Cheap local rice and curry spots walking distance from Hiriketiya bay
8 Answers
Walk out of the bay, up the steep hill to the main Dickwella road (about a 10-minute walk). Turn right. Look for "Roti Huts" or small stalls with clay pots in the window. They serve massive, fiery rice and curry buffets for about 500-700 LKR. "Garlic Cafe" is a famous, slightly tourist-adapted local spot just on the edge of the bay that is also very cheap.
Garlic Cafe is amazing. You just pile your plate high from the clay pots and pay at the end.
Are the local places on the main road safe to eat at.
Do not drink the tap water they put on the table in the metal cups though!
Perfect, thanks. I need a break from avocado toast.
Ask for the pumpkin curry if they have it. It is sweet, spicy, and incredible.
If you rent a scooter, drive 5 minutes into Dickwella town. The Muslim hotels there serve incredible cheap biryani.
Yes, very safe. Just go around 12:30 PM when the food is hot and freshly cooked.
