious smoothies. We ate a very big breakfast at 400 rupees and went back for lunch, what a surprise seeing friends at the lobster too 😂😂😂 Lunch was simply delicious but portions are massive, we couldn't finish the meal but our friends helped us. Go and have breaky, lunch and supper.

    Located in Hikkaduwa. Good place to eat. Foods are tasty and cheap. But if you are in hungry not the best place to eat because they get much time to take the foods we ordered.

  • 5/5 Sangeeth Harshendra P. 5 years ago on Google
    We was searching for a good place to have our dinner and mange to get in to this place after seeing the menu, crowd and the ambiance. Located just 750m away from station on the road side (other side beach), RL is one of the best guarantied place to have your meal. Staffs (young folks) are super friendly and will help you to select the menu. Food is really great and they have many varieties in the menu. Portions are very huge and advised to check with staffs before ordering. Price is very cheap. comparatively best place in town in-terms of pricing and food variety. They also serve liquor incurring beer. Ambiance is amazingly super cool at first floor, especially the wall art. Don’t forget to ask for permanent marker to leave your signature. Overall amazing place, best quality food at a very reasonable price. Highly recommend for both locals and tourist. - PS H You’re Trip Advisor
