If you are looking for good food and fair price in Tissamaharama this is the place to go. I highly recommend it, I didn't have good experiences in the other places, so I would return only to this one. The owner is really friendly and dedicated.

Prabath and the rest of the staff gave us a great service and went above and beyond to offer us what we wanted. He sat with us and we talked about culture, food, tourism and everything Sri Lanka related. I would recommend his restaurant to everyone visiting Tissa! Thank you :)

The food at this restaurant was beyond exceptional! For dinner my husband ordered the fish curry and I ordered the chicken curry, our friends chose western dishes and all were absolutely delicious. The attention to detail was above & beyond expectations! The Sri Lankan breakfast (which throughout Sri Lanka has to be ordered the night before as it takes time to prepare), was fantastic! For the first time during our 10 trip to Sri Lanka we were given Sri Lankan bread and it was so fresh and soft. I usually don't eat much bread but I had 2 slices and wanted more!!!

Small road side eatery in Tissa serving the best local food we tasted in Sri Lanka and at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended

We ate here on a lonely planet recommendation and weâre not disappointed. The seafood was fresh and delicious. We had calamari, salad and white rice and vegetable curry and rice, this was more than enough for us, but Niroshan gave us buffalo curd and kurakkan for desert! He was a wonderful host and even provided a complimentary tuk tuk ride home. If you are staying in Tisserera you must give this unassuming restaurant a go.....

This was probably our favourite dining experience in Sri Lanka. After a mediocre meal at a highly rated restaurant and a poor meal in our hotel, we came here on our final night in Tissa with fairly low expectations. However, we could not have been more wrong.There are 2 parts to the restaurant; a newer air conditioned part and a more atmospheric part where the buffet is served. I'm not a fan of buffets, but seeing what the other couple in the restaurant were eating we went for it. It's an open kitchen format and a team of 3 or 4 chefs spent the next 20-30 minutes freshly cooking around 10 vegetarian dishes for us that were then laid out for us on the counter as a private buffet. All of them were great, but 3 or 4 were truly exceptional. Moreover, the ladies cooking were happy to explain to my wife the steps they were taking, what the ingredients were etc. Basically a 'hands-off' cooking lesson. You also get one small meat or fish dish served to you along with the vegetarian buffet. I love my meat, but as usual in Sri Lanka this wasn't great. Completely unimportant though with the amount and quality of other food provided. An amazing experience.One suggestion: if finishing late like us, do ask them to call you a Tuk Tuk. We wandered out to look for one and ended up walking a long way down deserted streets being harassed by stray dogs....not a nice experience (though nothing to do with the restaurant)!

Excellent dinner at beautiful and cozy place! Very friendly staff! Great place to watch animals. Great location! Definitely worth the trip from the village! Very flexibel with dinner times. We were not guests at the hotel but felt very welcome nonetheless! Great local choices on the menu but also great choices for not so adventurous tastebuds (steamed rice and potatoes and grilled fish or meat).Dear Sir & Madam. thank you very much for your nice reviews and I hope to came again Sri Lanka visit Yala Peace Cottages again. kind regards Owner Manju & Staff.

We went here to celebrate my brother-in-law's birthday. We've been before for appetizers, but this was our first time for dinner. The food is delicious!! Our waitress, Michelle, was friendly and attentive. We chose to sit outside, because it was a nice evening. Inside was air conditioned and a musician playing.
