lots of options - Edit
this place is always busy and for good reason as there is so many options for vegan and vegetarian. a couple times we couldn’t get a table as they are running on slightly lower occupancy because of the gas shortage. had the four veggies curry one night and whilst it was tasty it didn’t have loads of flavour so maybe this place is better for western options you can’t get elsewhere in ella.

Disappointing - Edit
Lured in by the giant VEGAN / PLANT-BASED sign out front, my friend and I went in. First of all, it’s a bit weird to see this sign, because the menu is full of animal products.
Read moreWe both ordered the Rainbow Bowl…literally white rice with some raw vegetables on top with a little bit of sauce. My friend summarized it perfectly: when people think of vegan food as being boring and tasteless, this is exactly what they are thinking of.
I ordered the pancakes and they were better, but way overpriced.
Service was not horrible, but not worth the 10% service charge tacked onto the bill.
There are far better options in town. Save your money and go somewhere else.

Not impressive - Edit
I was here 3 times and it wasn’t great. I had pesto wrap (tasteless), kottu (too salty) and falafel wrap (tasteless). Also I had papaya juice 3 times and it was good only once.
Read moreThe stuff understands the difference between vegan and vegetarian.
There aren’t any locals so nobody would disturb you.
Also they had a problem with a door knob in WC so it would not open

Disappointing! - Edit
Whilst it’s great that they serve vegan options, both the nachos and the gnocchi were pretty tasteless and disappointing and the nachos were weirdly thick? Like not crunchy??? Idk, not good nachos anyway!

Good food, expensive - Edit
The meal I had was tasty however I had to make it vegan by specifying no cheese or sour cream. Also they don’t give change, what’s that about?!

Sehr lecker und vegan freundlich - Edit
Gemütliches Restaurant mit Sitzplätzen über der Hauptstraße.
Read moreDie Bedienung hat uns auf der Karte gezeigt, was alles vegan zubereitet werden kann. Sehr freundlich.
Die Guacamole Burritos waren super lecker und voll mit Avocado.
Insgesamt ist es dort vergleichsweise teuer aber das ist es wert, wenn man "Western Style Food Cravings" hat.
Pros: Viel veganisierbar oder vegan bestellbar
Cons: Preise teils deutlich über Durchschnitt

Nachos were needed - Edit
After a week in Sri Lanka, I was craving western style food. I enjoyed Rainbow very much. The nachos were delicious and made vegan to order. I sat on a bean bag and chilled out to the sounds of Ella town. You won’t be disappointed!

Unscheinbar aber super - Edit
Auch wenn draußen nur "Inn" dran steht, verbirgt sich dahinter ein super tolles Restaurant. Das Essen war grandios und lecker. Gut gewürzt, frisch und schmackhaft. Wir aßen vegetarisch. Der Service war super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Für Sri Lanka Verhältnisse teuer, für diese touristische Straße aber in Ordnung. Preis Leistung stimmte. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und kommen gerne wieder.

Excellent - Edit
Very chill on the sofa overlooking the street. The vegan options are a bit samey but are well done. All dishes and drinks (shakes made with coconut milk!) were freshly made on the spot. The resident doggy Rocky is super calm and friendly. He definitely meditates.
Read moreOnly drawback would be the noisy street below, but most venues in this town front onto this street. Also, quite expensive for small-town Sri Lanka.
Strong wifi from Chill across the street.
Pros: Guacamole, Fresh, Relaxing

Yummy vegan options - Edit
Super chill restaurant, head straight to the top floor, the couches are so comfy! I got the rice bean and guacamole burrito, which they made vegan for me! The burrito is actually roti bread which is a major win and it also came with roast potato gems! A little pricey but worth it for the yummy food and great balcony!

Nice spot - Edit
Nothing specifically marked as vegan but I think they’d be happy to veganise most dishes if you asked. I had nachos with lovely guacamole to start, and a rice and gauc wrap which was alright! Nice that the term vegan was understood and could be catered for 😄good cocktails too - try the coconut cream pina colada!

Delicious but pricey - Edit
Delicious food. This restaurant completely understands what vegan is and can change almost any dish into a vegan one. I had vegan nachos and a vegan guacamole burrito. Very tasty and it's nice to have Western food again. The only downside is that it's a bit pricey, but you get delicious food in return. I paid 790rps for the burrito and 690 for the nachos.

Nice Alternative - Edit
When you have enough from local food and want to have a bit of home-taste. This is a great spot to go to. We had some tortillas and burritos as well as some cocktails and it was really refreshing to get some food from home. Luckily they are familiar with the vegan lifestyle and know how to adapt the non vegan dishes on request. Nice staff and great place to hide from the busy main street.

Incredible food in Ella! - Edit
My family and I are travelling around Sri Lanka and thankfully ended up in this awesome little place in Ella for lunch. Everyone was so happy with the food, it was so tasty. We are all vegan and found lots of choice on the menu. The vegan version of nachos was particularly delicious.
Read moreThe staff were so lovely 😊
Cocktails 👌🏼
I would give it 5 stars if I could but happy cow won’t let me since it’s not totally vegan.
If you happen to be in the area, do not miss this place, you won’t regret it!
Pros: Lots of vegan options, Awesome staff (& house dog 💚), Incredible food

Delicious - Edit
We had a delicious Detox Smoothie and vegetable fried rice. Full of flavour and lots of extra chunky veg on the side. Service was a little slow but didn’t impact on our enjoyment of the meal. Plenty of veggie and vegan options. Yummm

If you’re in Ella - go here - Edit
They were out of guacamole but we still had the rice and bean burrito which was so so delicious and I nice change from eating Dahl and rice every night! We also got the vegan nachos (they know what vegan means - just ask them to change it) which were a bit too salty but otherwise great. Great location - first time I’ve seen the word vegan anywhere in Sri Lanka so that was great. Definitely would recommend

Good, filling food - Edit
We ordered the burrito with veggies instead of guacamole and asked to take off sour cream and cheese. They immediately said “vegan?” so that was reassuring. The burrito was great. Very filling. Good outdoor seating. On the Main Street in Ella.
