This area offers amazing views of the Sigiriya Rock Fortress, the most iconic landmark in Sri Lanka.The restaurant serves eastern, western, Chinese and Sri Lankan food. We ordered fried noodles, koththu roti and juices. The food was delicious in generous portions.

We joined the cooking class and honestly it was one of the best things we did here. He&rsquo;s really patient and explains things clearly, so even I could follow along. Left feeling way more confident about making Sri Lankan curries at home. The meal we cooked together was tasty too. Just wish we had more time to ask questions after.

Stopped by for a few drinks with friends last week. The lighting and music set a decent vibe, nothing too loud. Prices are fair for the area. We ordered some food too&mdash;nothing memorable, but it fills the gap. I&#39;d stick to the cocktails though; they were better than the food. Service was a bit slow when it got busy, but we weren&#39;t in a rush.

Masala dosa was really good &mdash; crispy and the potato filling had just the right spice. Service was quick too. Seating&#39;s a bit basic, feels like a canteen, but for a fast breakfast it works.

The melts are solid, 10/10 easily. If you already like Pizza Hut, these are worth grabbing. Pizza itself was decent, cheese ratio was good. Place was busy when I went, but the order came out quick. No complaints for the price.

Stopped by for a quick lunch near Trinity College. Cheese mushroom kottu was pretty good, decent portion for the price. Chicken pasta was fine too. Only thing is the stairs &mdash; no lift, so keep that in mind if you&#39;ve got heavy bags. Nothing fancy, but it did the job.

The thali here is proper home-style cooking, generous portions for the price. Owner remembered me from last visit, that personal touch goes a long way. Just wish they&#39;d open earlier on weekends.

Came here for lunch and ended up coming back for dinner too. Local food was solid and prices fair. Staff were friendly enough. Good spot if you&#39;re staying in Kandy.

The grilled seafood platter was pretty solid &mdash; prawns and calamari came out nicely charred, not overcooked. I sat near the window and the light was nice, but the chairs are those low wooden ones that get uncomfortable after a while. Kept shifting around by the end. Fine for a quick meal though.

The mutton kottu was properly spicy and the biriyani had good flavour. Shehan looked after us well. Place was clean, though it got a bit busy later.

Making your own curry then eating it right after? That&rsquo;s the best part. The flavors were so fresh and it felt way more rewarding than just ordering.

Came here with a couple of friends and honestly the river view is the main reason I&#39;d go back. We grabbed a table outside, breeze was nice. Service was quick too, no complaints there. Food was okay, nothing crazy but fine for hanging out. Maybe a bit pricey for what you get, but the vibe makes up for it.

The &#39;couch potato&#39; combo is a solid pick if you&#39;re torn between sweet and savory. You get a full meal plus half a smoothie bowl, which felt like a proper deal. Food came out fresh, nothing fancy but well done. Only thing is the place got a bit busy around noon, so finding a seat took a minute. Still, I&#39;d grab it again if I&#39;m in the area.
