Galle has some good street food options but stick to busy stalls with high turnover. Freshly cooked is safer. Many tourists eat it fine. If stomach is sensitive, maybe start slow or stick to hotel/restaurant food first few days.
Yeah busy places are usually okay. Watch for cleanliness. I tell guests to try but not overdo if not used to it.
Scam Watch: galle
Someone befriends you and offers a "once in a lifetime" opportunity to buy gems at wholesale prices and resell them abroad for huge profit. They may show you fake export certificates. The gems are worthless glass or low-quality stones.
Restaurants without visible prices. Bill arrives with inflated charges (500 LKR coconut becomes 1500 LKR). "Service charges" added without disclosure.
