Beach Wadiya

If you want delicious, no-frills wholesome seafood fresh from the coast / boat catch, then Beach Wadiya is the place to be. We were treated to a delicious seafood dinner of dishes cooked simply, keeping the original flavour of the dishes intact (instead of piling it with a lot of sauces and oils!). We had the Prawn Soup, 2 portions of Oysters with lime and a dash of hot sauce (yum!), 1kg grilled whole fish (from the day’s fresh catch), and a salad as an accompaniment.👏👏 Service and cleanliness was very good. Washrooms are quite alright. However they need to work on ambient lighting, do something about the cats who try to climb on chairs (!!), and maybe add some light music to enhance the mood. 🙂 Would be good to add some hand sanitizer to the hand washing area in addition to soap as well. My husband and I loved the food so much that we went back with family within a week!

I had seafood soup and fish fillet with mashed potato. Both dishes tasty, but extremely small portions. I got oysters and I didn't like them. Too bittersih. It's laid back atmosphere. But they could clean their part from garbage. Looks filthy. The waiter should gain more language skills. It is pricey the quality of the service. Do not recommend.

Such a disappointment. We went over for dinner. The wait was so long! Over an hour. The food was absolutely awful! So salty! You can’t eat anything! Every single dish was salty. Even after complaining that the food was not good, there was no manager to be seen. When asked the waiter for the manager he said he’s only there during afternoons. Then asked the cashier who claimed to be the manager. They re-served the fried rice, a prawn dish and kangkung which was comparatively less salty yet not up to restaurant standards and was still so bad. When the second set of prawns came in, they weren’t cleaned. Disgusting! Wouldn’t recommend to anyone who has tastebuds.

Just great. Super fresh seafood, good service. Very good value for money. Thanks for having us!

Had dinner at Beach Wadiya, Colombo and loved it. Tried the oysters, devilled fish, and grilled prawns — all super fresh and full of flavor. Cool vibes and awesome beach views. Definitely worth checking out if you are into seafood.

The view from this restaurant was breathtaking and staff was very kind. We weren’t very happy about fried seafood, but oysters were delicious.

From the road Beach Wadiya looks run down, but cross the train tracks, and you a get warm and friendly welcome from the staff. We just wanted to grab a sunbed and have a few drinks, beers were cold, lime juice fresh and sweet and the view is to die for. We didn't eat this time but the food that came out from the kitchen looked and smelt lovely and no one was complaining. The beach was clean and tidy which was a bonus.

From the outside, the restaurant doesn't look like much, but choose a table on the beach and enjoy a nice chilled Lion lager while enjoying the cool sea breeze. The waiters will bring out the days catch still fresh on a platter for you to choose and decide how you want it cooked. The food was fresh and delicious and I highly recommend you try this restaurant if you are in town.
