If you want really good western food, great vibes and affordable price this is the place to be. The food was absolutely mind blowing, so many different flavours and really good quality. This is not a typical place, this is refreshing, filling, clean and friendly. They know what they’re doing. Great English so the communication is simple smooth. Swimming pool and good vibes! You won’t regret it!!!
Oh yezzzz! The food was so tasty! Balanced dishes, there are healthy options which is super nice. It felt elegant while prices are still affordable. Nice portions & such beautiful colours on the dishes. Can’t wait to eat here again!
Beautiful food professionally tailored to a western taste whilst maintaining Sri Lankan culture. The flavours vividly reflect the effort of the chef – creating unique twists on classic western food.
Top burger in Ahangama! Definitely value for money! Great food, super nice people, fun vibes and a clean place.
Delicious food specifically tailored to a western style menu but with a slight twist on some dishes and using many Sri Lankan spices. Perfect food after a surf with options for when you are super hungry or just peckish.
