Superb food and service. Family run Restaurant and café, always kind and with a smile. Prices are lower compared to nearby restaurants, cooking is done with love and you can taste it, since love is the best ingredient. If you like sweet then try special B&W Smoothie, best smoothie I had in Sri Lanka.

We had a lovely meal here- they opened especially for us and the owner and his family were so friendly and we enjoyed talking with them. We were craving western food and really enjoyed the vegan burger and veg wrap- best western food we have had in Sri Lanka! Rest of the menu also looks great.

Some of the best food we had in all of Sri Lanka. Everything was so fresh and the owner was brilliant. Would highly recommend the Mexican wrap and the pineapple juice (came back for these multiple times). The pancakes and omelette were also very good. Wishing the owner and his family the best as they were all so nice.

Two days in a row we came here for dinner without any regret. Such a pleasant place, great food and a lovely family business. We recommend the special lassie what has mango and banana. For food we ordered chicken kottu, nasi goreng, chicken noodles and chicken sharma. All prepared with great care and full of taste. If it's not spicy enough don't forget to ask for more fresh chilli. Highly recommend with good value (taste!) for money!

Amazing family restaurant. The food and service are the best I've had in Sri Lanka over the past 3 weeks. I was given extra food and customizations, and the value is much better than at surrounding restaurants. I was also treated to games and chess with the owner's two daughters :). Wonderful family, wonderful atmosphere, wonderful food...easiest 5 stars ever!

10/10 for hospitality, feels very homely and you are included in that feeling during your meal, which is good and good portion sizes!Daughters are characters, very sweet and I loved having a couple of card games with the family, really made my stay here feel special Also to add, I was asked within minutes if I needed any mosquito spray, that was a very nice and appreciated gesture.

Hands down best restaurant in Galle! Huge menu and lots of options for vegetarians, big portions, and very good prices (650-1500 rupees per meal). Very peaceful environment with relaxing music and art on the walls. There’s even a little art studio. What I loved most was the family who runs it!!!! They are kind, creative, authentic souls who are raising the most amazing little daughters — if you’re lucky you’ll get to play a game of cards with them! Ask them about their artwork and youtube channel :) I ate here nearly every day and look forward to returning!
