Finalmente tofu!

Un plauso va al posto perché dopo 15 giorni ho mangiato finalmente tofu, non è un locale prettamente vegano ma puoi trovare antipasti veg, bowl con selezione vegana e tofu/ falafel/ humus e soprattutto un dolce 100% vegan! Posto molto accogliente e team giovane e super attento! Approvato

Updated from previous review on 2025-12-26

Pros: Bowl humus con aggiunta di tofu, Humus con pinzimonio , Limonata al passion fruit

Awesome

Koha is an awesome bar/ restaurant! The food, the service and the atmosphere are superb. Definitely recommended. Also, all the waiters are incredibly friendly and nice.

We went there many times and had lots of different food and drinks. Everything is soooooooo good.

It is a real pitty that this Website does not have the 5 Star option for not completely vegan restaurants. Koha earned those 5 Stars no matter what!!!

Great find

Lots of delicious options for vegan eaters. We had the smoked carrot hummus to share with cassava crisps to start and two tofu banh’s with peanut sauce. Both were delicious and the restaurant I’ve was perfect for a relaxed medley out.
The staff were so brilliant, customer service skills 10/10.
Great cocktails and easy vibe. We would definitely come back again

Pros: Food - Vegan , Service , Drinks

Best Bowls in Town

I ordered a vegan bowl and a peanut farm smoothie. Both has been delicious but of course more pricey than a local restaurant! There are a few other vegan options available. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is really nice. Chilled music and comfortable pillow seating area. Only the sometimes a bit noisy street is the only con here.

Erg leuke, gezellige sfeer, goed eten.

Deze tent zit steeds bomvol, nu maar even aan de bar gewacht tot er plek was en het wachten was de moeite waard, erg goed eten, vriendelijk personeel

Nice experience

The place looks cheerful and chill, the smoothie I ordered was delicious and the chickpea burger was okay, a bit dry but still, better than most of the burgers I tried in Unawatuna. The fries were terrible, was not able to eat them.
They also have a hummus platter and a vegan bowl with falafel. #Veganuary

Pros: Better than the average burger in Unawatuna

limited vegan options but tasty !

the falafel and humous bowl was really tasty, often quite a typical option which isn’t very exciting but the salad was really good and it wasn’t dry or bland at all. not loads of options available which is a shame

Location is cozy but not many vegan options

The food was served quickly even though the place was quite full. However, the service was only okay.. For example, it was not possible to exchange fries for something else.
The burger was tasty & the ingredients were fresh.
The fries, on the other hand, were quite cold.
For Sri Lankan standards it was rather expensive.

Pros: Quick served, Cozy location

Cons: Rather expensive, Service not that good, Not many vegan options

Cozy place, friendly staff

The place looks cozy and there are lots of power outlets in case you need to charge your devices. The bathroom is clean. The French press coffee is good. But though the place looks modern, they still don’t accept credit cards. And I had a smoothie bowl in a wooden plate which smelled a lot like other food which was not really pleasant😒The staff is great, especially the lady (probably the owner) is super friendly.
Overall, the place is nice but there’re things to improve.

Pros: Friendly staff, Clean, Power outlets

Cons: Cash only

Hey there! Thanks for taking time to review our restaurant. Yes we don‘t except credit cards, as we are in Sri Lanka, facing several power cuts, just recovering from covid and reopened our restaurant.
Sorry that your wooden bowl smelled like something else, please just tell us next time, that we can check as we never heard that before.

All the best,
Koha Surf Lounge

Oily veggie wrap

Ordered the veggie wrap which comes with sweet potato fries and barley salad. Both sides were really good, fresh and healthy.

The wrap had potential. The wrap itself was really good. It was listed as a pita but seemed like a roti. The wrap was listed as having paneer (or maybe it was haloumi) cheese. Didn’t see much cheese but that’s fine. The veggies were absolutely drenched in oil. So much that it leaked out of the wrap before I even picked it up. But then I picked it up and wow. Maybe it was an accident? (Hoping it was an accident.) Again, really good potential. I think the cost was 750 rupees.

Nice staff.

Veg options

Went here to get something other than curry. Their veggie burger, wrap and kebab can be made vegan however are a little bit bland when you take away all the sauces and extras that aren’t vegan. Staff were good, also have good drinks.

Decent food, sleepy place

The guy who served me had that air of barely being bothered to get up and take my order. Or maybe he was just having an off day. Other staff seemed ok. The vegie wrap was awesome, and filling. Although the prices are a bit high considering how cheap everything else is in this country. Still, in a town short on vegetarian options, it was an overall good experience.

Pros: Tasty

Cons: Pricey, Sullen service
