Kunthaville is quietly 100 % vegan, though you wouldn’t guess it from the listing. I asked the host to confirm that everything, including the watalappam, is plant-based. We visited in early May and I ordered à la carte; the curry-leaf coconut rice with its accompaniments was the best Sri-Lankan vegan dish I’ve eaten. In fact, better than anything I tried in Colombo. Sadly, the Rathu Kakulu haal (red rice) I loved in Nuwara Eliya wasn’t on the menu. The arrack cocktails are strong yet balanced and pair beautifully with the food. Owner-host Kuntha is warm, engages just enough, and makes the cosy shophouse feel like home. A must-visit for anyone who loves big flavours and plant-based dining.
