Excellent

Very chill on the sofa overlooking the street. The vegan options are a bit samey but are well done. All dishes and drinks (shakes made with coconut milk!) were freshly made on the spot. The resident doggy Rocky is super calm and friendly. He definitely meditates.
Only drawback would be the noisy street below, but most venues in this town front onto this street. Also, quite expensive for small-town Sri Lanka.
Strong wifi from Chill across the street.

Pros: Guacamole, Fresh, Relaxing

Empfehlenswert

Ich hatte ein Sandwich mit gebratenem Gemüse, Ananassaft und einen Kaffee. Alles war sehr lecker. Gefallen hat mir auch die Aussicht von der Terasse auf das Treiben auf der Straße.

Pros: Einige vegane Gerichte, Guter Kaffee

Yummy vegan options

Super chill restaurant, head straight to the top floor, the couches are so comfy! I got the rice bean and guacamole burrito, which they made vegan for me! The burrito is actually roti bread which is a major win and it also came with roast potato gems! A little pricey but worth it for the yummy food and great balcony!

Nice spot

Nothing specifically marked as vegan but I think they’d be happy to veganise most dishes if you asked. I had nachos with lovely guacamole to start, and a rice and gauc wrap which was alright! Nice that the term vegan was understood and could be catered for 😄good cocktails too - try the coconut cream pina colada!

Delicious but pricey

Delicious food. This restaurant completely understands what vegan is and can change almost any dish into a vegan one. I had vegan nachos and a vegan guacamole burrito. Very tasty and it's nice to have Western food again. The only downside is that it's a bit pricey, but you get delicious food in return. I paid 790rps for the burrito and 690 for the nachos.

Pros: Vegan , Nice staff

Cons: Pricey

Nice Alternative

When you have enough from local food and want to have a bit of home-taste. This is a great spot to go to. We had some tortillas and burritos as well as some cocktails and it was really refreshing to get some food from home. Luckily they are familiar with the vegan lifestyle and know how to adapt the non vegan dishes on request. Nice staff and great place to hide from the busy main street.

Incredible food in Ella!

My family and I are travelling around Sri Lanka and thankfully ended up in this awesome little place in Ella for lunch. Everyone was so happy with the food, it was so tasty. We are all vegan and found lots of choice on the menu. The vegan version of nachos was particularly delicious.

The staff were so lovely 😊
Cocktails 👌🏼

I would give it 5 stars if I could but happy cow won’t let me since it’s not totally vegan.

If you happen to be in the area, do not miss this place, you won’t regret it!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Awesome staff (& house dog 💚), Incredible food

Delicious

We had a delicious Detox Smoothie and vegetable fried rice. Full of flavour and lots of extra chunky veg on the side. Service was a little slow but didn’t impact on our enjoyment of the meal. Plenty of veggie and vegan options. Yummm

If you’re in Ella - go here

They were out of guacamole but we still had the rice and bean burrito which was so so delicious and I nice change from eating Dahl and rice every night! We also got the vegan nachos (they know what vegan means - just ask them to change it) which were a bit too salty but otherwise great. Great location - first time I’ve seen the word vegan anywhere in Sri Lanka so that was great. Definitely would recommend

Pros: great food, friendly staff, great location

Cons: a little expensive

Good, filling food

We ordered the burrito with veggies instead of guacamole and asked to take off sour cream and cheese. They immediately said “vegan?” so that was reassuring. The burrito was great. Very filling. Good outdoor seating. On the Main Street in Ella.
