best masala dosa of my life. - Edit

Posted by HollyEQuin on 22 Oct 2016.

There is sometimes a bit of confusion with staff about what's vegan and what's not.

There are two locations and the one closer to temple of the tooth is more expensive, busier and much hotter, especially if you have to sit upstairs. If you can, head to the location near Kandy railway station on Peredinaya road!

Really tasty, simple dosa and gravy. Super tasty. Has the feel of a fast food outlet. The McDonald's of dosa, if you like. Don't let that put you off though. The food is great. Simple menu and at a very cheap price. Highly recommended

Pros: super tasty, very cheap, several locations

Cons: atmosphere of a fast food place

Good restaurent but not completely vegan - Edit

Posted by Praneeth on 25 Jan 2016.

Good food and a nice place for vegetarians. Not all food are vegan and some may contain dairy. And they don't know the difference between vegetarian and vegan food, so better to clarify whether the food contains dairy or not, before placing an order.

The food is delicious but be very careful if you want vegan as most of the items have dairy.
They also didn't seem to understand the difference between vegetarian and vegan.

Pros: delicious , inexpensive

Cons: hard to figure out what was vegan

The food is fantastic and the staff are very kind and helpful. If you want an authentic experience with scrumptious Sri Lankan food while in Kandy then Balaji Dosai is a must!

the saviours of kandy - Edit

Posted by LobkeBrasseur on 04 Apr 2013.

this is the only vegetarian restaurant in kandy (they have 5 branches!) and a real saviour for vegetarians like us. we ate here every day and it was always delicious.the snacks are fresh and cheap and the lunch packet is a good deal at 100rs,since you can ask for refills.
their sweets are really good for sri lankan standards.
the ulundu vade and susiyan are really tasty.
most dishes are vegan, only the special dosa is baked in butter.
friendly staff especially in the colombo street branch (they have more choice here and have all the sweets)

Pros: fresh and tasty, friendly staff, cheap
