I recently had the pleasure of dining at Anuradhapura Delights, a restaurant located in Anuradhapura. The experience left me with a delightful impression of the restaurant's cuisine, especially its emphasis on freshness and flavor. The server was stand out too and kept refilling my water without being asked, this was the topper on the cake for me.
The chick fried rice dish was expertly prepared, with each grain of rice perfectly cooked and infused with an array of flavors. The chicken was tender and well-seasoned, blending seamlessly with the vibrant vegetables. The combination of ingredients created a mouthwatering symphony of tastes that left me craving for more.
Another standout dish was the devilled chicken. The chicken was cooked to perfection, with a crispy exterior and succulent meat. The spicy sauce provided a delightful kick, balanced by the sweetness of the caramelized onions and bell peppers. The flavors were bold and harmonious, showcasing the culinary expertise of the restaurant's chefs.
I also had the pleasure of indulging in the hot butter cuttlefish. The dish was a true delight, with tender and perfectly cooked cuttlefish coated in a rich, buttery sauce. The hint of spice added an extra layer of complexity to the dish, making it a delectable treat for the taste buds.
To complement my meal, I ordered the Tom Yum soup, and it did not disappoint. The soup had a fragrant aroma that hinted at the robust flavors to come. The combination of lemongrass, lime, and Thai spices created a tangy and aromatic broth. The addition of succulent shrimp and fresh vegetables made it a satisfying and comforting choice.
While it may be slightly on the more expensive side, the quality of the food justifies the price. The freshness of the ingredients and the skillful execution of each dish make it a worthwhile culinary experience. The attentive and friendly staff further added to the overall positive dining experience.
In conclusion, it is a restaurant that truly lives up to its name. From the flavorful chicken fried rice to the tantalizing devilled chicken, hot butter cuttlefish, and Tom Yum soup, the restaurant offers a delightful array of dishes. Although slightly pricier, the quality and taste of the food make it a worthwhile choice for those seeking a memorable culinary experience in Anuradhapura.

Devilled Chicken
Had dinner last night at Casserole restaurant upstairs. Nice setting. Staff friendly. Ordered Vegetarian spring rolls and Sweet and Sour Chicken and steamed rice.
Spring rolls tasty.
Sweet and sour was average. They coated chicken with batter. Interesting way of making sweet and sour, but unfortunately not a good way. I took off batter and ate chicken which was a bit bland. Not much sauce on the plate. The steamed rice was plentiful but dry.
Overall nice restaurant and staff.
There selections include a lot of different country's dishes on the menu.
Probably ordering a Chinese meal in Anuradhapura wasn't the best choice, but I fancied a Sweet and Sour.

I recently visited this restaurant that had quite a unique feature: a supermarket located in the same premises. While this may not be an important factor for some, it certainly caught my attention. However, the restaurant itself left much to be desired.
Firstly, I must say that their rice and curry dish was not up to my expectations. It lacked flavor and seemed a bit undercooked. However, one redeeming quality of the restaurant was their extensive variety of dishes. They had a wide range of options available, so if you're someone who likes to try new things, this might be the place for you.
Another positive aspect of the restaurant was their lime juice. It was refreshing and had just the right amount of tanginess, making it a perfect thirst-quencher on a hot day.

Impressive restaurant and good tasting food here. Located just above the Family Super grocery store, it is a good place to have a nice meal.
The menu has a good selection of options for anyones taste. We ordered the Veg Combo and it was quite good and flavourful.
Service here is professional and attentive. Definitely recommend this place if you're in the area
The atmosphere is really good with comfortable chairs and clean tables. Suitable for outings such as dates.
But food are expensive and quantity and quality is not satisfactory for the price.
Some staff members also having a bad attitude.
