Solid fish and beer combo. Mango lassi was a good call on the side. Quick service, friendly enough. Decent deal for what you get.

The seafood platter was decent but honestly a bit pricey for what you got. The full fish with rice and salad was the best part though. View was nice but you&#39;re paying for it.

Grilled king prawns were spot on, juicy and charred just right. Beachfront spot with a chill vibe, though service was a bit slow at times.

Lovely spot right on the beach. Owner and his family were super friendly, made us feel welcome. Food was tasty and portions were generous. Had the beach almost to ourselves most days. Great for chilling out.

The garlic butter prawns were a solid portion and really tasty. Owner even offered us a ride back since it was dark outside. Kind gesture, made the night easier.

Quick bite turned out better than expected. Seafood was fresh and the staff didn&#39;t keep me waiting long. Solid spot if you&#39;re in Tangalle and hungry.

Came here for a quick lunch and honestly the AC was the highlight &mdash; such a relief after walking around. Food was solid, nothing fancy but well cooked. Got the chicken curry and it hit the spot. Place was clean and quiet too. Wouldn&#39;t mind coming back if I&#39;m in the area again.

The tom yum had a proper kick to it and the baked fish was done just right. Good spot to bring a few friends for a casual catch-up over dinner. 🔥

Grilled fish was properly charred, calamari tender. Fresh catch, no fishy smell. That&#39;s all I care about. Place sits right on the sand but I barely noticed the view. Owner came by twice, fine, whatever. Price fair for what you get. Would eat here again if I&#39;m in the area.

The kottu was decent for the price, not the best I&#39;ve had but okay. Owner split our tip with the wait staff right in front of us, that was nice to see.

Came for the sunset and honestly the beach view did most of the work 😄 shrimp and banana fritters were tasty, though we waited a bit for the bill. pricey for the area but okay for a chill hangout.

Came here for a late lunch and grabbed one of the beach tables. Fish and chips were decent, crispy enough. Liked that you get sunbeds free with an order, made it easy to just sit around after eating. Service was friendly but a bit slow when it got busy. Fine spot if you&#39;re not in a rush.

Came here on a whim and so glad I did. It&#39;s run by two sisters and their mom, which already felt nice. The curry was really good, fresh and full of flavor. Just be ready to wait a bit since everything&#39;s cooked to order. Totally fine by me.

The rice and curry here was simple but really tasty. Portions felt honest for the price. Place isn&#39;t fancy, but the lady serving was so warm. Just wish they had a bit more seating, got a little cramped. Still, left feeling full and happy.

The owner actually sat down with us and explained the whole menu, which I really appreciated. Food was proper Sri Lankan home style. Seating is basic but comfortable enough for a relaxed meal.

The fried prawns were the real deal. Crispy outside, juicy inside, and the bread pockets soaked up all that garlic butter. Beer came properly cold too, not lukewarm like most places. Would&#39;ve liked a bigger portion for the price, but the flavors made up for it. That garlic hit stays with you.

The grilled fish was fresh and not too oily &mdash; felt way lighter than your usual restaurant meal. I liked that they didn&rsquo;t drown everything in sauce. Place was pretty calm too, easy to sit and eat without noise. Just wish the rice portion was a bit bigger for the price.

Came here for a lazy beach afternoon and it hit the spot. Cold beer + shoestring fries did the job. Owner was chill, not hovering. Bay&rsquo;s calm enough for a quick swim too 🌊
