I recently had a chicken rice and curry from here. It’s really tasty and worth it for the price (550/=). It’s served in buffet, so you can eat enough. The atmosphere is nice with a pleasant interior design. And the service is also good. Since it is by the road, you can easily access and favour your taste buds. They serve pizzas, fried rice, coffee types, juices and cakes too.

The seafood salad was fresh and flavorful, bursting with a variety of textures. The cheese toast was perfectly crispy with a rich, gooey center. The fish fingers were crunchy on the outside and tender inside, making for a delightful trio of dishes. Highly recommended!
