  Beautiful food, lovely setting and warm genuine hospitality. A must visit while in Tangalle! The fresh prawns with garlic and ginger sauce were particularly good and the added touch of giving us playing cards while we waited for our food was much appreciated.

  Very busy with lots of reservations which was a good sign of things to come! The owner was really nice and stopped to chat with us about places to visit. Food was excellent, we had the four veg curry. They close on Poya (full moon)

  Do yourself a favor and eat here! You can not miss it, it is under a mango tree. If you do not believe me, sit on the patio and look up. Fish of the day is delicious! The best I had in 15 day trip through Sri Lanka. This was the only restaurant we ate twice at while on our trip. Dish comes with a tasty sauce, which reminds me of seven spices sauce from Thailand. It comes with salad and fries. I am from the capital of french fries and they are way better in Sri Lanka than back home. Restaurant is run by a local family, which lives at the back end of the building. Their son is a waiter and is always running around making sure you have everything you need. He will make sure to bring you playing cards to kill time while your food is being cooked. Finally dad is around to make sure that guests are happy. I believe he organizes tours as well, so he might not be there during the day. But at night he will be there making sure your stay is wonderful and food came out as excepted. I wished they had a cooking class so I could learn and take their delicious recipe home with me.

  Great food, got chicken fried rice and a beer. Very good service and fast. Nice atmosphere and not very expensive.
