Testimonials

  Amazing local food. Very good sea food. Owner took care about us. Told about local food and tradition. Highly recommended !!

  A nice place beside the river for lunch. The food like the service was wonderful and with decent sized servings as well.

  Our driver took us here because of course they all have connections to certain places.
Beautiful spot on the river, but very western menu.
My partner had chicken... read more fried rice and I had the vegetarian Sri Lankan curry (2 of the limited Asian section). Neither had any flavour or heat, very disappointing, especially for the price! I travel to countries for the authentic food just as much as for the sightseeing and cultural experience, so things like this really annoy me - just because we are white doesn't mean we don't like flavoursome spicy food! (Family are actually chilli farmers).

  We went for dinner and we loved it very much . The food was yummy and clean and fresh we ordered the seafood soup and labster and the very tasty... read more shrimps and calamari and we loved them is was soooo yummy , I recommend it for all sea food lovers ❤️❤️❤️

  Family reunion for Xmas in Sri Lanka. Ayesha was recommended by our driver. The service was lightening quick, cocktails served with panache. The storm was brewing as we ordered our... read more food and shortly after it was served it broke. Thunder, lightning and torrential rain but nothing weather wise took away the quality of the delicious food - curries, devilled prawns and dahl. The staff were attentive and polite. Finished by a new cocktail of Arrack with tamarind and soda- what a way to start Christmas!

  A most disappointing experience....Roast chicken was pre-cooked and the cost was outragious....way too expensive for average food. Do not recommend to eat here.

  Stopped here on our way to Negombo. Peaceful setting on the river. The service was excellent. Each member of the staff was smiling, friendly, and eager to please. I had... read more the jumbo prawns and lobster. Both of them were great. The number of prawns was far more than I expected. The bartender makes a great caipirinha also. Definitely recommended!

The sea food is amazing.

  Service was lovely, food was good (in Sri Lanka they have a tendency to ensure the seafood is dead so a tad overcooked)
Wonderful location on the river and reasonably... read more priced wine.

  Fish platter for one person was alot even for two. Gentle service and reasonable prices compare to quality.

  We called in for a drink on the recommendation of our tuk tuk driver. We negotiated a fantastic evening king tiger prawn meal and received excellent service to go with... read more the food. We have now arranged a return visit in 3 days time for fresh fish cooked to our requirements. All at a fair price. What more can you ask for !

  Stopped by on our way back to the hotel for lunch. Was seated right on the river front which was very pleasant, although it was expected as the place was... read more empty at 12.30pm......bit worrying to say the least. Thought the prices were reasonable as the restaurant is geared towards
western tastes. My wife had pork which was bland and chewy, however the prawn curry I had was very good. Service was okay but nothing special, very little interaction between customer and service staff. Would be more than happy to eat here again.

  The view is beautiful but the food was not good at all and the price was high in comparison with other good restaurants.

  Ayesha restaurant and pub is an averagely decorated restaurant. The food is Amazing. The staff 're friendly and Honest. We were advised to have large Prawns instead of Jumbo prawns... read more as the Large ones had 18 compared to 6 in the jumbo plate and the cost was much cheaper.
The Chicken curry is must try and the German potato salad is so well made. A great place to go and have a chilled out meal which won't burn your Pocket.
