The longest-running of the Main Street places, and still the safest bet for a proper Sri Lankan rice and curry done well. The kothu roti — chopped flatbread tossed on a hot iron plate with vegetables, egg, or meat — is what most people come for. Service is friendly, portions are generous, and the cocktails are stronger than expected.
Expect to wait at peak times in high season. There is no booking; put your name on the list at the door and have a beer at the bar across the road while you wait.
