We were a family of 4 adults and a baby of 2.5 years old. We wanted to try a seafood platter. Price table/Menu mentioned price Rs 1900 for a sea food platter with (Crabs, Cuttle Fish, Fish, Prawns) with French fries and Salad. We made sure to confirm if the portion was sufficient for 4 people and we were told YES by the owner lady there. When the bill arrived we were charged Rs 6000 for the platter. When questioned why, the owner lady said they used Jumbo prawns in the platter and that's expensive..we never requested for Jumbo Prawns. Even if they did use Jumbo prawns it was more than three times the price mentioned on the price list. Be sure to confirm price before eating. In addition, service charge of 10% was added on the bill without any prior indication.

During our one Month trip through Sri Lanka, we stayed 2 days in Silaa cabana (great place to stay!) and ate in the silaa cafe. Thanks to the chef Max and his experience in being a high end chef for years in resorts and expat compounds around the world, the food here was the best we had on our whole trip! You can stay and eat here all day:For breakfast, the banana pancakes were delicious. For lunch or dinner, the prawns were super fresh and the devilled sauce was delicious. Also the accompanying fruit salad was great. Everything was cheap as well.If you’re not hungry, you can always visit this place with great athmosphere and personnel to have a talk with max about anything, but try food, music or his new Italian coffee machine for a great passionate answer :-)Thanks for the great time!

This was one of my favourite places we ate at during our 2 week trip in Sri Lanka. We actually ate here 4 times! We only ate Sri Lankan dishes, which were rich and spicy, just as they should be. It felt like we were getting proper sri lankan food, not the watered-down stuff you find at many of the neighbouring places. Highlights were the crab curry, some of the vegetable side dishes and the whole fish. The staff were also all nice guys. Talkative and friendly. Good luck with the new place guys!Alan (UK) and Josephine (Belgium)

We had the crab curry and it was very good. At 750 Rs we got 2 smaller crabs in a thick dark brown curry. At this price you are always going to get a smaller crab...it just makes you work harder for the meat. We had a salad. garlic naan and the chop suey which had a nice sesame flavour. The restaurant has no atmosphere but is large and clean. The staff was curtious and efficient. There's not many restaurants around the Dutch Bay area so you can't go wrong going there.

Only south indian vegetarian restaurent including some northindian dishes in trincomalee where u cannot find other good vegetarian restaurent in trincomalee. Hotel is attached to laxminarayana temple located between Trincomalee and nilaveli. U cannot find this hotel with the same name in google. Type "balagi temple, nilaveli" then u can find in the google map. Google may change it excact name in future. Also u can find the with Sri laxminarayana Perumal Kovil in google map. Low prices with good quality and great taste with clean and temple side ambience.
