Yes, during the peak days of the Sinhala and Hindu New Year, typically April 13th and 14th, almost all local shops, supermarkets, and family run restaurants will be completely closed as everyone returns to their home villages to celebrate with family. However, large tourist oriented hotels and luxury resorts will remain fully operational and continue serving food to their foreign guests.
