My taste café is located near Polonnaruwa-Nawa Nagaraya Road. They offer a variety of instant and prepared meals. The place is well cleaned and maintained. Since they have a bakery oven, you can have hot bread and other bakery items in early mornings and evenings. In the evening, they serve Kottu and Fried rice which are very tasty. For lunch, you can have fried rice.

A lovely local place which serves very good rice and curry and tasty pastry. The staff is smiling and friendly and unlike most places in the city no "tourist tax" is added to your bill.

Good rice & curry and bakery. Love their butter biscuit with sugar on top - a must try. Their dhal is one of the best I've eaten in Sri Lanka. Friendly service. Very affordable price. Good place to buy bottled water.

Got a eggbun and it was good with a cold coca cola, what else can a hungry man ask for. Of course a zinger burger from the KFC would be epic but that is not in this town. So I would recommend visiting this place and say hi from me, greetings from the Netherlands
