Beautiful bar/restaurant on the beach front. Full of good vibes, great drinks, good food and a fantastic view of watching the waves go by on the sea front. Staff are friendly. Cocktails are ok, a-bit random with some of the combinations but ok none the less. Been here in the evening for dinner and also at lunch too. The only bar in mirissa to have sky sports too which allowed us to watch the rugby World Cup .

Was there over the weekend on a family trip. The Sri Lankan breakfast was amazing. The white fish curry with Kiribath and the Parata with the Sri Lankan curries were excellent.

If you want to have a good meal and stay with your feet on the sand come to Rumba. When I'm in Mirissa I always come here. Delicious food, nice staff, lovable atmosphere and all enriched with the beautiful and relaxing ocean view. I had fresh fish, chicken, pizza, lots of cocktails, dessert. All with incredible taste.

We visited this restaurant after seeing all the rave reviews on here. There is no signage for this place and we even walked passed it along the beach. Unfortunately our experience was not the same as nearly all the other people that came here. The owner was too busy on his phone most of the time and not tending to the restaurant. When we arrived there were 2 x tables already occupied by 1 person at each table and both had already been served. We ordered drinks with waitress. My mojio was not good and really sweet. Finally ordered our food with owner requesting that even though my prawn pasta dish on the menu said it had no chilli i asked if it had chilli and oh yes it has chilli in it and requested no chilli be added to my pasta with a "Yes, yes of course I will tell the cook" but then 2 European girls sat at a table. The Europeans were given their drinks straight away and not long after their food arrived. After a while our bruschetta was served. Literally 2 pieces of toast with sliced tomato on it and sprinkled with oregano and salty as, nothing authentic so far? Waited then another 30 min for our pasta to arrived. They served from a pan and asked while serving : "if that was enough ? and how hungry are you "? Wth? We ordered ages ago of course we are hungry now. What else were they going to do with it? Put it in someone else's meal? The pasta was out of a box , thought the italian owner may have made his own authentic pasta ? and yes my prawn pasta had chilli in it. I returned my dish and cancelled it and shared my husband's tomato pasta dish with him. Meanwhile a table of 10 Europeans walked in and they were tended to straight away.

We had visited with my 6 year old and sea food averse husband. The waiter was kind enough to make a special egg curry rice for my husband and a potato mash wrap for my daughter. Their pasta, prawns and chicken are absolutely delicious. A little heavy on your pockets but worth the ambience. Itâs by the sea and you need eagleâs vision for their sign board. Google maps always to the rescue.

Chilled beach side Cafe serving eclectic cuisine featuring the best of home grown produce and refreshing beverage concoctions. Bring a towel and laze in the pool while enjoying vistas of the terquoise blue ocean. Escape. Unwind. Savour.

Waiters arenât helpful or accommodating at all - borderline rude even. Food was average at best despite being relatively more expensive than others. There are far better restaurants in Mirissa for a good meal. The only thing going for this place is the view - beachside with a pool. Would highly recommend finding another spot along Mirissa Beach as there are plenty of great restaurants with good vibes.We firstly would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused as per the comments which you have mentioned above. We are very keen in maintaining our high standards and trust kept in our food and service. In order to further evaluate the matter we have personally messaged you.Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you.

Zephyr Talalla is a Villa and Sri Lankan fusion Restaurant & Bar, located right on the beach in Talalla Bay.
Reviewed By LTree
We were blown away on arriving here by the warm welcome from the staff and the impressive setting. It's lovely to be right on the beach and with so few rooms you can really indulge in what it does best here. We found a lovely couple of sunbeds under the trees which felt like a real escape. The place is stunning and feels really special - particularly thanks to all the staff. They also were fantastically accommodating for my mum's gluten intolerance. In fact they were enormously helpful with any ask and arranged a driver to get us to the airport.We made the mistake of eating elsewhere a couple of times - but this is the best food on the beach by a very long way. I'd stick here for the food! The cocktails are equally delicious (try the Mai Tai!). We were very sad to leave and I miss waking up to the sound of the waves breaking. This is a really quiet end of the beach - perfect for watching both sunrise and sunset too! Thank you Zephyr team for sharing your paradise with us :)
