For authentic local food in Kandy, head to the Kandy Muslim Hotel. It is an institution in the city. Do not let the name fool you, it is a bustling restaurant famous for the best samosas, kottu roti, and curries in town at local prices.

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).
