Chef Lady Restaurant

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.

Amazing, fresh, excellent food, with delicious flavours. There’s a fresh seafood menu - we had spiced prawns and grilled calamari and it was outstanding. Loved it, it tasted so fresh and was very flavoursome. Was the best place we ate in Sri Lanka. Better even than Ministry of Crab. Good service, nice restaurant, good atmosphere. Nothing not to like. Don’t go anywhere else in Tissamaharama, it’s worth the journey. Very friendly husband and wife team, helped us with a tuktuk home too.

We ate at this restaurant because of the good reviews and we weren't disappointed. we ordered the prawn curry and the whole fish curry. The prawn curry was delicious and some of the best food we have had while in Sri Lanka. The fish was very fresh. The only negative was the size of the rice portions and we had to ask for more. The owners had a very cute German Shepherd puppy which was very friendly.
