Hotel de Uncles

Best place in Ahangama. Cocktails are awesome and the food is incredibly tasty. We came twice and will keep coming before departure back home. They have happy hour from 4pm to 6pm!! Incredible views! Also, the place deco is like being in a Wes Anderson movie. Love the place! 100% recommended.

I’m gonna be thinking about this place til the next time I come to Sri Lanka. It’s a little hidden unless you go through the beach side, but do whatever you have to, to find it. We got some classics including the mutton rolls, cheese sambol toast and hot butter cuttlefish and these were probably some of the best dishes we’ve had in Sri Lanka, coming from a Sri Lankan. The rolls used a mutton curry mixture with the perfect ratio of gristle to meat , the cheese sambol toast is a classic coconut sambol served on toast with melted mozzarella on top and the hot butter cuttlefish is one of the best I’ve had. The drinks were also excellent however they could do with a bit more alcohol.

Came here for drinks and felt like we were at THE spot in town - cocktails were absolutely delicious and very Sri Lankan (I ordered the Pandan twice). Vibes were very fun, and the set up and decor was gorgeous. Staff really knew how to take care of us, constantly checking in which we appreciated. Only thing is, when it gets busy, you have to be a little patient with your order!

Cool space but disappointed with their Crab. I had seen the other dishes coming out and the looked good. Decided to order their crab and when it came out it was very obvious that the crab had gone bad. There was barely any meat left, what was left was incredibly slimy and had no strength. Fyi I have enjoyed crab throughout Sri Lanka and elsewhere in the world so when I raised this with the staff and they said it’s just how the crab is here I called bull. We picked through it but didn’t end up eating any. We went to ask for the bill as I couldn’t be bothered fighting with the staff and eventually they apologised and said that’s just how crab can be, sometimes it’s bad. The way the crab is served they would have been able to tell this prior to serving but served it anyway. They made no offer to cook another, cook a different dish or a partial refund. Wouldn’t recommend. I know this can happen anywhere but when you’re selling a premium dish and that dish is bad then how you conduct yourself and represent the restaurant after that matters.

Nice bat with good food, tasty drinks and sometimes live music. You can always get a table there, because they sit you with other people. Not good for introverts, but we loved the opportunity to connect with other travellers.

If we had more time in town, we would have gone here for every single meal. Our food was so good I literally said “Wow” reactively after my first bite. The Mutton Rolls and Hoppers were outstanding! Definitely get them with the pork curry. On top of that, our service was fantastic. Everyone was incredibly nice and welcoming, and we even got to hear live music from the stage next door. Pair that with a gorgeous beachfront venue and this place is a must for anyone’s visit to Ahangama.

What a place to savour food and drinks right by the waves! Beautiful ambience and delicious food. Tried their hoppers and Barramundi which is a specialty here, which were tasty. Pathum the person at the restaurant was of great help in selecting dishes. Great place to unwind.

Nice colorful vibey place. Serves some great oysters and draft beers. Great for all times of the day, be it day drinking or sundowners. The music is great too!
