Our first night in bentota we had heard good reviews about the food etc and made this our first choice the food was average Tom Yam Soup was very tasty and there were 4 or 5 large prawns our chicken fried rice was nice but...very little chicken in it my devilled chicken disappointing very little meat tasted more like sweet and sour I think the problem is the waiters don’t listen to what the customer says overall it was ok but we won’t eat here againMore

Worst food | Poor customer service | Long waiting time Ordered Sri Lankan rice and curry and the waitress said it includes some vegetables to go with it. When the food served they said we ordered chicken curry . After having conversation regarding the same...they bought us curries which made for their STAFF as mention by the waitress. There was a fly in one of our ordered food. When we were complaining about the same and ask manager to show up the waiter ask a tuk driver to come visit and threat us. Waited for more than one hour to get us this terrible food and waiter ended up saying they WON’T ACCOMMODATE ANY LOCALS OR INDIANS ever to their restaurant and surprisingly that was the solution they had for the spoiled terrible food which we paid thousands on. If you want to spoil your whole trip don’t forget to step in and have terrible foods with fliesMore

Was very much looking forward to going here after reading all the good reviews. Sadly we didn't enjoy. There wasn't any warmth really from the staff. The curry was very watery more like a soup, and not much flavour. We did see another table having...fresh fish and wished we'd ordered that, it looked amazing. The waiter tried to sell the tiger prawns to us and got quite pushy, but we really wanted to try the curry. When we finished our mains they asked if we wanted pudding we declined politely, then the server said I'll get your bill, we paid, we didn't get a thank you, goodbye nothing. We just left, we won't be returning.More

We ate her on more than one occasion and each time the food, the staff and the service was excellent. On one night was my wifes' birthday and the staff provided some complimentary extras, set out balloons around our table and even got her a...cake. Highly recommended if your in Bentota.More

After 1 month travelling round Sri Lanka, Bentota is our last stop and I can honestly say with zero hesitation or doubt that the prawn curry last night was THE single best thing we have eaten anywhere. Absolutely delicious flavour, perfectly spiced, huge portion and...cheaper than almost anywhere else we have found along the south west coast. We told them last night that we will be going back again tonight and I can’t wait. Shoutout also to the hugely generous and kind man who appears to own it, offering us free ice cream, as well as mosquito repellant and aloe Vera fresh from the garden. Really can’t rate it highly enoughMore

Small place right next to the railway tracks in Bentota. The food was very nice, and very, very friendly and helpful team running the restaurant. We had the grilled shrimp and chicken noodles, both were really good.

Had a lovely meal at this restaurant. All staff were extremely friendly with good live music. Very reasonably priced including the drinks with no service charge so don't be tight and give the tip they deserve. Would use again and support the local people.

Visited the restaurant twice with lovely food and good service. We booked again to have a fresh fish dish. When we arrived the table we had reserved was occupied and the two waiters including one who had taken our reservation, had completely forgotten the booking!!!!!!...It was very disappointing. I WhatsApp the owner later on, who has not returned my message. Needless to say we not use the restaurant that night or since.More
