This was the worst dining experience I've had in Sri Lanka, and it certainly wasn't worth the price. The owner made a ridiculous claim that I wrote this review because I asked for a discount which they refused. This is a completely unfounded response to my honest feedback about their subpar, terrible food. I received undercooked mutton and completely flavorless daal. When I brought this to their attention, the response was, "it is what it is." No offense, but if you can't serve quality food, at least learn to accept feedback instead of accusing customers of trying to bargain for discounts. If you can't handle criticism without making such claims, it reflects poorly on how feedback is managed there. I genuinely hope the restaurant improves before my next visit to Sri Lanka. The owner's attempt to save face with his discount accusation was absolutely unprofessional and disgusting.

Shakila is a wonderful host at this hidden gem of an authentic Sri Lankan restaurant located in a beautifully historic building. She makes excellent dish recommendations that enhance the dining experience.

This charming restaurant is situated close to Galle Fort. The lighting creates a lovely atmosphere, and the menu is thoughtfully designed. The food was exceptionally delicious, and I want to give a special shoutout to our host, Ms. Shakila. If you're near Galle Fort, make sure to stop by for some true Sri Lankan cuisine.

We had a fantastic family meal at Amma Nissa, a highlight of our trip to Sri Lanka. The ambiance was warm and inviting, the staff was genuinely kind, and the food was outstanding. We ordered a variety of dishes to share, and each one was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The Kidu Shoruul platter stood out—it was generous and offered a great way to sample authentic Sri Lankan cuisine. The kids really enjoyed the crispy wings and fried fish, while the curries, particularly the chicken and tamarind prawn, were incredibly tasty and well-balanced. It's not often you come across a place that excels in quality, hospitality, and a true local vibe.

This is a fantastic place in Galle! We tried the lentil dhal and a vegetarian lamprey, both were tasty, with the lamprey being especially generous. The service was attentive, the ambiance was pleasant, and the decor was lovely. I highly recommend it 😊

Had the kidu shooru for 2 pax. The serving was HUGE. They don't provide wifi for customers.

Rymnas provided us with excellent service, and we enjoyed some tasty Sri Lankan rice and curry (I had the vegan option), which was skillfully prepared with jackfruit! We're definitely planning to return! The atmosphere was laid-back, and the lovely air conditioning was a nice relief on such a warm afternoon!

Incredible Sri Lankan local cuisine! I was on the hunt for egg hoppers and found them here! I highly recommend the egg hoppers, Amma chicken curry, and lamprise ❤️. Shakeela assisted us with our choices and was very welcoming.
