I must say the entire experience was superb! The flavours of all the dishes were wonderful and it was really a lot of food. Learned a few Sri Lankan cooking techniques and found new ingredients that are not easily available in Europe. Can only recommend this to anyone that is visiting in the area. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming. Thank You for Everything Highly Recommended wasana

After two weeks and many five star resorts, this was by far the best food And experience we enjoyed as a family in Sri Lanka. Although it can be a little tricky finding off the beaten path, the outdoor kitchen next to the padi field created an unforgettable ambience. We were allowed to customize our menu with several curries and our favorite, Roti Kottu. Clean, organized and fun - a perfect evening!

Me and my girlfriend signed up for the cooking class last week here. Very authentic experience and excellent food. Communication in english was sometimes a bit of trail and error, but that didnt take away from the experience at all. The hospitality of the family is great and they give you a great demonstration on how local food is made. We could assist them in cooking here and there,
