You have to leave the tourist strip of Arugam Bay and take a 5-minute tuk-tuk into Pottuvil town. Look for the local Muslim eateries near the main junction. They serve incredible Sri Lankan-style Biryani with a roasted chicken leg, spicy onion sambol, and a boiled egg. It is cooked in massive pots and usually ready by 12:30 PM. It sells out fast!

The local spot opposite the mosque in Pottuvil makes the best biryani I have ever had.

Make sure you eat with your right hand only! It is the cultural norm in the local Muslim restaurants.
