Pizza was decent after weeks of rice and curry. Thin base crispy, not too greasy. Price fair for this area, though portion could be bigger.

The curries here taste properly home-cooked, really rich and spicy the way it should be. I liked that they weren&#39;t trying to fancy it up for tourists. Seating is basic though, wooden benches get a bit hard after a while. Owner was friendly enough. Just don&#39;t come here if you&#39;re in a rush, food takes its time to come out.

The old Dutch building gives it a proper calm vibe. Curries were spot on, one of the better meals I&#39;ve had here. Staff even chatted about the place&#39;s history. A gin and tonic would&#39;ve paired nicely with the spice.

Good spot if you&#39;re in a rush. Owner made me an omelette and fruit salad fast, no waiting around. Portion was decent for the price, I wasn&#39;t left hungry. Paid maybe 800 rupees? Can&#39;t complain. Not fancy but does the job when you need something quick. Would stop by again if I&#39;m in that area.

The chicken roti curry was proper tasty and they topped up our plates without us even asking. Owner even helped us when our tuk-tuk died and threw in a free beer. Good people.

Best calamari we had in Sri Lanka hands down. Crunchy, fresh, not rubbery at all. Came here with my friends and we were all impressed. Wish we found this place earlier in our trip 😅

Stopped by for a quick lunch and grabbed the grilled fish platter. Red snapper and prawns were done right, flaky and fresh. Staff handled the kids fine, no fuss. Place was a bit busy but food came out fast enough. Solid pick if you&#39;re nearby and hungry. 🐟

The grilled prawns here are the real deal. Big, juicy, charred just right. Had them with the garlic butter sauce, that&#39;s the move. Slightly pricey for the portion but the taste makes up for it. Would get that again. The rest of the menu is okay but honestly just stick to the prawns.

The owner and his family really look after you here. Seafood platter was the standout &mdash; fresh, well cooked, decent portion for the price. Place gets busy but worth it.

Stopped by for dinner without a booking&mdash;got lucky with a table. Food was fresh and had real local flavour. Nothing fancy about the place, but it didn&#39;t need to be. Service was attentive without hovering. Only thing is it fills up fast, so booking ahead makes sense. Decent meal for the price.

Stumbled in for breakfast since it was right by our guesthouse. The roti and dhal were solid, fresh off the griddle. Sambol had a nice kick, not too overpowering. Service was friendly, pretty chill vibe. Only thing, took a bit to get the bill. But for the price, no complaints.

The rice and curry platter really reminded me of home cooking. Portion was decent for the price. Just wish there were a few more tables, felt a bit snug but still comfortable.

Loved the beachfront setting here&mdash;super chill and rustic. Menu&rsquo;s small but the seafood tasted fresh. Solid spot for a casual meal with your toes in the sand. 🐚

Right on the beach, can&#39;t beat the spot. That passionfruit mojito was seriously good. Staff were friendly too. Just wish they had a bit more shade, got pretty hot sitting there.
