Vegetarian street food options in Kandy night market.
1 Answer from travellers
The street food scene in Kandy is incredibly vegetarian friendly. Look for stalls selling hot Ulundu Vadai, which are crispy, deeply savory lentil fritters studded with onions and mild chilies. You can also easily order a completely vegetarian Vegetable Kottu, where they rapidly chop flatbread with carrots, leeks, and cabbage instead of meat. Do not miss trying the sweet local pancakes called Pani Pol, filled with caramelized coconut.

TukTuk or tour drivers take you to "gem museums" or "government-certified" gem shops. They receive huge commissions (up to 40%) on anything you buy. Prices are inflated 3-10x the actual value.
Men approach tourists near Temple of the Tooth offering to be guides. After the tour, they demand large "donations" or guide fees (5000-10000 LKR).
