I recently dined at the Oak Ray Restaurant in Kandy and must say it is an excellent place to dine if you are visiting Kandy Temple and City. The restaurant is conveniently located very close to the temple, which makes it the perfect place to refresh after the temple visit.
The prices at the Oak Ray restaurant are very reasonable and this made the experience even more enjoyable. You can enjoy great food at affordable prices. The staff was very courteous and welcoming. They were well-versed with the menu and helped us choose our meals.
The only small drawback is that the location of the restaurant is not visible much. But, for people who are aware of the locality, it is not an issue.
Overall, I had a very positive experience at the Oak Ray Restaurant in Kandy. I recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a tasty meal at a reasonable price while on a visit to Kandy. The kindness of the staff and the great food make it a worthwhile dining experience.

It doesn't matter how good the food is if the service is appalling! We arrived with our guide and driver to treat him to lunch. They completely ignored our driver as a guest. My wife and I received menus, but he didn't. We had to ask for one. They "forgot" to bring us water as we watched them serve the European guests. After asking, they brought the water and only poured glasses for my wife and me, neglecting our guest. When we finished eating, our guest wanted to take the rest of his food home as a takeaway. The young, tall and slim waiter gave me a disgusted look when I asked, then he asked someone else to assist me. I don't care if it's just a slice of bread, I'm paying for it, and I should be able to take it away. They spoke to our guest in the Sri Lankan language, and he told them it was okay out of embarrassment. This was saddening, and I truly hate how I felt after this experience. I DON'T RECOMMEND this place to anyone. I don't know if it was racism or colorism, but discrimination has no place in a "professional" environment. I was thoroughly enjoying our day in Kandy, but this disgusting behavior honestly ruined the day.

Great place to have coffee or tea after visiting the tooth remnant temple. After reading several reviews, it sounds like the food isnt so great. However, the atmosphere is so good you can chill and have a decent coffee.

Please issue a proper bag to carry the stuff bought from your restaurants... you may charge it to the customer if you want... unless for sure ull lose some regular customers...restaurant business is quite competitive and the customers have so many options..being a regular clinet just pointing this..

I had a piece of chocolate cake and a Caramel Frappé. While the Frappé was good, the piece of cake wasn't. They just heat up a piece of cake and pour chocolate sauce on top of it, but still that was hard and does not have the quality you expect for 420/= a piece
Overall the place was OK, clean and air conditioned. I would only go for a beverage next time
Horrible experience, food was not fresh and tasteless. They serve packaged food from supermarket and they only heat it up. Expensive but worse than a fast food
