do not, whatever you do, have the taster menu.7000rs (plus 25% tax and service charge), for food you cannot see, and there is barely enough on each course to taste.we found it to be very pretentious, black crockery, black lampshades with VERY low light levels.if the first bite of food is with your eyes, well, in this place you miss that bite!what we could see of it was a lot of style over substance.each course was eatable, and they did cater for me especially in that i cannot eat cheese, so altered a couple of dishes.none of the dishes would tempt me to go back and try a full version of them though, which , for a taster menu, would seem to be the point.the most ridiculous was that one meal, a tea infused chicken stock had, according to the menu, a cheese kebab.this turned out to be three very small cubes of cheese on a cocktail stick, on the side of the dish.service was patchy, different cutlery was brought out for each different course, well, for most of them, one course arrived without any cutlery at all, and we had to ask for it after delivery.aonther set was laid out differently for me than for my wife, on mine the fish knife was on the outside, on hers it was on the inside.service from the right was also sporadic at best.i am pretty sure that the food looked amazing, but in all honesty it was too dark to tell properly, the waiter even had to bring a torch to show us the menu, and other guests were using their mobile phones to illuminate their menus.Dear Guest,Thank you for sharing your experience with us.We are sorry to read that you were faced with such incidents during your dining experience with us which we assure you that we will be looking into very seriously.Black Coral has always stood out in its category as a unique dining experience which is famous for its low-light ambient lighting while dining. Our staff always carries a torch in hand to assist guests with their meal preference who choose to be seated on the patio where the light is specially lowered to give out a more intimate yet refined experience. We are really sad to hear that our concept did not resonate with your expectations on this. As a restaurant that takes pride in our legendary service and hospitality, we will be looking into your comments on the complacency of our staff and failure to maintain attention to the fine details such as delivering meals without its cutleries. Our taster menu is focused on guests who would like to opt for a 6 course meal service and therefore the dishes served even though may seem small, its courses are designed and prepared to ensure that by the end of 6 courses would leave a guest satisfied. However, we take all our guests feedback seriously in order to provide a more refined service and experience to our guests, we will review our portions. We would always love to have you with us again and allow us to restore your faith in us and allow us to provide you with a more suitable experience to your expectations. If you would like to let us know more on your experience with us, you are always welcome to contact us directly.Ayubowan! (May you live long) LANKANTHA WIJESINGHE Restaurant Manager

Tharanga Restaurant looks just one of restaurants adjunct to hotels.Exterior and interior are simple and its view is not impressive.Foods are good with various small dishes come along with main dish. I had fish curry rice and it was delicious with other assortment like pineapple, pumpkin, aubergine, etc.They donât accept credit cards so one must bring cash to dine there.

Very cosy place with amazingly nice green plants and flowers. Well decorated. Never had such a perfectly baked, and prepared grilled steak. With French fries and mashed potatoes. The mixed vegetable salad was delicious. Excellent service. High quality chocolate ice cream. We would recommend anyone visiting this restaurant.

Very underwhelming. Was lured in by the high ratings but couldnât wait to get out leaving most of our meal as some of the ingredients were undercooked and inedible The owner hovered around making it more of an uncomfortable experience. Could hear the microwave in the background so the food would have just been warmed up not freshly cooked. Yes the food is cheap but definitely not worth it even at the cheap prices. To his credit the owner realised that we had left most of our food and bought a complimentary dessert and didnât charge service tax.

We had a very nice lunch here today. The food (veg sandwich and veg burger) was excellent. The Sri Lankan food is amazing but this was a very welcome change after six weeks here. We also enjoyed the fresh juices. Besides the quality of the food and drinks, we really liked the atmosphere of this place. Staff was super friendly and attentive and the interior was funky. It's also possible to do a bike tour via the cafe. We didn't have time for it but it sounded like a great way to discover Negombo.

We are here last night based on the high Tripadviser ratings and were not disappointed. I had the chicken biryani and y husband had the prawn curry with rice. Including the rice the prawn curry came with seven side dishes (dhal, salad, beetroot, potatoes, sambal, pumpkin, rice). My husband is not normally a fan of vegetarian dishes but he loved all the sides, so tasty. We will definitely be returning.
