Tasty but pricy

I had the iced tea and the rice with six curries. Location is beautiful und staff is great. Prices are quite high for Sri Lanka a service charge of 30% will be added. In total I paid around 2400 Rupees 200 tip (on top of service charge)

Some of the best food I've had in my life

Wow, what an experience!
I loved the atmosphere in Koththamalli. Even though it is located by a busy street, the restaurant itself is quiet and peaceful!
The food was some of the best vegan food I've ever tried. I got the six sri lankan curries served with rice and all of them were incredibly delicious! My favorite one had to be the banana blossom one but I loved them all!
The service was very kind and attentive and prices were really low for the quality! In fact I had to double check I did the conversion right 😅
A place not to be missed!

Pros: Relaxing atmosphere, Amazing food, Kind service

Gutes Essen und guter Preis

Wir sind durch Happy Cow auf das Restaurant gestoßen. Das Essen war wirklich lecker und der Service sehr zuvorkommend. Auch das Ambiente neben dem Pool war nett. Für zwei Hauptspeisen plus zwei Getränke und einen Smoothie haben wir umgerechnet ca. 12€ gezahlt.

Pros: Viel Auswahl, Gute Preise, Service

Next level Sri Lankan

I factored in a two night stay in Negombo just so I could eat here twice, and I’m glad I did. Excellent fresh food, a different take on Sri Lankan cuisine than that I’d been eating for six weeks. Service was prompt and polite. Price was competitive for the area, though much better quality. The roasted nuts and herbal greens salad was fresh and nicely spiced. The wild asparagus soup complemented these flavours. I finished up with helapa, a lightly sweet dessert. On the second day I had the rice and curry, which was also excellent, though not as good as the options I had on my first visit.

Pros: Modern Sri Lankan , Full-flavoured, Excellent service

Loved it!

It had such a nice atmosphere there and it was a bit more noble than other restaurants. The food was amazing!!! It was so delicious, I loved it! I also liked that they put the nutritional values. The only thing they could improve is that it was a very small portion of rice with the curries.

Nice atmosphere

I loved the atmosphere at dinner in this restaurant. The staff was so helpful and friendly, we just felt welcome at this place. The food was also very good, eventhough it is a little expensive for Sri Lanka.

I liked that they wrote the nutritional values (calories etc.) on there menu, but I think it doesn't match with the main course I had.

👍👍

Upscale restaurant. Atmosphere not really my cup of tea but pleasant nonetheless.

Service was excellent, calm environment, food was wonderful. So fresh! Would return to try more.

Update: I returned during the day and liked the place a lot more. It made all the difference that there was no classical Christmas music playing🤶

Best Meal I’ve Had in Sri Lanka

Wow.

What a perfect meal we had on our last night here in Sri Lanka.

Blown away.

We started with the Mixed Gram w Spinach Salad and the Mushroom and Butternut Squash Salad.

Both amazing. I especially liked the spinach salad because it tasted a bit more western and since I’ve been eating Sri Lankan all day every day for weeks a little different flavor profile was nice.

Obviously I love TF out of Sri Lankan food but I also love variety.

Then I got the Mushroom and Sweet Potato Cakes which were outstanding and Dhananjani got the Butternut Squash Pasta.

While everything was amazing, the pasta was the standout for me. Cooked a perfect al dente with a perfect butternut squash cream sauce.

The beautiful part was that everything was healthy as this is in a high end Ayurvedic hotel.

As crazy as this sounds, I was so full didn’t get dessert…and that’s rare.

Hands down the best meal I ate in Sri Lanka that wasn’t rice and curry or other traditional dishes.

Simply the best

You’ll struggle to find food that is as delicious and nutritionally balanced as you will enjoy here. We enjoyed breakfast, lunch and dinner for 4 days whilst at the resort for an Ayurvedic retreat. This restaurant is the perfect reason to visit Negombo. Outstanding.

Tasty food, great service and nice atmosphere.

The food was overall quite tasty. I had the rice and curry, and while it was not bad, I felt the combinations could have been better. The other dishes were really nice and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The surroundings and ambiance were excellent.

Pros: Many vegan options , Friendly service , Beautiful space.

Incredible

After a month of traveling in Sri Lanka, I really wanted a nice meal to end it. This was exactly what I was looking for. Delicious food, quiet setting, impeccable service. The prices are high, but for a special occasion, it was well worth it.

One of the Best vegan foods ever!

We had the privilege and absolute joy to stay at the Jetwing Ayurveda hotel in Negombo and could enjoy the restaurant every day. We stayed for 5 nights and the dishes were always different and surprising. The food is fantastic and super fresh (one of the best vegan foods that we ever had), the team is lovely and We loved the atmosphere. We are thinking very often about this excellent experience. Will come back as soon as we can.

Also the hotel is an absolute recommendation!
