Chef Lady Restaurant

We had dinner at this fabulous restaurant two nights in a row because it was the best fish curry ever. I promise you!!! Even now months after we’ve been there I still can remember the taste of the sauce combined with the mango chutney. Please do yourself a favor and have dinner at the lady chef restaurant when in Tissamaharama.

Come here for an authentic experience. Absolutely delicious food, special flavors - we had to wait for a while, as all dishes are prepared fresh especially for each order and it is a small kitchen, so have patience, it will definitely be with it! We had the octopus (we asked for spicy, but we could manage it 😁) and grilled snapper with an amazing sauce.

Being a very picky person for food, I finally found my favourite restaurant in Sri Lanka.. you will be served fresh seafood cooked at perfection! Comfort food, hearty and made with love. Products are fresh, sauce is perfectly balanced! Service takes time because the lady chef is alone in the Kitchen and cooks from scratch. The fact that it takes time proves that you are not served reheated food but fresh! The prawn curry was absolutely delicious! The chilli octopus had great texture, not chewy, perfect! To anybody who just loves simple yet perfectly executed comfort food, this will be your Jam! Thank you so much again and keep up the effort! ❤❤❤
