They have wash rooms as well which are clean. The staff also good as I experienced.

The place is clean and comfortable. Not inly that, there is a nice view of the Kelani River from the resturant.

Went there for quick bite and a tea with few of my friends on the way to Gampola. I have been there couple of years back for breakfast. The very first impression was really good because it looked clean and updated compared to last time. And it's located in a quiet area away from Yatiyanthota town at a very scenic place at the banks of Kalani river. The restaurant is located at a higher elevation than the river so a cool breeze is always there in the open seating area.

As usual for most of these types of restaurants in the area it offers buffet meals. Usual selections like rice, string hoppers, bread etc.are available for breakfast and plain rice & fried rice are available for lunch. Apart from the buffet they had popular short-eats for sale. In my first time I had string hoppers which was good. And for the tea time snacks we had vegetable roti and halapa. The vegetable roti was really good but the halapa was not so great. But the tea was very good and refreshing.

The staff is very friendly and helpful but don't expect them to be very professional. It's a typical situation in most of the restaurants. But obviously it's not a bad thing.

Overall it was a great experience for amount of money we paid. If they maintain it current standards it would always be a great place to stop by.

This is good place to have a pit stop on the way to colombo from the hills. The food is usually served in buffet style. The food is ok. The view is nice. They also have a washroom.

The breakfast buffet was exceptionally good. Large number of choices. Food was very tasty and the service was also good. The place has a nice view as well.

Decent food
Flexible staff
Good atmosphere
We've gone here several times. When we went with a group they let us buy food first and pay the bill together after. They have Decent washroom facilities. The surrounding looks great abd the photos don't do it justice. When I've gone for short-eats and stuff during the afternoon or night they haven't been the freshest. So hsve the buffet and the fresh made stuff like fried rice and stuff but not the short eats after morning.

I dunno whether they are like this all the time but we didn't get the food as they have advertised in the shop front. The tea wasn't that good either. The place is very hot as they don't have any ceiling fans despite the great location. I wouldn't recommend this for an evening tea.

Beautiful place. Had a juice and a tea with my wife. The service was impressive. And it’s located in a beautiful Kelani River valley.

Food is served as buffet. We had breakfast. Rs. 200 per each plate. Taste was reasonable. Surrounding is beautiful. Nice plate to have a quick bite on your way

The place was very unclean. Even the waiter/owner was not bothered to clean after we informed them. Disappointed by that. The view of Kelani Ganga from this restaurant is amazing. But other than that, a poor unhygienic place.

You find sri lankan breakfast with alot of curry options Eg potatoe curry egg curry garlic curry sprats curry pol sambol

Better place to have a snack on the way. Also there is a bathing spot just below the restaurant. Tea is good. Short eat is also good.

They make yummy hoppers! I don't really like the sharp hoppers that's served in restaurants but this just melts in the mouth! Sinhalese place where the owner is working to serve as well. They are all friendly and knows customer care well

Appropriately priced avarage food. Might be the only open place in this stretch to get breakfast early in the morning. Washrooms available.

Don't ever go here. Food is terrible and service is the worst ever. They have absurd rules with absolutely no logic, not allowed to share even a cup of tea.

When visiting to home or when i return to colombo i will take my lunch this place only really nice service and environment the food was really tasty.

The place is built along the river and the view is nice. But they could maybe change the look and give it a better appearance inside. The washroom is really crammed but of course the food was nice.

This restaurant is good place to have breakfast, lunch or dinner. Prire are resonoble. This place is situated near a river that is famous for bathing among locals as well as tourist.
