We asked if they could do a veggie curry even though it wasn&rsquo;t on the menu. They just said yes and made it happen. Pretty good too, decent spice level. Service was fine, nothing to complain about. Place was a bit busy but we didn&rsquo;t wait long.

Came here for a quick bite and ended up staying way longer than planned. The seating is proper comfy, right on the sand. Owners actually give a damn about the environment, no plastic anywhere, everything recycled. Had the seafood rice, decent portion, not fancy but hit the spot. Place has a chill vibe, nothing forced about it. Wouldn&#39;t mind coming back.

The jackfruit kottu here was solid and the portion was decent for the price. Coconut pancakes were a nice little sweet finish. Owner was friendly enough, though nothing over the top.

Picked our own prawns and fish, grilled perfectly with a decent side of rice and salad. Lobster was spot on. A crisp white wine would&#39;ve made it even better, though the place got a bit loud later.

The dal makhani and garlic naan hit the spot. Zoysa looked after us well. Would&#39;ve liked a beer list with more options, but the lassi worked fine.

Stopped by for lunch inside the Fort &mdash; cozy enough, nothing fancy. Had the handmade pasta, it was decent and filling for the price. Staff let us sit around after we finished, no rush. BYO wine saved us a bit too. Just wish the portions were a touch bigger for what you pay.

Stopped by for happy hour drinks on the front patio. Cocktails were solid, well made. Sea bass was fresh, cooked properly. Chicken tikka was a bit dry though. Fine for a quick bite if you&#39;re in the area. Service was quick enough.

The seafood curry was spot on, and Sanka made sure the drinks kept coming. Nice spot for a relaxed dinner.

The breakfast spread was solid &mdash; basket of breads, big pot of coffee, enough to fill you up. Croissants were the highlight, flaky and still warm. Price felt fair for what you get, especially compared to other places around. Just wish they had more fruit options.

The staff knew the menu well and handled my food allergy without any fuss. Felt looked after, nothing was too much trouble.

Great spot. Room had a balcony facing the ocean, and you&#39;re basically 2 minutes from the water. Owners were friendly and the price was fair. Only thing is the waves are loud at night&mdash;didn&#39;t bother me, but worth knowing.

The special seafood soup was the best thing we ate in Sri Lanka, so rich and flavourful. Grilled octopus and garlic prawns were good too. Portions are massive, definitely for sharing.

The chicken curry was solid, but honestly the ginger beer was the highlight for me. Wish they had a few more wine options, though. Service was quick and friendly.

The fish BBQ was solid and the happy hour cocktails hit the spot. But honestly, the beachfront setting is what makes this place&mdash;you can just sit there and watch the waves while you eat.

Stumbled onto this place while walking the beach. Hidden in the trees, super chill vibe. Staff actually noticed when my water glass was empty. Way quieter than the main hotel strip. Had the grilled fish, decent but nothing crazy. Prices fair for the location though.

Came here with friends for dinner and the grilled fish was really good. Staff surprised us with a brownie and sang happy birthday, super sweet. Nice spot to chill with drinks and pool. 🎂

The fish and chips special was a decent size for the price. Salad on the side was fresh, not just a sad garnish. Had the banana fritters with ice cream after, that was good too. Place was busy but we got our food quick enough. Fine if you&#39;re hungry and don&#39;t want to spend too much.

The fish curry here had real heat, not that mild tourist stuff. Coconut sambol was fresh, tangy. Rice cooked proper, fluffy. Portion decent for the price. Place was busy with locals, always a good sign. Maybe wait a bit for the food, but it came out hot. That prawn fry, crispy outside, juicy inside. I&#39;d eat that again.

The white wine here is easily the best I&#39;ve had on the beach. Staff were friendly, Nikeshala especially looked after us well. Place is inside the Vibration Hotel, first floor.

The cooking class was the best thing we did in Galle. Started at the market picking up local veggies and fruits I&#39;d never seen before, then headed back to cook with the family. The whole thing felt hands-on and relaxed. Eating what we made at the end was satisfying. Price felt fair for what you get. Just wish we had more time to try making the curry paste from scratch again.

Solid chicken wrap and the Sri Lankan curry was proper. Place built around a tree, two floors, kinda cozy. Prices fair for what you get. Nothing fancy but does the job.

Came for the lunch buffet and honestly the spread was solid. Lots of options, everything fresh. But wow it&rsquo;s spicy 😅 I&rsquo;m usually okay with heat but even I had to pace myself. Wish they had more mild stuff for balance. Still, if you like bold flavors, you&rsquo;ll enjoy it.

Tuna steak was solid, cooked just right. Mega fish and chips came out hot and crispy, portion was huge. Mashed potatoes were smooth, good side. Place was chill for a quick lunch, no fuss. Got my food fast enough, which I appreciated. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area and want something easy.

Great cocktails and fair prices right on the beach. Staff were friendly too.
