Went for a drink here so can't comment on food. There is a view of the lake and the Buddha on the hill but its not that picturesque compared to the views from the lakeside itself. Mike made an effort with the customers but there weren't enough to make it feel comfortable. Liked his 2 boxer dogs. Music was too... More

I must say that the only thing you are making look bad is yourself! It is not Tripadvisor that writes reviews but individual people. KFC is around 37 out of 46 restaurants in Kandy. That is great advice! Regards M More

One of the few places in Kandy where you can get a drink. The cocktails were nice, although a bit more alcohol could have been used if it was up to my taste. Food was also nice, view was great and the combination of all gave me and my friends a lovely night. Definitely can recommend this place.

Friendly staff and owner...thanks for your hospitality Mike. A nice place to come and chill. Cold beer (although non on tap when we went :( ), and good tasty food. Not a big fan of the dogs running around etc, nor I noticed were some of the other punters. Overall, I would certainly recommend this place, and is a welcome... More

We dined here on the 10th April - a group of 28. Michael our host requested that we pre-book the meals as we were a large group and that worked well as we got our meals without any delay on the night. On our arrival Michael made us feel welcome and we enjoyed a few drinks and the view. The... More

We came here to see the view and ended up just loving the place in general. Definitely get there before dark so you can see the sunset and the colors change and the fruit bats come out. The beer is cold and a good selection and the food is plentiful and good. We had huge portions. The owner came out... More

This place was like an oasis in Kandy for me. The Chinese food they offer is really delicious and kept me sane in Sri Lanka, as I couldn't handle anymore curries. The owner is super nice and has a DJ booth with records and plays great music. The internet is also super fast. I just hung out there all day... More

Was the Bamboo Garden Chinese restaurant, now the Slightly Chilled Lounge this place has the location (by the lake), the food (a wide mix of Chinese and international) to suit any palate and great cocktails (not expensive either). If you want a quick in and out snack, go somewhere else. This place is a chilled as the name says and... More

This place has great views over Kandy, so it's good to get there before the sun goes down. The food is chinese which we weren't looking for but it was very good and lots of choice. It is clean and has inviting modern decor and staff were very friendly. The owner is English and seemed very interested in encouraging us... More
