Wow, what a fantastic find! This restaurant truly deserves a Michelin star in my opinion. The homemade mozzarella was incredibly fresh and bursting with flavor. The pizza was generous in size and arguably the best we've tasted in Trincomalee and the eastern Sri Lanka region. The ice cream was a delightful surprise, especially the coconut and passion fruit flavors—they were absolutely the best ice creams we've enjoyed anywhere in Sri Lanka. An unexpected yet memorable experience. Highly recommended!

Absolutely blew my mind! If there is a restaurant worthy of a Michelin star, it's this one right here. The fresh homemade mozzarella cheese was perfectly flavourful. Pizza was a great portion and probably the best pizza we've had in Trinco/eastern Srilanka. The ice cream was a blast of flavors! We had the coconut and passion fruit flavors, which were by far the best ice cream we've had anywhere in Srilanka. Such an unexpected but delightful experience. Thank you!

From the first bite to the last, this dish was nothing short of extraordinary. Every ingredient felt thoughtfully chosen and masterfully cooked, bringing out rich, authentic flavors that lingered on the palate. The presentation was stunning vibrant, elegant, and inviting and the aroma alone made mouths water before the plate even hit the table.

Loved this cozy cafe with its warm, modern decor and relaxed vibe. Great spot to chill with friends or get some work done. The burgers were the highlight juicy patties, fresh toppings, and perfectly toasted buns. The staff was friendly and service was quick. Prices are reasonable for the quality. A hidden gem for burger lovers!
