Cute little local cafe with lovely food. I ordered the egg kottu with a milo shake. Perfect amount for me (my stomach is small) although may not be the amount others are used to. But very reasonable prices so I guess you get what you pay for. Staff are friendly and the atmosphere feels calm and lighthearted. I am a tourist and I did not see other tourists here which was very nice.

The food is tasty, the ambience is simple yet spacious and very clean. The cafe owner is very polite and helpful. We ordered chicken fried rice, chicken kothu and couple of drinks. Both of them were really good, and our favorites were chicken kothu and falooda shake. Over a good budget friendly place with good food.
