A good clean restaurant with attentive staff and a good choice of items on the menu. Booking may not be essential as they have a good number of tables and was fairly quiet on the night we went. Curried meals can be ordered to suit tastes but be careful, their interpretation of medium is far hotter than ours.

Really good, fresh seafood on a lakeside setting. We took the opportunity of paying a little extra to be taken on an atmospheric pontoon ride on the adjacent lake before our dinner. The lobster was delicious. The restaurant is a short tuk-tuk journey from the resort hotels on nearby Bentota Beach.

The most romantic place to wine and dine in Bentota.
Reviewed By anisha8188 - Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Malli's Seafood Restaurant is about a 5 min walk from Avani Bentota - the resort we were staying at. And I'm so so glad we managed to come here for a meal one evening.
The Terrace Seating overlooks the railway tracks. Beautiful restaurant, friendly service, and absolutely delicious food.
We couldn't get enough of their Thai Prawn Curry! The grilled fish was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Just everything was perfect.
This place should definitely be on your list if you're visiting Bentota

We went in to a lot of trouble locating Hilda’s - as it was highly recommended by other reviewers on TripAdvisor. Their phone did not work so locating the place was even more difficult. Indeed it’s a fantastically located beach shack. However their food was ordinary, and overpriced!

Me and my girlfriend were in Bentota for one night and wanted a lovely meal in the evening. We had heard this restaurant was special and we weren't disappointed. The restaurant was beautiful, all open with great views out at the ocean. We were made to feel very special with the staff very attentive and they provided us with extra courses free of charge! As you would expect for such beautiful food and scenery, this was one of our more expensive meals but it was worth it! It was about £75 for the two of us and we each had a starter, main and a few drinks each, so more expensive than your average Sri Lankan meal but still great value for money and we left very full from the great quality food. I had the mutton curry and the curry with a wide range of sides was incredible! We would highly recommend this to anyone staying in Bentota and looking for a special dinner to remember the place by. Certainly memorable!

This was our third visit to the Awanhala Beach Restaurant but not for lunch this time - only a drink as we planned lunch elsewhere. Nevertheless, we enjoyed the stop and the very good drinks, especially the fresh lime drinks, which were excellent.

Best food we ate in Sri Lanka and reasonably priced with no hidden charges. Many choices on the menu and very attentive, friendly staff. Not only the best in Sri Lanka but the quality was better than many other restaurants I have eaten in throughout the world
