Amazing eggplant curry 🍆 - Edit
The eggplant curry is their self-proclaimed signature dish and tastes amazing. You can get 4 vegetarian/vegan curries of your choice, including rice, for ca. LKR 1.200,-

Super Local Eatery - Edit
This is the best Sri Lankan food we have had so far, they offer a lot of vegan options and the value is second to none (£3 for a sample dish of 4 curries with rice and a poppadom). Must visit when in Ella.

Good place - Edit
Food is tasty, nice staff. They also offer cooking classes and it’s really good (all dishes were vegan except fried banana but they adopt it for me).

Good - Edit
Good food and service. Sadly they had neither mango juice nor jackfruit curry… still great, but overall nothing special, had had better curries.

Not our best experience - Edit
We ordered the same dish twice. One came the other one was mixed up two times before it came.
Read moreYou sit outside right next to the train underpass which is a bottleneck, so you sit in the fumes of that traffic jam.
How did the food taste?
Out of four currys I‘d say one was good. The others were soso and the first portion came lukewarm close to cold.
The staff is nice.
Dishsize and price are on the touristy/expensive side.
We won’t go again.

Good food but somewhat overhyped - Edit
This place is great for local food. But it's nothing outstanding in terms of food, service or veganism. Their is no signation of veganism anywhere, and the staff doesn't understand the concept of veganism so you have to explicitly ask them about your animal product concerns. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice place but you have many like this in sri lanka.

Some of the best food in sri lanka! - Edit
Really good veg curry options and a lot of selection.
Read moreA lot of the food is vegan but you can ask the waiter about what contains egg if you are unsure.
I can highly recommend the banana flower curry.

Tasty and good service - Edit
Read moreThe food is amazing. Their simple green menu card is not clearly labeled vegan/vegetarian but everything here is cooked with coconut oil and not ghee (unless mentioned). There are many veggie options.
There are limited seatings so I recommend to go either early or later otherwise you may have to in a line. h

Delicious vegan cooking class! - Edit
Sri Lanka food is very vegan friendly so it's the perfect place to do a cooking class! The class itself was very fast paced but the food was incredible! The eggplant curry and pumpkin curry was our favourite! Coconut roti is the best!

Pros: Vegan options, Vegan cooking class!

Excellent food, good price, friendly staff - Edit
I'd strongly recommend this place for anybody visiting Ella. Came back here several times while staying here. The menu isn't huge, but you've got plenty of selection on vegetarian dishes that are either already vegan or can be made so on request.
Read moreRice and curry is great, but my favorite was the kottu: best I had in Sri Lanka, especially with the homemade tomato sauce. Big portion and full taste. The staff was very friendly, and the prices are more than fair.
Note that it's all outdoors and there can be a few mosquitoes around, especially in the evening. It can also get a bit busy (it's not very big) so you may have to wait a little, but it's worth it.

Amazing food - Edit
Visited the place in December 2021. We ate here several times because the food was simply amazingly delicious, the prices were good and the staff was very nice. We tried out a few things: tomato soup, veggie soup, lady fingers okra, banana and chocolate rotti, and the plain/tissue parata with dhal was the star of the show.

Pros: Delicious food, Fair prices, Friendly staff
Cons: My stomach is limited

Friendly staff and good food - Edit
When you order the veg curries you get a big plate with rice in the middle and four curries around it. They were all tasty, not too spicy. Prices are good and the man running the place was very friendly.

The best curry of the trip to date - Edit
Incredibly delicious fare, the flavours are outstanding and each item cooked to perfection. It was very challenging choosing which four curries to have and each and every one was beyond tasty. The food was so good that we signed up for their cooking class that evening. Staff are lovely - great service

Best rice and curry! - Edit
We had the 4 veg curry with rice meals, and were blown away by how delicious they were! We especially loved the eggplant curry, dahl, ala thel dala (devilled potatoes) and the pumpkin. The flavours were amazing! The staff were also really friendly and kind. We’re going back to do the cooking class tonight, and have another meal! Highly recommend.

great food but maybe not worth 30min wait - Edit
always a queue of people waiting outside here as there isn’t much seating and its seems popular, we walked past a couple nights and never waited but our last night we decided to try it out and waited in the rain. the staff were very nice and didn’t make you feel hurried despite having customers queueing up the road in pouring rain. although after seeing very positive reviews and people saying this was the best food in sri lanka we were a little surprised it wasn’t better. it was very tasty and the samosas and roti were great, maybe the best food in ella but not in sri lanka.
