Very nice restaurant that serves loads of different local specialities (Buffet) so that you can try everything.Really lovely atmosphere with a nice view over the rice fields next to the restaurant. A little bit off the main road and therefore hard to find.

If one is visiting Polonnaruwa or going through enroute to Pasikudah this is an awesome place for lunch. It offers authentic clean SriLankan food with a village ambiance. The service is with the typical SriLankan hospitality and smile. The restrooms are clean. The food was very good and had both veg and non-veg options so all can enjoy. The prices are also very reasonable. There is ample parking as well. The place borders the elephant protection fence so if lucky one can see some elephants. We managed to get a glimpse from far. All in all can recommend this place.

Our driver offered us an authentic local dining experience and we were not disappointed. A little off the beaten track and set beside paddy fields in a fairly basic building constructed of local materials with a dirt floor and rustic tables and chairs, the restaurants and toilets were absolutely spotless. We were offered an extensive range of 14 local hot and cold dishes each of which we sampled. All dishes were really delicious and it was pleasing to try such a range of tastes. The ladies who provided our meal were very friendly and totally charming and it was wonderful to see them offering such an authentic opportunity for tourists to sample the local foods in a rural environment.
