Taco Tuesday

You can tell a place is good when there's a queue for tables! But well worth the wait. Delicious tacos - tasty and filling

Pros: Vegan tacos

Just had a drink

Just had a drink there since I just had had lunch. The passion and peppermint iced tea was great though. Like the design of the place and the staff is very friendly😄

Good vibes

jackfruit and mushroom tacos were very good, can definitely recommend! So happy to see michelada as well. The only downside was the price but it was worth it

Vegan options

Good selection of vegan options! A tad oily but tasty and the staff were friendly. As expected, more expensive than smaller (Sri Lankan) restaurants.

Expensive but tasty

Kind of expensive place, but very nice atmosphere. We had the jackfruit tacos & vegan burrito (I think the only two vegan options on the menu). The food came quickly and was tasty, but I think a bit to pricey compared to other places.

Decent

Got the juice there and I can say that this was just the decent juice. I also asked to remove ice in the drink which they put like the half of the glass and staff there is friendly but they don’t seem to like their job that much. The interior is very nice and the furniture is cute! I don’t know how’s the food tho there #Veganuary

Pros: Veg options , Nice interior

Cons: Might be pricey

very busy but tasty

a number of options available such as burritos and tacos, had the jackfruit tacos and the sweet potato ones which were the tastier of the two quite messy to eat but very good. a bit more expensive but a really nice setting and modern and a nice change of cuisine. it was very very busy we had to wait about 20 mins for a table and there was a queue for a while after for tables but worth it if not in a rush.

Close to being good

Basically, the burrito was very nice, but they burned the underside of it when they were sealing it. I should have asked them to replace it, but it got so busy so quickly. On top of that, due to a power outage, it was unbearably hot in there

Amazing Tacos

They have 3 vegan tacos options, one burrito, a few starters, a Mexican rice bowl and Milkshakes.
The mushroom tacos and Mango Milkshake were my favorite!

Pros: Vegan options., Beautiful place.

Best guacamole ever tasted!

The food was delicious! Many clearly marked vegan options available. The starters were wonderfull, with vegan options being either guacamole or three salsas, both served with homemade plantain crisps. Large starters, even when choosing medium size, with the most delicious guacamole we have ever had. Their vegan tacos were also great.

They also served homemade sodas with exotic flavors.

Pros: Lots of clearly marked vegan options

Great jackfruit tacos. Accept cards.

They have jackfruit tacos, mushroom tacos, some other kind of tacos. Vegan burrito and vegan starters. The food tastes great. The staff is welcoming. They accept cards. The drinks are also good. Always crowded. Better to book a table in advance for evening. Reasonable prices

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Tasty food, Accept cards

Fresh and healthy

A nice place in Unawatuna if you crave something else than rice and curry and want something healthy. I had the mexican jackfruit bowl. It was fresh and nice. I wanted to try their kombucha and vegan bounty cake but they where empty. Too bad, I guess it would be nice :P

Pros: Clearly marked on the menu whats vegan, Feels healthy and fresh

Very tasty vegan food

I ordered the jack fruit bowl and the guacamole with chips. Since it's a little more expensive than the food I normally eat in sri lanka I only drank water. But the food was worth every cent! So fresh and delicious. Thinking about going there again tomorrow😄

Pros: Vegan food

Cons: Expensive but worth it

Ok

Food was good, but nothing special. The place is at the roof and really nice to sit with good background music. Unfortunately the WiFi wasn’t working.

Vegetarisch

Mexicaans eten. Quisedillas waren lekker. De taco’s niet zo. Echter de porties zijn superklein. Na twee hoofdgerechten zit je redelijk vol.

Pros: Fijne service, Tot laat open

Cons: Kleine hoofdgerechten. , Duur

Amazing burrito bowl!

Loved my burrito bowl. So fresh and tasty yet light. Big portion. Would have liked to try more items. Four of us went and we all enjoyed our meal and the cute environment. Really enjoyed chatting with the kitchen crew as well, super friendly!

Really good vegan food

When you want a break from all the curries , this is a great option. Really modern and nice vibes, set on the rooftop with fairy lights and candles. The staff were knowledgable about veganism and where able to point out the options on the menu and also suggest alternatives. We opted for the chickpea tacos and the jackfruit tacos. They also have gluten free taco option too. Really delicious and filling, we washed it down with their homemade kombucha. A lovely evening. A little more pricey than other places in the area, but very nice for a treat.

Such a hidden gem!

We stumbled upon this rooftop on the 2nd floor and had sunset cocktails one evening, then had to come back for the food. It‘s everything you wish for - great food with lots of yummy, locally sourced vegan options plus a great vibe and impeccable service. I‘d come back over and over if I could!

Pros: Amazing food, many vegan options, Great vibe, decoration, music, Open kitchen, authentic cooking
