Mambo's Hikkaduwa

Visited this place twice in Dec 2024 while we were staying at Hikkaduwa. Have to say the food is great. We ordered pizzas, which takes a bit longer since they're using a wood fire stove. Poke bowl, Teriyaki chicken was so tasty. The place is nice and spacious. Located next to the beach. The vibe is quite different (kind of a hippy vibe). There's a parking space too. This was a plus for us to visit this place because most of the small restaurants are located beside the road with no parking space.

The worst potato wedges we ever had. They came cold and dry like it was yesterday’s potato fries served. The burger beef was not cooked properly . . The chicken popcorn was as bland as hospital food. On complaining to the server regarding the homemade chips, we were told that the oil machine was broken. Does that mean we get old food? No compensating, nothing. The entire order of the meal was below average. Flavour less. Staff seemed disinterested in service . On top of that there was service charge added for bad food and bad service.

Such a wonderful place. A friendly atmosphere. Beautiful sunsets and yummy food. The parties are the best. The vibe there is different. A place you should we visit when u come to hikkaduwa. Live music are also the best. Live music and sunset and food give another level of a vibe. I recommend the new Poke Bowl it is very good. Highly recommended. And also there is place for kids to play.

Mambo’s is a nice hub for people. Go there for drinks and a small bite. Party is also possible and good to have a look. Food was not that special but okay for a quick bite.

Beautiful spot on the beach. Laid back vibe with live music on Friday nights. Good Food.

I enjoyed the restaurant; the food and drinks were tasty, but the service was a bit slow. Despite that, it's a great spot to hang out with friends. The only drawback is it's a tad expensive. Overall, the positive aspects, including the delicious food and inviting ambiance, make it a good choice for a casual get-together with friends.

Loved this beachfront place! Staff was incredibly friendly and chill, some of the best in Hikkaduwa. It’s a fun ambiance, they have live music twice a week and the band is incredible. Also a fantastic place to watch the sunset. Food is great too, although a bit pricey relative to other places. I would highly recommend!!

Place is lovely, decor and vibe are nice, live band was good and the food was also good. However, the food is quite expensive compared to other places in the area which are better, being honest. We did have some issues with service. food was served before we got two cans of beer, and I had to ask for them. More then likely a one off but still enough to annoy me :) **Update** We went back a few nights late as it was the only bar with music on. the service was even worse. Table next us, actually got up and left!
