We had a really nice dinner. We had the vegetarian Sri Lankan style dinner and afterwards we shared the banana/pineapple fritters. It was super nice and tasted very good. Service was also really good. Unfortunately we we’re the only ones, but the food and service made the night.

The food is great with friendly staff. We ordered rice with vegetable curry option and they served 8 different kinds of vegetarian curries to go with nicely cooked hot white rice. Loved the ambience with lush green trees and plants. They cook food with some home-grown fruits and vegetables which lets you try organic and tasty food.

Srilanken Rice and Curry
After a long day of travel, my friends and I are here at the recommendation of a friend. This was our favorite meal of our entire trip. We each got the special curry and rice. All of the dishes were so good and there was a great array of flavors. You can also get more of any one of them. The prices are very affordable. The staff was lovely and happily helped with a dietary restriction. If you are traveling in the area, you should stop here for a great meal!

Rice and Sri Lankan Curries
Very very good food! We’ve eaten here twice and will eat here again. Very good portion sizes and they rotate the vegetable curries so you get to try something new. Me and my girlfriend both ordered the vegetable curry and they brought out 10 different dishes for us to try, such good value. Great quality and quantity! Highly recommend!!!

We were on our way to Sigiriya and it was close to lunch time. We happened to pass by this restaurant because it looks clean and authentic, so decided to lunch there. It’s a simple place with coconut palm leaves roof (cadjan), chairs were comfortable to sit, and is spacious enough to not have to hear loud conversation of other customers.
The menu has a decent selection of choices, but it’s best to order rice and curry as that’s is fastest to get served and the food is tasty and fresh.
There was a misspelled on the menu for a shrimp appetizer. It indicated “butter shrimps”, but in fact it meant “battered shrimps”.
There were 2 other tables eating at the restaurant when we were there. I think they came with their drivers or tour guide. They were all tourists from Europe (Spain & French), so perhaps that explained the food served was not spicy. Since I like spicy food, I had to ask them to make it like the local taste, which they did.
We came here during lunch, the place was bright but I’m not sure if I would want to come here for dinner as it might be quite dark and chances are there would be plenty of mosquitos due to open air restaurant.

Srilanken Rice and Curry
Firstly, they were partial towards white people and didn’t bother to serve us. The restaurant is super over priced!
1000 LKR for a mixed fruit juice, how can they even justify it 😖
We still ordered Sri Lankan rice and curry and sandwich. They served alot of curries to us with rice, the eggplant and raddish one was good but few of them had a lot of oil in it.
The sandwich was very basic, toasted bread with cheese.
The overall experience was not great at all. Please don’t spoil your time and money going there 😵💫

Wow what an amazing experience on our second day in Sri Lanka! Not only the special rice and curry was five-star delicious, we also got a super tasty banana split after the main course for free. The owner and his son were so gentle and friendly. As it was not enough the owner gave us a TukTuk ride to our stay in Sigiriya as the place was less crowded on that day. We were so happy! Highly recommended!!

DO NOT GO ON RATINGS !
I never thought I would pen down a review criticising a place which serves me food as I always consider that sacred since someone is feeding your stomach & hunger but I got to say I despise this place.
Every since we entered the restaurant, I got a feeling that they were anti Indian or Asian or a combination of both. I just did not feel that, I noticed this because I saw they had put up fans for the only other table which was occupied. The server did not come to take the order unless we had to literally catch hold of him.
The icing on the cake was they told our driver ‘Why the heck are they just ordering two dishes among 3 people, that’s cheap’. I mean how derogatory is that, I mean we aren’t hungry and no one can question me what and how much I order ! Just to be clear, we aren’t even in the same league, so next time they should tread lightly on whom they call cheap.
Food was horrible as well. So pretty damn overpriced. I mean prefer to stay hungry than rather eat here.

We stayed in Sigirya for 3 nights, visited Rithu through recommendation from our driver Sudath (legend). It was amazing, our first experience of Sri Lankan food on our trip and it was good we went again the following day. Great food, great service. Highly recommend going for the Sri Lankan Curry.

Rice and Sri Lankan Curries
I had a delightful experience at a Rithu Restaurant in Sigiriya, renowned for its authentic Sri Lankan curry and many reviews on their walls.
The menu offered a wide selection of curries, and I opted for a traditional rice and curry platter. The array of curries, including chicken, fish, and vegetable varieties, were bursting with rich flavors and the perfect balance of spices. The accompanying coconut sambal and papadums added an extra layer of deliciousness to the meal.
The restaurant's ambiance was warm and welcoming, with attentive staff ready to guide me through the menu and offer recommendations. I enjoyed every bite of the flavorful and hearty meal, truly savoring the authentic taste of Sri Lankan cuisine.
If you're a curry lover or simply looking to explore the vibrant flavors of Sri Lanka, this restaurant is a must-visit.
