This is one place that I go with my family or friends to have some quality food. Although the place does not look like a posh restaurant, they offer one of the finest food collection in Negombo. If they are to improve- they can improve on their service. It takes a lot of time to prepare the food. if they... More

We went here for lunch (just a wild guess that it might be OK) but boy were we surprised. It was more than ok.. It was great. We ordered a mixed grill and a seafood fried rice and was trying hard to finish off the food. The rice was very tasty and spicy.. And they have done an excellent dish... More

Negombo beach is very touristic and the restaurant prices higher than elsewhere. King Coconut prices were similar to other places but the quality and quantity of food served here was better than others. Also the location on beachside where you an actually have a table on the sand is a plus. The large number of (obviously not the poorest) locals... More

Visited this place for lunch with a friend, who a shame it's gone down. I asked the waiter to wipe the table as it was dirty he came along with dry paper napkins wiped in a small circle and left it at that, the chairs were black dirty and never washed, the cloth place mat stuck to the table. We... More

We wrapped up our Sri Lankan journey with lunch here, at our driver's recommendation. And boy was it good. Superbly located on the beach (I went for a walk after lunch), and with really, really good food. The value was the other winner - nowhere near the prices you'd expect for potentially the best seafood lunch in Sri Lanka.

Well priced food and beverages. Seafood was amazing, especially the seafood platter! The staff were friendly, genuine and eager to please. Restaurant is situated right on the beach and the sound of the waves adds to the ambiance. Would definitely recommend it!

After reading the reviews on Trip Advisor I was expecting good food and I wasnt dissapointed. The food was very good and service was friendly, and it was good value for money.

The location, staff, facilities and free wifi were nice, but I was there for the seafood and it didn't disappoint. I had the large seafood platter and it was great. They didn't have EGB (must have drink in Sri Lanka) but the lime drinks were nice. The staff remind you to post on tripadvisor but I didn't mind that. It... More
