We went there for sunrise, started at the bottom around 5.15am but maybe starting a little earlier would even be better. It's a beautiful hike, starting with stairs, but the higher you get the rougher the territory. At the end, you have to climb big rocks, so should be kind of fit and not afraid of free climbing a little bit - still doable for beginners! And the view is fantastic!

I was truly amazed by how it blends history, spirituality, and adventure all in one place. It’s more than just a hike — it’s a journey through time, and what makes it unforgettable is the breathtaking view of Sigiriya Rock from the top. 🏯 History and Culture Pidurangala was once an ancient Buddhist monastery dating back to the 1st or 2nd century BC. It became especially important in the 5th century AD when King Kashyapa moved monks here after turning Sigiriya into his royal fortress. Along the way, I came across ancient caves, a stupa, and a massive reclining Buddha statue, all of which added a deep spiritual feel to the climb. 🥾 The Hike Itself The hike took me around 30 minutes — the first half was steps, and the second half involved a bit of bouldering and scrambling to reach the top. It was slightly challenging but definitely fun and rewarding. Since the trail starts inside an active temple, I had to remove my shoes and dress modestly, covering my shoulders and knees. I went early for sunrise, and it turned out to be the highlight of my trip. Watching the golden light touch Sigiriya Rock from Pidurangala’s summit, surrounded by misty forests, was simply magical — a view that stays with you long after you leave. 💰 Why I Recommend It For just 500–1000 LKR ($3–$6), it’s a great value — quieter, cheaper, and less touristy than Sigiriya. Many people say it offers the best view in Sri Lanka, and after seeing it myself, I completely agree. If you have the time, I highly recommend doing both Sigiriya and Pidurangala — one for its rich history and royal ruins, and the other for its stunning natural views and adventurous spirit. Together, they perfectly capture the beauty and depth of Sri Lanka.

Great morning workout with Pidurangala.Pidurangala is a hidden gem that offers one of the most stunning panoramic views of Sigiriya and the surrounding countryside. The hike is adventurous, with a mix of rocky paths and peaceful forest trails leading to the top. The sunrise and sunset views are absolutely breathtaking, making the climb truly rewarding. It’s less crowded than Sigiriya, giving a more peaceful and natural experience. Pidurangala is perfect for nature lovers and those seeking both adventure and serenity in Sri Lanka.

Very nice place, take good shoes, best hike shoes. Do not forget water. We went on sunset, really good but difficult to have the sun and lion rock at the same time. The climb is a bit sporty, "stairs" are non even rocks so more difficult than the climb of lion rock. Beware the monkey’s, do not feed them or you will have the on your back.

Pidurangala Rock Pidurangala is another ancient site of great cultural and spiritual significance. At the base of the rock lies a temple that continues to house monks to this day. The climb rewards visitors with panoramic views, particularly at sunrise, when Sigiriya rock can be seen in all its glory. Along the ascent, one encounters a striking brick statue of Lord Buddha, a testament to the artistry and devotion of the past

Visiting Sigiriya Lion Rock was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and having an official tour guide made it even more special. From the moment we arrived, our guide shared fascinating stories about the ancient rock fortress, its history, architecture, and the legends surrounding King Kashyapa. As we climbed step by step, he patiently explained the meaning behind the frescoes, the mirror wall, and the water gardens, allowing us to see beyond the stones and truly understand the culture and heritage of Sri Lanka. What impressed me most was his professionalism and passion. He knew the best viewpoints for photos, managed the time perfectly to avoid crowds, and always ensured we felt safe and comfortable throughout the climb. His storytelling turned the journey into a vivid history lesson filled with life and imagination. Standing at the summit, overlooking the breathtaking 360-degree view, I felt grateful not only for the beauty of Sigiriya but also for the knowledge and hospitality of our guide. This experience was far more enriching than just a sightseeing trip—it was a journey into Sri Lanka’s soul. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Sigiriya!

My favorite place in Srii Lanka so far!! Amazing… come prepared for a short walk to the top of the rock, took me 20-30min to get there! The sunrise is a must see!

Great sunrise hike. Pick up was 5am. Not too challenging, took us about 20-25 mins to reach the top, but you will need some level of fitness. Cost: 1000 ($5 AUD) Clothing: on your way down you can visit the temples, so you will need to cover your shoulders and knees. It's a must do in Sigiriya. 🇦🇺

I was so excited to visit the temple and never expected the journey to be this long. The trail wound steeply through the forest, each step feeling heavier as the climb went on. It was a challenging hike, and by the time we reached the top, we were out of breath and covered in sweat. But the moment we saw the panoramic view — mountains stretching endlessly, the temple standing gracefully against the sky, and even the majestic Sigiriya visible in the far distance — every bit of exhaustion melted away. The view from the top truly did not disappoint.

Walk up is not a big problem but climb 🧗 up to the rock can be tricky. Windy and scenic views. Morning light will b nice to take a picture with Sigiriya rock 🪨

Awesome and challenging hike (30m to 1 hr depending on fitness and volume of people. Views are spectacular. Clambering over rocks is tons of fun, but you need to be fit and confident. 1000 rupees for an adult and 500 for kids, much better value than Sigiriya ($35 USD for adults and $20 for kids).

Great place to view Sigariya or the sunset. Nominal fee of 1000 rupees to be paid to the temple at the base. The climb is exacting and difficult, with uneven steps, narrow passages, and manoeuvring through tight spaces, with a few bottle necks that restrict the movement of people. You need to hands free to get through. People with any sort of joint or mobility issues will really struggle to get up. The views are worth the effort if you can get up. There is plenty of space to spread out and do your own thing on the top. There is lighting to help guide you down, but bring a torch if your coming down after sunset. Will be useful if the track lights are out.

If you want the budget view of the Lion Rock in Sigiriya, this is the place to go. The entry was about 1000LKR for 1 foreign adult whereas Lion Rock is about 7000LKR. This helps the maintain the place with lighting and other amenities. There is a toilet near the parking along with some condiment stores for refreshments. There’s a temple at the start of the flight of stairs to the top which will need you to be fully covered near your shoulders and knees. You get a Sarong (large shawl) to use, not sure if you have to rent because I didn’t use it. There are stairs of flight almost until 80% of the way and the rest is pure nature rock climb. You need to be fit and willing to do the rest 20% but the view is definitely worth it. Shoes, water bottle, shades, cap and some energy boosters are definitely recommended. Won’t recommend it during monsoon or rains.

This is an most historic and ancient place situated in central province. This place situated nearby sigiriya rock. In central province nearby dambulla city. So if you’re looking for a historic and ancient place to study about old Sri Lankan Buddhism culture and different periods between each kingdoms you have to visit these places. So if you travel through by bus you have to come to dambulla city then take a bus to sigiriya the last stop it’s a end of the destination so you can drop from there and from there you have to hire a private tuk tuk or safari jeep for visit there if you’re hope to go through by walk it’s maybe difficult and dangerous sometimes elephants are walk around the road they maybe hit you. So enjoy the view and historical pride of Sri Lanka Recommend!

Amazing view on the top and It’s a challenging climb of almost 1km and some sections the climb is very steep.. Proper foot wear is highly recommended as the steps can be slippery and they are also uneven in height. The effort is rewarded with a panoramic view of the surrounding valley but not much else.. The cave entrance to the cave to see the paintings is also worth the effort..

It’s quite a trek to the top of the rock, and it’s not for the faint hearted - but if you can persevere, the views and the experience once you get to the top, are definitely worth the knee trembling moments. The actual climb up is around 1200 steps, so can be tough going if you’re not overly fit, take water with you - although there’s a refill station on route. Once you get to the top, it’s absolutely amazing to see this incredible fort that was built 1600 years ago - this is right up there with Machu Picchu (built 600 years ago) but with engineering way before its time!

What a fantastic place. I visited in October so during the off season which was a blessing " absolutely no crowds " The price may seem a little steep but by the time you've experienced it, that'll seem pretty insignificant. The views are amazing both from up ontop and throughout the gardens, even before you enter stop to appreciate the manicured landscape and surrounding moat.

Sigiriya Lion Rock is easily one of the most extraordinary places I’ve visited. The moment you enter the site, you’re surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens that were centuries ahead of their time. The climb is a journey in itself—every level reveals something new, from ancient stairways carved into the rock to the world-famous frescoes that still retain their vibrant colors despite being over a thousand years old. The engineering brilliance is unbelievable. As you climb higher, the massive lion’s paws carved into the stone create a sense of awe, hinting at the grandeur this fortress once held. And when you finally reach the top, the view takes your breath away. Looking out over endless greenery and quiet villages feels like stepping back into a forgotten kingdom. Sigiriya is not just a tourist attraction; it’s a cultural treasure that blends history, architecture, art, and nature in the most breathtaking way.

Sigiriya Rock, Sigiriya, one of Sri Lanka’s most iconic landmarks, is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This colossal rock fortress was built by King Kashyapa around the 3rd century AD. From its summit, visitors enjoy breathtaking views, including the nearby Pidurangala rock. Sigiriya is not only a marvel of ancient engineering but also a spectacular vantage point, especially admired for its enchanting sunset views.

An amazing place full of history and beauty. The stairs are all well formed which makes the climb easier. Climb it right on sunrise to avoid the heat and crowds and enhance your experience.

Sigiriya Travel Guide & Tips – Exploring the Lion Rock Sigiriya, famously known as the Lion Rock, is one of Sri Lanka’s most iconic landmarks and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built in the 5th century by King Kashyapa I, the massive rock fortress served as a royal palace and defensive stronghold. According to historical chronicles, Kashyapa seized the throne from his father and built Sigiriya as a secure and impressive capital to protect himself from rivals. After his death, it became a Buddhist monastery and continued to be a sacred site for centuries. Historical Highlights: The Lion Gate: The entrance to the fortress was once guarded by a colossal lion, of which only the giant paws remain today. The name “Lion Rock” originates from this impressive feature. Frescoes: Sigiriya is famous for its frescoes, depicting beautiful celestial maidens known as “Sigiriya Damsels,” painted with remarkable detail and vibrant colors that have survived over 1,500 years. Mirror Wall: A highly polished wall once reflected the king’s image and contains ancient graffiti, offering insight into the thoughts and culture of visitors from as far back as the 8th century. Water Gardens & Engineering: The surrounding gardens showcase sophisticated hydraulic engineering with symmetrical ponds, fountains, and pools – a marvel of ancient landscape architecture. Summit Palace: At the top, you’ll find the remains of the king’s palace and terraces. The vantage point provided a 360-degree view of the surrounding plains, ideal for defense and surveillance. Travel Tips & Practical Information: Parking: Local car park ~500m; for foreigners ~100m from the main entrance. Opening Hours: 5:00 AM – 6:30 PM (tickets issued until 5:00 PM). Best Times: Early morning or late afternoon to avoid heat. Bring: Water, comfortable shoes, sun protection, and a camera. Guides: Optional, but beware of scammers offering “easy paths.” Follow official routes. Climbing: Hundreds of steps, some narrow or steep. No wheelchair or alternative transport – it’s all on foot. Pace yourself and enjoy stops along the way. Nearby Attractions: Pidurangala Rock offers another spectacular viewpoint with fewer crowds. Why Visit Sigiriya? Sigiriya is a remarkable combination of history, art, and adventure. Climbing the rock is physically demanding, but every step is a walk through centuries of Sri Lanka’s cultural and architectural genius. From the gardens at its base to the stunning views at the summit, Sigiriya is truly unforgettable.

The climb is somewhat difficult for a person of average fitness, but absolutely worth it! The view is breathtaking from the top and the grounds are very well maintained. Please be sure to carry your passport in original.

Sigiriya is one of the most beautiful and historic places in Sri Lanka. The ancient rock fortress, surrounded by gardens and ponds, offers a breathtaking view from the top. The climb can be a bit tiring, but it’s totally worth it once you reach the summit. A must-visit for anyone who loves history, nature, and amazing scenery.

Sigiriya- the Lion Rock is a must-visit destination in Sri Lanka for local and overseas visitors. This is my fourth time with my family; we find lots of improved accessibility every time. This time, many changes have been made to the stairs; they are now easier to climb and descend. In the mid-purified drinking water filters have been installed. This is our first time visiting the museum. I encourage everyone to bring their children there whenever they visit Sigiriya.

Really good experience in Sigiriya. Must visit place in Srilanka. Almost 1200 steps and scary experience even steps of the rock are next level. We were 3 so it took 18000/- LKR as entry tickets for rock and museum. Museum also nice must visit this place. While climbing I recommend to carry water bottle and some snacks to have. One you climb the rock breathtaking views from the top, amazing view loved it. Top of the rock swimming pool also there.

Must do activity around Sigiriya, we came in very early 5Am at opening, very good choice to avoid too many people in the stairs. Quite a lot of climbing but we found it less sporty than the Pidurangala. There are some steel stairs suspending in the void, be careful if you have vertigo. View super nice but also the whole site on top with old pools and palace.

This is the most ancient and fortress city in Sri Lanka. Can see multiple ancient technology and architecture with precise geometric. When you go there you have to visit the museum. There are plenty of things to learn and have awesome artifect.

Was able to ride a bike from my guest house. Highly recommended to bring a bike in so you can ride the path over to the Buddhist Temple nearby and grab lunch on the main drag. Crowds weren’t too bad when I arrived around 8 AM, but upon leaving around 11 o’clock, the crowds going up the rock or getting worse.

Highly recommended. Service was prompt. Taste is awesome. Ordered Garlic Prawn with Garlic rice Chicken Dolphin Kotthu Lion Beer Passion mocktail Total Bill amount 6130 LKR All foods are very tasty. Portion size is more than enough for a single person. Enjoyed the dinner fullest.

The best food I ve had in Sri Lanka and i have been a couple of places. My friend got chicken curry and i had the chicken cheese kottu. Must come and must eat here, for sure this will not be the first time visiting.

Little Hut but big on food! Had the jumbo sausages as starter and then the roti and the garlic prawns. It was delicious! The vibe was also very fine, would come again

Really cool spot for a bite to eat after hiking! Food was nice! I did have a couple of little bones in my chicken but I think this is just how it is served. Atmosphere was great. Would recommended visiting

Best restaurant in Sigiriya!! We ate here 3 times during our stay in the village because the food is the best in town. It is freshly made every time, the restaurant seems clean and safe, the food tastes good (we tried a lot of diffirent dishes) and the people who work here are so friendly. Also the juices are very tasteful.

We found this place online. the reviews dont lie. very delicious food! we ate curry and kottu rotti. the entrance to the restaurant is very crowded with plants, which from outside might look less inviting. ambient inside could be a little better but all together definetly recommendable!

Absolutely delicious. We had the chicken kottu and it was the best of whole Sigiriya!! Local kitchen and everything is perfect, great food and waiter who is really busy if the restaurant gets full

The rooms are spacious and airy and the grounds and facilities are wonderful. The service were excellent during our stay. They all helped me so much with one group member and they always so attentive, friendly and professional. The rooms were lovely.Much spacious comfortable and clean. All of the food was amazing and the staff were great. delicious foods and drinks. It was a wonderfully relaxing stay. We made unforgettable stay at hotel sigiriya!

Our stay at Hotel Sigiriya was exceptional from the arrival until departure. From the warm welcome at reception to the smooth check-in process, everything was handled with genuine hospitality and professionalism. Thanks Tharaka and Bawani. The staff were always attentive, and ready to assist with anything we needed and it made us feel truly valued throughout our stay. Our room was spacious, clean, and well maintained. It offers a peaceful atmosphere and a stunning view of the iconic Lion’s Rock. Waking up to that breathtaking scenery in the morning was one of the highlights of our trip. The bar offered a relaxing environment with excellent drinks and service, making it a wonderful place to unwind. The restaurant serving a wide variety of delicious food. Thanks chef and the team. Every meal was fresh and beautifully presented. The staff at the restaurant were attentive and their service was outstanding. Whether we were by the pool, at the bar, every moment felt enjoyable and relaxing. It perfectly combined comfort, nature, and exceptional service. We were very happy with our stay and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the Sigiriya area. Thanks team for your great hospitality.

A good place to stay to spend a day or two in Sigirya to climb Lions Rock and/or Pidurangula and chill by the pool with beautiful view of the rock. Very pleasant hag out areas near bar (often taken by tour groups!) or by the pool. Good selection for breakfast buffet (assuming the tour groups haven’t cleaned them out!). Didn’t have dinner there as ventured out to nearby local restaurants. Nice and friendly staff. Room was pleasant - no view but not really in room much. A/C was very efficient and cool.

We had a wonderful stay in this resort. It's a beautiful hotel with a stunning view of the rock. We were allocated for a nice room with a pool view after a smooth check in. Our room was spacious, clean, quiet, and very comfortable. The elephant bed decoration made with towels was nice. The food (Breakfast & Dinner) is a vast menu, tasty and too much variety worth to pay. Bar with Live music to enjoy & some indoor games for babies. The staff were friendly and providing great hospitality service. Most of them speaks English. They have nicely equipped gym and a spa with professional experienced therapists. There is also a doctor who is very knowledgeable about treatments, and you can receive consultations from him. They provided driver room for free to stay including parking. The hotel reception arranged a jeep for us at a reasonable price for the Kaudulla National Park tour. Thanks front office team for your support. Overall, our stay at Hotel Sigiriya was superb and enjoyable. We will definitely visit again. We can recommend this hotel to anyone who visits the Sigiriya area. Thank you, Team, for the fantastic service.

Hotel Sigiriya by Browns is a beautiful and peaceful escape with a breathtaking view of Sigiriya Rock. The atmosphere is calm, surrounded by nature, making it perfect for a relaxing stay. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The pool area is a highlight, offering an amazing view, especially during sunset. The staff are extremely friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile. The food is tasty with a good variety, and the overall service feels warm and welcoming. It’s an excellent place to unwind after exploring Sigiriya. Truly a wonderful experience that I would highly recommend

An unforgettable stay at hotel sigiriya. I had a truly amazing experience at hotel sigiriya. The hotel’s architecture perfectly blends with nature, offering breathtaking views of lion rock. The rooms are clean, spacious, and beautifully designed to give a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere. The staff were exceptionally friendly, professional, and always ready to help with a smile. The food at the buffet was outstanding — a great variety of Sri Lankan and international dishes, all full of flavor.

We had such a beautiful experience at hotel sigiriya !the hotel was well maintained and beautiful with the view of lions rock! Both breakfast and dinner was scrumptious and beautifully presented! Especially the live pasta station ! They made fresh and delicious pasta right infront of you!

Best Rice&Curry place in Sigiriya!! The best owners, super friendly and loving❤️🤗🌞 We tried different food and everything was delicious and the ambiente is also very lovely!! We came here every day throughout our 1 week🌞❤️

We loved this place so much that we came back the next evening! The food is authentic Sri Lankan cuisine with huge portions. Everything we tried was delicious, especially the chicken curry and the veggie curry with rice or parata – and the Kotu Roti was incredible! The staff were all extremely polite and friendly. The interior is quite simple and randomly put together, but in a charming and funny way. We’d absolutely recommend this place to anyone!

We ate here two days in a row. On the first day, I opted for the Sri Lankan spice curry. It was wonderful food and a wonderful experience 🔥 Plus, it's a very atmospheric place with a view of Lion Rock and friendly service. I recommend it 100%.

We had BBQ prawns with kotu and fresh juice, absolutely delicious 😍 We had for dessert fruits and koti chocolate, it was wonderful! Great value for money, generous portions and authentic flavors. The waiter was very friendly, with excellent service. Nice atmosphere with good vibes. Highly recommended! ABonus: for the nice puppy

Very delicious variety of curry dishes are offered. We were able to taste six different types and all of them tasted very delicious. We liked that we received some chili sauce/oil so that we could add spice to our dish ourselves. The staff also took good care of us and was able to fulfill all our extra demands.

Very busy and popular restaurant. Great food. Nice and spicy for once (no where else is spicy). Ordered the chicken curry and rice and got a great selection of curries for just 1800 and also ordered the chicken Kotthu and it was s a huge portion. Also got given the best colourful popadoms for free starters ever I have been thinking about them ever since they were soo yummy like buttery popcorn. Drinks were 800 each.

We attended last night and it was fabulous. Great portions, fresh and tasted amazing. The service was exceptional and cold beer! recommended.

After our early morning hike to watch the sunrise, we stopped by Food Soul, a charming little spot surrounded by nature. There’s a peaceful pond right in front and incredible views of the rice fields — and best of all, a clear and stunning view of Lion Rock in the distance. The service was excellent — very kind and attentive. The food, while quite raw, was still tasty and nicely presented. But what truly makes this place special is the peaceful atmosphere and breathtaking scenery. A highly recommended stop if you want to relax and take in the beauty of Lion Rock and the surrounding landscape.

Great Spot for some good food with views on Lion rock. Menue is a bit more international. The Jackfruit Burger with fries was great. Prices a little higher than others in the area.

What a nice place to stop for a spot of early lunch! We had a Smoothie Bowl (coco-choco) which was fantastic, alongside the Green Juice and an espresso. Very friendly staff, beautiful location. Absolutely recommend going there.

I stopped here for a fresh mango juice and it was just perfect – sweet, refreshing, and exactly what I needed. What made the experience even better was the beautiful view. Sitting there, enjoying the drink while overlooking the scenery, felt truly special. Such a peaceful spot to relax and take it all in. Highly recommended if you’re in the area!

Hidden gem with the best view of Sigiriya! Soul Food Café is an absolute must-visit if you're in Sigiriya! The view of the rock fortress from the café is breathtaking, and the overall vibe is so calm and welcoming. Their unique all-vegetarian menu truly stands out — creative, flavorful, and made with love. We tried the jackfruit burger, soya wrap, and the passion kithul tickle drink for lunch — and every bite was mouth-watering. It’s rare to find a place where every item on the menu surprises and satisfies. Trust me, it will never disappoint you! Can’t wait to go back and try more! 💚🌿

Recently, a few of us stopped by Soul Food, a vegetarian restaurant, to grab a meal before a long drive. There were six of us, and they had no problem setting up a large table for us. The menu was pretty extensive. I ordered a Sweet Potato Burger and an Avocado Toast with Egg, plus an Iced Cappuccino and Mango Juice. Overall, the food was really good, but there were a couple of things that could be improved. The wait time was pretty long—probably because we were a group of six, and they wanted to bring everything out at the same time. That’s exactly what happened—they served each dish one by one, and in total, it took about 30-40 minutes to get all the food. It wasn’t a huge issue since we weren’t in a rush, but it would’ve been nice if they had given us a heads-up. The second thing I’d suggest as an improvement is adding fans. We sat outside, and it was really hot. I’ve been to plenty of cafes where they have ceiling fans or stand-alone fans, and it makes a huge difference. Without them, it felt stuffy, and we kept wishing for a bit of a breeze. Overall, great food, but a couple of small changes could make the experience even better!

The view and the food are as good as the photos show! We had the jackfruit and sweet potato burgers and they were delicious. We also asked for our son to have just avocado on toast and they must have used three fresh avocados to make it. Enormous! The drinks and atmosphere were also good and a short five minute walk from Sigiriya Village hotels.

We spent three nights in a treehouse at Back of Beyond and it was truly unforgettable. The place is beautifully cared for and clean, with an atmosphere that feels both peaceful and deeply connected to nature. The staff are incredibly kind and genuinely go out of their way to make your stay special. With their knowledge and local connections, they’re always ready to give the right tips or offer help whenever you need it. The location is perfect – surrounded by nature yet just a short tuk tuk ride from town. We loved the eco-friendly approach and the way they care about the environment, which made our stay feel even more meaningful. If you’re looking for the ultimate place to relax, unwind, and reconnect with nature, this is it. We left completely recharged and satisfied. A very big thank you to Thusitha for arranging so much for us, and also to Wasanth for the care during our stay. You both made our time at Back of Beyond truly special.

An absolutely amazing stay! A beautiful experience sleeping in the middle of the jungle while still being so close to Sigiriya and Lion’s Rock. As soon as we arrived, a wild monkey was hanging around our room – a perfect reminder that we were truly surrounded by nature! 😄 The food was delicious, authentic, and full of local flavors. The staff were incredibly kind, helpful, and always smiling. They also offer many activities, including safaris — we joined one and saw an incredible number of elephants roaming freely in the wild. A peaceful, unique, and unforgettable experience that we 100% recommend!

Amazing place! We stayed in one of the treehouses. This was our favorite and most special night we had so far in Sri Lanka. Super friendly staff. Great breakfast and beautiful location. Thankyou !

Very special place in the middle of the jungle, we loved it !! You hear birds and wildlife, and feel so grateful to sneak in their home. We had a cabane, the tree house looked amazing as well !! Next time 😜

This place is incredible! The pictures don’t do the hotel justice. You must stay here, food throughout our stay was fresh and tasty, western style as well as Sri Lankan style. And don’t forget to book a Lorris tour, night time walking through the jungle was amazing! I’d give more starts if I could. P.s, bring an eye shade to help with sleeping, the ASMR of jungle sounds will make sure you sleep right through ❤️😊

Although we didn’t stay at this accommodation, we had an unforgettable experience thanks to the incredibly kind and helpful staff. When we needed assistance with an injury, they went above and beyond to help us, showing true care and professionalism. Their warmth and willingness to assist left a lasting impression. From what we saw, the place itself was spotless, well-maintained, and had a wonderful, welcoming atmosphere. If the hospitality we experienced is any indication, I have no doubt that staying here would be an excellent choice. A huge thank you to the amazing team – your kindness will not be forgotten! We truly appreciate everything you did for us. Highly recommended!

I visited this place with my family, and it was a truly serene and beautiful experience. If you love nature, this is a perfect choice. The rooms are open to the natural surroundings while still offering complete privacy. It’s located very close to both Pidurangala Rock and Sigiriya Rock, making it an ideal spot—especially if you plan to watch the sunrise from Pidurangala Rock.

Ummm wow love this place so much and wish I was staying longer so I could eat there again!! The service was sooo friendly I had a great chat to one of the staff. The chicken wrap with fresh potato was delicious!!!! I don’t know what they did to the potatoes in particular but they were divine! It is the cutest restaurant with so many cool places to sit and eat your food as well as volleyball next door and a rope swing! I would recommend this to everyone to check out. And as the slogan says “it feels like home”.

This place in Dambulla offers a unique dining experience with a really nice atmosphere. The food was tasty, but the wrap was the standout – incredibly filling and definitely worth trying. 😋

An amazing place with delicious food, friendly service, and a fun atmosphere. Perfect for relaxing and unwinding. It has a small river that adds to the fun. 100% recommended.

This place is an absolute gem! Such a cool vibe here, comfy seats/chill areas and some tables more suited to eating too. Even a big cinema screen out the back as well! Beautiful cocktails, cold beers and the tastiest bbq plate 😍

Great place to hang out in Sigiriya for a drink or a meal. Prices fair for the area, good value place to hang out in the evening. Gets pretty busy and a good social vibe. Nice natural setting. The reggae here is a bit unusual and feels a bit ai, why not play real reggae? Food can be fairly average but big portions.

Had the Chicken BBQ platter. Delicious. Fresh salad and rices. Ice cold Lion beer to go with. A member of the party had the vegetarian BBQ which they did not enjoy.

Very nice restaurant with chill vibe. They have really nice drinks and amazing food. BBQ was serving since 6pm so we had to wait a bit, but it was totally worth it. Staff was very nice and sweet. We came for lunch next day as well😁. 10/10 😊

A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Sigiriya Il Frangipane is a truly beautiful hotel — an oasis of peace right in the center of Sigiriya. Despite its central location, the atmosphere is incredibly calm and relaxing. The rooms are spacious, tastefully decorated, and very comfortable. One of the highlights is the lovely swimming pool, perfect for cooling off after a day of exploring. What really sets this place apart, though, is the staff. Everyone is incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready with great tips on what to do in the area and where to eat. Their warm hospitality made our stay even more enjoyable. I would absolutely recommend Il Frangipane to anyone visiting Sigiriya. It’s a perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and tranquility.

Absolutely outstanding! This accommodation exceeded all expectations. The staff were warm and attentive, the room was immaculate, and the gardens were breathtakingly beautiful. I would return here in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a truly memorable stay!

We couldn’t be happier with our choice to stay here. The staff are incredibly friendly, always eager to help improve your stay and suggest things to do. Even if you already have a plan, it’s worth chatting with them—they might suggest tweaks that make your itinerary even better. For example, we weren’t sure about doing an elephant safari because we didn’t want to stress the animals. The staff recommended a guide they knew, which turned out to be cheaper than booking online. More importantly, we felt the guide respected the animals—you even have the freedom to say “please don’t go there” if you feel the elephants are being disturbed. That gave us real peace of mind. The breakfast is amazing—fresh fruits, juices, toast, pancakes, teas, and pastries. The pool area is surrounded by nature, giving it a very relaxing vibe. We stayed in an upper-floor room, which was spacious with great views over the pool. Just a note: if you’re a light sleeper, you might prefer a lower-floor room. On the top floor, you’ll sometimes hear monkeys running on the roof or rain pouring down heavily. Personally, I loved this as part of the Sri Lankan experience, but some might find it disruptive. A few suggestions: - Some towels had stains (though they were clean)—maybe time for replacements. - A pool umbrella would be great since shade doesn’t reach all the beds. - Think about ways to reduce plastic use, especially water bottles (perhaps refill stations). - Breakfast portions are very generous, but it might help to share the menu with guests first so there’s less food waste. They are currently expanding with two new rooms, so expect a little construction noise for the next couple of months. It didn’t bother us much. Overall, I truly loved this place. The owner should be very proud of such a wonderful and caring team. Highly recommended and I already miss it 🥲🤗

Great place with large rooms and modern bathrooms, fantastic breakfast, very swimming pool in gardens, perfectly located… BUT we were asked to leave the rooms even before the check out time, because the next guests, arrived early, were waiting to get the rooms. The checkout time is clearly stated on our reservation with Booking.com

One of my favourite places on our journey through Sri Lanka so far. Ideal location for seeing the main sights of Sigiriya and if you're travelling through on public buses, it couldn't be any easier to get to. Arrived to a fresh watermelon juice and a spacious room with a balcony, the pool was perfect for taking the edge off the heat and the surrounding gardens are a real little oasis. Friendly and polite staff who are always available should you need anything. Delicious and generous breakfast with daily variations.

We had a lovely stay at il Frangipane. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the pool was well maintained and a real treat on a hot day. The staff went out of their way to help with advice and organising getting around. It is in a great location, just a short walk from the restaurant strip in Sigiriya town and from Sigiriya itself.

Excellent location close to all the local restaurants. Rooms really clean and modern, perfect for our family of four. Breakfast was exceptional. Really nice place to stay.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The owner was incredibly kind, friendly, and always willing to help. Even though we don’t speak English well, he made a big effort to communicate with us and make sure we felt comfortable. The rooms were clean, spacious, and had everything we needed. The place is beautiful, peaceful, and very affordable. They served us a delicious breakfast, and the owner also helped us book a safari in Minneriya, which picked us up right at the hotel — it was a great experience. We truly appreciated all the attention. Highly recommended!

An absolutely amazing hotel. The rooms are spacious with beautiful wooden furniture. There’s also a terrace with a table and chairs. The internet connection is excellent. The owners are incredibly kind and welcoming. I sincerely recommend this place!

We stayed at Sigiri Lion Lodge for 3 nights and were fully satisfied with everything. The location is excellent, the rooms are good, and the staff is absolutely outstanding. They take care of everything you need and even organize tours for you. We felt very well looked after and can highly recommend staying here!

"Our stay at the room and breakfast at was absolutely wonderful. The room was spotless, cozy, and beautifully decorated, with everything we needed to feel comfortable and relaxed. Every detail felt carefully thought out. Breakfast was a highlight — fresh, delicious, and prepared with so much care. The location is also great — peaceful, well-connected, and perfect for exploring the area. What made our experience even better was the host’s incredible kindness and helpfulness. They assisted us with arranging transportation and even helped us book a safari, making everything so easy and stress-free. We felt truly welcomed and taken care of. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a peaceful and charming stay!

I had a wonderful, comfortable stay at Sigiriya Lion Lodge. We arrived very late because of our flight, and the host kindly accommodated us and made the late check-in process effortless. Our room was spotless, quiet, and well appointed — the electrical junction/charging box in the room was an unexpectedly brilliant convenience (bring a plug adapter if you’re traveling from India). Ajith was especially helpful and friendly: he gave us an early-morning tuk‑tuk ride, found a tuk‑tuk contact for Dambulla caves, and even helped arrange a bus to Kandy. Excellent service and hospitality overall — I’m very happy with the stay and would definitely recommend this property."

We had a great experience at the hotel. The hosts were super kind and helpful and arrangeg a safari, cooking class and massage for us. Also the airport pickup they arranged went smoothly. Would really recommend going there to anyone! We are going to miss this place

Room is big and good, with good aircon and hot water. Breakfast is free and so nice. Great location, a lot of restaurants around, and near Lion Rock. Nice house owner.

The place is a little scary to walk around at night. It's about a 5 minute walk from the main road. However, it's a good place to go to Lion Rock. They also make good breakfast. I think it's the best among the guesthouses in SriLanka!

Very nice accommodation. Clean rooms. Nice hosts! The man drove us to the rock for sunrise. We booked a safari in Minneriya National Park through the accommodation. It was very nice!

Everything here is amazing. Room is spacious, there is parking on-site, and is located a short walk away from the main street of Sigiriya. Breakfast is amazing and was one of the highlights! I also had to check-in really late, and the homestay owner was very accommodating to the request. We also booked a safari jeep tour (organised by the homestay) and we saw many elephants (around 60) that afternoon!

This is a great homestay place to stay. The rooms are very comfortable, in the garden and have a balcony to sit out relax and take in the bird song (giant squirrels gave an aerobatic exhibition at one time also). The breakfast is extensive and very tasty. Access is at night is by car or tuc tuc only- the 200m lane off the main road has elephant traffic so it's dangerous to walk after dark. Priyanti and Manike are great hosts and took us free of charge to Pandaragula and Sigiriya rock for sunrise hikes.

Amazing homestay, located conveniently in Sigiriya. The owners are extremely hospitable and make an amazing breakfast! He was extremely helpful and even took us to the Sigi Rock at 4:30 in the morning.

The room was clean, the nature around were beautiful and green and the breakfast was excellent. The staff was very friendly. Thank you!🌴❤️

This is the best located homestay in Sigiriya, just a few hundred metres from the UNESCO World Heritage site. The rooms don't have airconditioning but are not bad in the night. The owner stays on the property and serves an authentic Sri Lankan breakfast. The Sigiriya market is closeby, where you can go for dinner. We had it in Barista, simply because we wanted to have a light meal and rest as we had a long day, driving from Colombo. There is a need for a plumbing job in the bathroom but I would recommend this place.

The Lion’s Paw is one of the most iconic and breathtaking features of Sigiriya Rock Fortress. Located near the final stretch of the climb, this monumental stone structure was once part of a massive lion-shaped gateway that led to the king’s palace at the summit. Today, only the colossal paws remain, but they are still awe-inspiring in scale and detail. Standing in front of them, you can imagine how grand the full lion structure must have looked centuries ago. The paws are beautifully carved out of rock, giving visitors a sense of the incredible craftsmanship and ambition of King Kashyapa’s builders. This spot also serves as a natural resting point before the steep climb to the very top of Sigiriya. Many visitors pause here to catch their breath, take photos, and soak in the view of the rock rising above and the plains stretching below. Climbing the narrow stairway between the lion’s paws feels both thrilling and symbolic—as if you’re entering the lion itself, just as people did during the height of Sigiriya’s glory. It is one of the most memorable and photographed parts of the fortress, and for many, it’s the highlight of the visit. Overall, the Lion’s Paw is not just an architectural marvel but also a gateway that connects you to the mystery and grandeur of ancient Sri Lanka. It’s a place where history, art, and imagination come alive, making it one of the must-see landmarks within Sigiriya.

The staircase to the Lion's Rock starts from here. A bit steep stairs and no place to rest until you reach to the top. Avoid weekends and holidays. The stairs will be overcrowded and the crowd will move very slowly. Be aware of the rain. There is no place to cover from the rain if you're on top of the rock. Also be silent as much as possible since there are wasps.

Much needed stop about halfway up the 1,200 steps to the top of the rock. A water station with filtered water here to top up water bottles if needed and some shade for a rest. Lions paw looking very impressive carved out of the rock, amazing to think how they did it so long ago

This is one of the amazing places I visited in Sri lanka - during our trip. It looked quite difficult. But it was a memorable experience. But we happened to be there during the Vesak festival holiday - long weekend (6 May). So the local crowd was too much, unmanageable and uncontrollable. There were long lines and we took close to two hours just to reach the top - due to the rush. We couldn't see the cave paintings as it got closed before we could come back down. Too much rush. The staff was unable to manage the crowd. Avoid this place on national holidays as it gets over crowded.

Lion’s Paw is the grand entrance to the Sigiriya Rock, and these two beautiful lion paws truly show the pride of Sigiriya to the world. This is also the last place where you can fill your water bottles, as there is filtered water available from a nearby water treatment plant donated by the Indian government. It’s a perfect spot to drink some fresh water, enjoy a quick snack, and rest for a few minutes before continuing your climb. From here, the adventure begins, you climb through staircases made of rocks, bricks, and iron. The path itself feels historic and adventurous. If you get tired on the way, there are a few tiny resting spots before reaching the top, where the breathtaking views will make every step worth it. This is one of the most memorable parts of the Sigiriya experience, and I highly recommend taking a moment to enjoy Lion’s Paw before starting your climb! 🦁✨

1200 steps, comparatively easy for people who are active, super hard for people who are not. Be prepared and dont lose hope. Its worth it.

From this point onwards starts the final clink l climb up to the top and you can reach the top without having to rest since anyway due to steepness of the stairs from this location onwards, crowd moves quite slowly. This is a place where you should take a photograph to remember the place. Also this resembles the cartoon thunder cats since that had an entrance similar to a lions paw.

We had 5 veggie curries with fish and stuffed roties - all super yummy. The service is very attentive, smiling but not intrusive and the place has a positive vibe. All in all a great experience!

In the middle of the touristic area is this restaurant. Good prices and very tasty. Great variety of food and drinks! Good service

If you want to try the most delicious rice and curry in Sigiriya, just trust me — this is the place to be. The taste is fantastic and will inspire you to come back again and again.

It’s a family-run restaurant, and we had a nice breakfast there after hiking Sigiriya Rock. The food was delicious, although the prices are a bit high. Still, we recommend it!

Wonderful atmosphere & good vibe. Friendly and very helpful staff. Fresh, great food, & good prices. We had the delicious Sri Lankan curry meal. A good selection of Western food too. You must try for breakfast, lunch or dinner when you are in Sigiriya.

Best place we ate at in Sigiriya! The menu was extensive but all the dishes we ordered were really good. The 5 vegetable curry dish was amazing, and the service is the best, super kind people and very very fast (especially for Sri Lanka standards!). 100% would recommend if you are in town.

Very friendly staff and very delicious food for a reasonable price. We went there two times and we would also come a third time. Also the Ambiente is really cosy and nice. Thanks again.

I went with their village tour twice. Once with a group of friends and secondly with family. Family enjoyed this whole tour . It consists of a bullock cart ride , followed by a ride in a tractor, then boat tour in the lake. Boatmen will drop you off at a hut for lunch and to demonstrate local food cooking techniques. Followed by a tuk-tuk ride to starting point as last activity. Food prepared for us by the local lady was delicious and all family liked it a lot. Recommend to take this with A+

We were taken here by our guide even though we expressed we weren’t really interested in doing this excursion. We especially didn’t want to do the village tour and the home-made lunch as we don’t find this type of activity really that genuine and we always seem to get diarrhoea afterwards… Since we were already there, we asked to only do the boat tour. They eventually accepted it, and took us to the lake by Tuk-Tuk (at least they gave the cows a break, we didn’t want to participate in animal abuse neither). The way there is terrible and the lake boat was enjoyable enough, but you almost see no wildlife and it’s not really worth it in my opinion. The boat man then makes you a necklace from a flower (that part was nice, but of course he expects a tip then). The worst thing was the price, that seemed decided on the spot between the guys over there: 15 000 rupees for 2 persons. Skip it and enjoy your hotel facilities after or before your Sirigiya visit to the Lion Rock.

This tour starts with an oxen/cow pulled cart ride.. seems a little hokey and a bit contrived but stick with it people.. honestly best tour ever! The catamaran is fun and the cooking/village life tour is very very good culminating in the best Sri Lankan meal! All naturally made. This is a must do tour. Highly recommended and excellent value! Take the time… guaranteed you will enjoy.

Wonderful experience! Beautiful village, friendly locals, and stunning views. A perfect blend of culture and nature.

Had an incredible time on this village tour! The scenery was stunning, the people were so welcoming, and the food was absolutely delicious — all homemade and full of flavor. A truly authentic and unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!

Great experiencing the village life of Sigiriya. A bullock ride, short tuk tuk to the boat ride on the river, then was made to feel very welcome in the traditional house, where we had cooking lessons and sampled some of the dishes. All in all, it's a very good tour.

We had a wonderful time. Kids also enjoyed. Authentic village style food was so delicious. The whole trip was absolutely fantastic. Good set up 👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️

A place you must visit, come and see it, and Behave politely and respect it.

Not far from the ancient fortress of Sigiriya and not nearly as well known although the giant statue of the Buddha can be seen from the top of the fortress. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area and generally it isn't too crowded.

This beautiful Buddhist temple is located near the local Car park of Sigiriya. There is a tall Buddha's statue and around 100 statues. Recommended place to visit if you are around Sigiriya. the place is clean and well maintained.

Very calm and quiet place Buddhist temple with giant buddha statue

A calm and attractive buddhist temple situated beside the Sigiriya Fortress Car park. A must visit place surrounded by a calm environment. Not much crowdy place as most locals are unaware of this temple.

Really nice statue and a good place to go if You visit sigiriya. The entry costs 250 rupies.

Beautiful temple with a huge standing Buddha Statue. Great little visit before we went to the Lion Rock.

A fiery feast before (or after) conquering the Lion Rock! We braved the legendary Tom Yum Kun – spicy enough to wake the Buddha, but oh so worth it! Bold, fragrant, and unapologetically hot – I’d recommend it even if your tongue does a little dance. Then came the Chicken Roti – more of a hearty meal than a snack. Packed with generous chunks of meat and veg, it’s the sort of dish that makes you question whether climbing Sigiriya after lunch was really such a clever idea. You might need a touch of patience – good things do take time here – but the coffee is proper, the service is genuinely warm, and the whole vibe? Lovely. All in all: a top spot to refuel – body and spirit – with flavour, charm, and a dash of chilli-induced euphoria.

We had an absolutely wonderful dinner at this hotel in Sigiriya! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and very reasonably priced considering the excellent quality and service. A special mention to David: his service was truly exceptional! He’s one of the most genuine, attentive, and kind people we’ve ever met. He went above and beyond to make our evening memorable, and his professionalism really stood out. What impressed us most was that, despite having many foreign guests, the staff treated local guests with the same warmth and respect. That level of hospitality is truly commendable and made us feel genuinely valued. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, great food, great atmosphere, and wonderful people. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Sigiriya!

I had such a lovely time here! The food was fresh, flavorful, and served quickly. The staff were very welcoming and made sure everything was perfect. The atmosphere felt warm and comfortable, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. Definitely recommend this spot if you’re looking for both good food and good service.

As travelers passing through, we appreciated that they offered vegetarian options and local dishes done really well. The fruit juices were thick and fresh too. Will go back if we return.

What a gem of a place! The balcony seating gave us a lovely view of the street and the food was superb — especially the fried rice with prawns. Affordable, tasty, and the service was spot-on.

The food here was delicious and served at just the right temperature. The staff were kind and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable, perfect for enjoying a meal with friends or family. Prices are fair for the quality you get, and I left feeling very satisfied. Definitely a place I’d like to come back to.

Amazing place to dine! The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The staff were polite and made us feel really comfortable. The atmosphere was calm and inviting — perfect for family or friends. I’ll definitely be coming back again soon!

Lovely family restaurant serving great food. We had chicken curry paratha and rice and curry and both were delicious! Highly recommend if in Sigiriya. Also were open for business during a heavy rainstorm which was good as some others in the area were not.

Super friendly owners and delicious food. Enjoyed it so much the first time we went back the next day. We got the chicken kottu, pumpkin and roti curry, 4 vegetable curry and Dahl and rice curry. Also the fried banana (we added ice cream too). All delicious would highly recommend

Found this spot on Google and decided to pop in. SADLY the owners don't think Google reviews are important and don't believe Google helps drive customers to them 🤦🏾‍♀️. The place was empty and the owner welcomed us. We knew the menu was catering to foreigners but didn't mind that items were priced higher given that it's a tourist destination. Food took an hour and we knew that the husband-wife duo were making things from scratch for the 6 of us. So we played UNO while we waited (we carry our own cards). Food was ok. It was fun for the kids to see paratha stuffed with honey and banana. The rotis were all made well. The egg Biryani was very basic. The curry was good. The challenge for us came towards the end when we were chatting with the owners and asked for a bill. We were told that no one has ever asked for a receipt and that they don't provide bills. That they just show the final amount in their calculator and everyone accepts it. We insisted on a written receipt and they kept making faces and rolling their eyes at our request. We're a group of two locals, two kids and two foreigners (all one family). We were told that they don't accept locals and only cater to foreigners because locals are usually bothering the foreigners🤷🏾‍♀️. We told them that not all locals are like that and that their price point would have deterred shady people from coming in anyways😂. Overall it was a fun lunch but the owners are a bit shady and put us off from returning or recommending them.

The food here was so delicious we had the breakfast two days in a row (although they are also open for lunch and dinner). The food is freshly prepared for you and the family who runs it are so kind, they even gave us a sample of another dish to try! If you’re coming to Sigiriya definitely add Liya to your list for a meal.

Awesome restaurant with delicious food !! The family always makes your food really fast and the dahl curry and roti bread is immaculate. We came here three times while being in Sigiriya and loved it. It was nice atmosphere and owners were extremely nice.

We had a Lovely meal at this restaurant. Local cuisine, mom food and very good prices. The staff was very friendly

We did a private cooking lesson at the chefs home. My friend and I cooked a whole big meal of rice and many different Currys with Chicken and traditional vegetables. 🍚🫛🧄 They explained every detail to us and I even opened a coconut by myself. 🥥🌟 The whole family was so lovely and friendly. We felt so comfortable and welcomed. Also their little kids played football with us and decorated our hair with flowers. 🌸🌺 We even got some drinks and tried all the different spices while cooking.🥭 It was a unforgettable and unique experience. Thank you so much!! 🌺🫶🏼🇱🇰🤍

Great experience. Food was wonderful. Services also. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Went with my family. All my family members enjoyed the lunch very much

Great food, kind staff. I only stayed for one night in Sigiriya but been this place twice.

A lovely little place. The food was absolutely delicious and tasted nice and fresh. And the staff were super friendly! They brought us some fresh watermelon at the end of the meal too.

I highly recommend it, really delicious food, well seasoned. In some restaurants they serve simple dishes but they always lack something, here the food is amazing and the service is very nice! 😉

We dined here everyday we were in Sigiriya. Quality food, huge portions, and very nice staff. The curry with rice and chicken kottu were amongst our favorites. Also got takeout which was very quick .

Good food. Ordered the sri Lankan veg curry and fish curry and it was brought out as a shared meal. It was for 2 people and was more then enough for us. Good portions, good price, good food. I would give it a chance. The menu is small but I like them that way. The know what they are good at cooking and that's what they make

Favorite restaurant in Sigiriya!! Reeeaalllyyy good place with delicious food! We tried the chicken curry with rice and got in addition plenty of other curries like pumpkin, dal... And the portions are big! The picture show two portions of the chicken curry with rice. After we have finished the food we got a small fruit plate, too. Staff is very friendly!

The food is incredible, especially the vegetable Rice & Curry. We also ordered Avocado Salad, which was such a big Portion with perfectly riped Avocado, onions, tomatos and Olives! Also the mango Juice was so sweet, thick and a lot! We came here every day! Our waiter was super friendly and thoughtful.

Tried this restaurant after the Sigiriya sunset visit. Once you walk out from the road, it is a short walk to this stretch of restaurants. Tried the curry chicken which came with rice and few other sides which all tasted good. Also had fresh watermelon juice which was good.

After a huge day coming up from Colombo then a great (but very hot safari) we had one of the best so far in Sri Lanka. Very fast service, big meals (not spicy unless you ask) and cold beer. Definitely recommend this place for the busy traveller

Our local driver recommended us to have lunch here as he thinks it’s a great place. Ahinsa didn’t let him down. We had the most delicious meal there, all local, very good price and excellent service. We went with our son who is not that keen on very spicy food and he had what he said was the best Kottu - now it’s his favourite food and keeps asking for it. But that first one is the most memorable. Highly recommend this place to anyone

I had the best kottu ever had so far served with mango juice made with fresh mangoes. Their service was also good as their food especially the staff named Lakshman who served us was very friendly and looked into our needs. My kids also loved the atmosphere and everything and I will always recommend this restaurant to all my friends who's coming to visit the sigiriya lion rock.

The food here is deilsh! Get the shared curry for 2. It’s 4500 rupees. Could feed 3 people.. So Much food and the flavours are sensational!! Loved the potatoes, okra and chicken curry…. Had to eat with my hands.. so much nicer!! Eaten all around Sri Lanka and this was in my top 2 👍👍🇱🇰

Good for babies! Delicious food and the only place we found that had a highchair for baby. Good food options for baby too with pasta on the menu and they also gave a little plate of watermelon for her too
