Kataragama (Sinhalese: කතරගම, translit. Kataragama , Tamil: கதிர்காமம், translit. Katirkāmam) is a pilgrimage town sacred to Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim and indigenous Vedda people of Sri Lanka. People from South India also go there to worship. The town has the Kataragama temple, a shrine dedicated to Skanda Kumara also known as Kataragama deviyo. Kataragama is located in the Monaragala District of Uva province, Sri Lanka. It is 228 km ESE of Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka.

New Cabana

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

The food and service was amazing! Had fresh whole fish and jumbo prawns with a beautiful tropical salad. Some of the best seafood I had in 6 weeks of travel around Sri Lanka.

Clean and welcoming local restaurant. Certainly not a charming place but probably the best choice in Kataragama. Rice and Curry was very good and only 140 Rp, also fried noodles very good.

Calorian Restaurant

Reviewed By jayesh003 - London, United Kingdom

Nasty staff who did not want to cook certain food on the menu as it was a big job for them! I have never heard anything like this. They do not cater for vegetarians and most of the menu items are in-fact not real. We walked out as half of the items they did not want to serve us.
Would not recommend as staff were extremely rude and not accommodating.
Also to add, the staff are somewhat racist to Indians (which came as a complete shock to us).

We ordered deviled chicken with vegetable fried rice and it was really good! The experience was even better because of the good service of the owner, always with a smile and happy to receive us. He also let us bring our own drinks and helped us catch a ride back our hostel.

The flavors restaurant

Reviewed By Akshaya S - Noida, India

For a place so close to Yala (and its influx of tourist), Tissamaharama is surprisingly low on good eating options specially at night. Some of them are either too costly or too thin (in terms of attendance) that you worry about burning your pockets and eating not so fresh food.
But Flavors are kind of exception for us. The service was personal - with the owner and her staff paying attention to each customer. Food was tasty and made to order (in terms of spices). Overall, a wonderful place to eat.

10. Yapa residencies

No. 606 Kandasurindu Avenue, Kataragama 91400, Sri Lanka Chinese HK$16 +94 77 967 3458
