The setting is informal and open to the tropical air. Seating is compact, so the restaurant can feel busy at popular meal times. The original visit found the colourful design and relaxed atmosphere well suited to Weligama.
It is a useful option after a beach day or surf session. Takeaway is also practical when tables are full.
