Our tour leader took us here for an authentic Sri Lanken rice and curry. We were given a large selection of vegetables, which were all delicious, and a very large portion of rice. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meal and were very well looked after by the manageress. After the meal we were shown some of the new rooms that have just been added to the hotel. They were beautifully furnished with large, well equipped bathrooms

We stopped for lunch on the recommendation of our guide after seeing round Polonnaruwa. It's just off a main road, and is a bit more rough and ready than some places we went to. It's still OK, though the toilets could do with an upgrade. It felt more like a canteen than some places we went to. However, it had a good selection of food, set up in the standard buffet fashion, and we ate it very happily. The food I'd say was definitely above average of the places we went to. It was also at the cheaper end of the spectrum.

Having visited numerous roadside restaurants and rest houses I can confidently say this was by far the best food of them all.
