Diya Dahara

Avoid at all cost this tourist trap. Our driver brought us here. Nothing but Tourist Busses. Food is 2-3 times as expensive and bad at the same time. The only nice thing is the lake. You have been warned.

Bit of a tourist trap. The place really needs some refurbishment. We were taken here by our driver as soon as we arrived in Sri Lanka and were a bit too tired to bother changing location. There was a distinct lack of good vegetarian options and the plates didn't seem especially clean. To be honest we were a bit concerned about falling ill and so ate very little and got out of there. The view over the lake however is very nice.

Customer service was poor we had to wait 30 minutes to give order and manager was drunk. Food also poor quality. We used to come here year ago it was perfect. May be the problem is with the management.

Lovely place with breathtaking view. This restaurant situated next to Kurunegala lake. You can have western foods or authentic Sri Lankan foods Chinese foods here.
Foods are delicious. If you need to shot of whiskey, bring your own bottle. Staff is very friendly. Please try their orange juice (mixed with small amount of lemon). Definitely you Will love it.

This place is ideal to hangout and have some alcohol with friends. As it is situated near the lake it has a beautiful surrounding. Price is bit high but it was worth it.

This restaurant specialises in buffet meals for groups in the tourist trade. It is at a lovely lakeside location with nearby hills. On entry to the restaurant, you will see the hot plates for the buffet with ample seating. We did not fancy the buffet meal so we order a special order – Chicken Biryani. It was not to our understanding of Biryani where the meat is cooked together with the rice. It is probably better to have the buffet. The service was attentive.

Not recommending to anyone, please don't go, waste of time and money, some years back this was a very good restaurant (one of the best in town) but now, very poor service, cleanliness is zero and the food is not tasty at all but very expensive and not even worth for money, the food neither had salt nor spices.

Not good for family party. Don't go with your children.many people drink alcohol inside restaurant.some people fighting but staff never taken action

Set by the lake in a lush surroundin, is was astonishing how poor the service and food was, given the little effort needed to make the place a “must” in an area scarsly densed with restaurants
The tast of the courses on the buffe was OK for restaurant with few abitions. But, our biggest concerns was the lack of food on it!
I was informed that the kitchen was busy and we truly believe them. When some chicken in garlic arrives half of the small shanks are raw inside. They were even short of rice dishes! Giggling along with a group of Japanes that was even more confused of the aspirations the establishment strived for cheered me up at least. With the buffe menu a hamburger was as well ordered and accepted with a reservation from the waiter that it would take 20 min.
After 40 min we learnt that he never placed an order at all but they would now do so.another 10 min later we were advised to find something eals as the kitchen now was out of burgers.
The drinks and the payment was just a mirror of the rest of the visit. With out a hint of cooperation between the waiters and a total lack of supervision, perhaps we were lucky to get anything at all.

If you visit, enjoy the view, do not expect anything exept just that.

Great location and friendly staff. The food is average but they have great fresh juices. I recommend to take the time and do the walk around the lake.

Friendly crew. Nice view of the lake kurunegala. Can go around lake round. Have good reception hall as well.

Delicious food for average price. Friendly staff. Outside dining area (by the side of the lake) is available.

This is a really beautiful place.good food.decent cafeteria and a stunning view of Kurunegala lake.it also has a nice parking lot.

Nice view by the lake. Meals are ok. Good place to have a drink with your friends. Small parties can be organized indoor and outdoor.

Just infront of the kurunegala lake. Food is good. But things are not very clean. Not seems to be well maintained. Restrooms are not properly maintained. Bit hot inside. Prices are reasonable. Vegi fried rice sufficient for 2 ppl, is 400. Devilled chicken whixh comes with 8 small pieces about 500.
