Lorena

The best Cafe in Ella! the Food was amazing, everything was more than delicious. There were helpful with Celiac disease and very open to chance the menu. We chose breakfast, lunch and Dinner. They prepared the meals to go for the long Trail ride, with no extra fee. Really kind! Thank you

I went here twice and got glutened the second time. The waiter was really confused and kept giving conflicting information about whether or not something was gluten free, even though it was indicated as GF the menu. In the end, it turns out it wasn't gluten free after all… Very frustrating!

Amazing gluten free food! We had 2 matcha lattes, gf carrot cake, and the berry and tropical gf pancakes and they were all amazing. Highly recommend this spot!

Great cafe if you’re gluten free!

Sophie Wilson

Amazing restaurant - great food, affordable and large portions. Highly recommend if you are coeliac/ on a gluten free diet like myself. The owner straight away knew what was gluten free and not - out of the huge selection of rice and curries they gave us, 3 curries and the popadoms weren’t gluten free, however he pointed them out straight away and put them next to my friend who can eat gluten. Great restaurant and lovely couple that run it.

The staff, especially Chala was really nice. I can also recommend the gluten free burger and the passion fruit mojito :)

Desirée Leukel

Beautifull place with gluten free options for lunch and dessert! They offer you as much water as you want. Cozy and well decoretad with a good energy. Also a nice squirel coming often to eat banana. So funny!

Aina

They have pasta and other gluten-free options (for a fee).

Klaudia Gołda

Gluten free options, they know a lot about gluten. Everything was delicious

senuri liyanage

Their food is a solid 10/10. Would recommend this restaurant for the perfect healthy and tasty breakfast ,lunch and dinner fix. And the best part is they are organic and gluten free as well😍♥️

Do not miss out on this place if you visit Unawatuna!! Lovely chill vibes, great staff; incredible cocktails and wow, the food!!! They cater to gluten free with the most delicious gluten free gram flour wraps. We enjoyed 3 different tacos and each were a taste sensation. Huge portions and incredible flavours!!

Issy Luck

They have a lot of gluten free options here, all of the dosa’s are naturally GF. My favourite is the masala dosa!

Vivi

We visited this café every day and loved it! The food is great, with plenty of delicious Western options, and the gluten-free waffles are amazing—it's rare to find such good gluten-free options. The WiFi is fast, the air conditioning is refreshing, and the coworking space is perfect for getting work done. The waiters are incredibly kind and attentive. Highly recommend!

Malou Eriksson

Lovely restaurant by the sea, been here a couple of times and the food and service are both wonderful. They also have a lot of glutenfree options that are really good so recommend for all the fellow celiacs.

Edyta Waluch

There were locals in the cafe, but it's like a place for tourists. Prices are expensive, there's a shop with expensive trendy souvenirs and it's also globalized. I went there because I'm celiac and I saw the place on the app for celiacs. However, they are not prepared to serve people with food allergies. Despite there being many tourists, they don't have any gluten-free bread. They offered me an avocado toast without bread. Cost: almost 10 euros, but it was very little to eat. They could have offered something alternative: egg or another vegetable, but no. The bread toasts are 90% bread. Nothing out of the ordinary. I give it an average rating for trying to be Western, but for still having a lot to improve.

Linda Golob

Delicious food and gluten-free variations also available. However, the gluten-free versions are very small and expensive. Anyway worth a visit.

Archie Harris

Visited hideout on the holy full moon day - we ordered four cocktails and which did not have alcohol in them, and was charged for an alcoholic cocktail without our knowing. The food was also not good - I got the potato wedges to start which were raw in the middle. The curry was too rich which made it sickly, without the proper flavor. They were good with allergen information for my partners gluten intolerance, but the food was no where near worth the price.

Elizabeth Stockton

Amazing food, delicious coffee, beautiful views, and friendly proprietors. Food was fresh, healthy, and full of flavor. Sri Lankan curries as well as noodles and fried rice, which our kids loved. We were especially grateful that they graciously accommodated our need for gluten free food for our son with celiac. Fantastic stop!

Fiona Patterson

We ordered a variety of breakfast/ brunch dishes and each one was amazing. Great gluten free options.

Ceinwen M

We went here last night and loved it. Buzzy atmosphere despite being Mirissa/Weligama off season and great decor. Service was excellent (shout out to Samantha and Asanka, who were also very helpful with gluten free options). Drinks were very good and the Prawn Curry was amazing, one of the best we've had so far in Sri Lanka. Highly recommend.

Pavel Khalchanka

One of the few cafes that offers truly delicious coffee and a non-standard breakfast. There is a menu for vegetarians and gluten-free options

Maks Bogdanovich

I don't understand the hype around this place. We came specifically because there were good reviews and you could pack your own breakfast. But we were completely disappointed, half of the ingredients were missing, the sandwich was thinly spread with guacamole and an egg on top and nothing else - very weak and tasteless gluten-free bread. The only plus was that the pancakes were tasty but also a little dry. For such a price it’s very bad, I wanted to give it 1, but for the pancakes it’s a 2 plus. There are plenty of places around where breakfast is tastier and cheaper. Me and my girlfriend didn't like it

I ate some delicious gluten free chicken meal. Was kinda like schnitzel but more flavored. Definitely recommended

Maldivy Spolu

We had dinner here yesterday as a group of 4 friends, and we couldnt be more happy with the food that was served to us. Everything is clean, staff is professional and well trained to communicate nicely with customers, they can speak English well, menu has so many different options that everybody will find what he/she likes and prefers and most importantly there’s allergens mentioned for every meal. There are also multiple gluten free options! Perfect place, we would come again.

😁🙏 We LOVED this cute and cozy little cafe! The first time we visited we thought it was closed because the front door was lokced, however the entrance is through the bookstore that is connected to the cafe, we just had a slow moment 😂 The decor is super nice and the outside section is surrounded by beautiful nature, they have umbrellas and fans too. We choose to sit inside which was also very pleasant. I really like that its in a bookstore, it adds to the nice atmosphere here :) They have quite a few vegan options on the menu, less so gluten free options but it is possible to select something that is both which is great, the prices here are also very affordable, the food comes with very nice presentation and made with love and care. We all enjoyed our meals and iced coffee was great too. They also have a selection of sweet treats, some are vegan, some are gluten free :) The staff here were also super kind and very friendly, they really added to our pleasant experience here and we left in high spirits so thank you guys! Much love, ayubowan! Maybe we can return someday :) ❤

A wonderful tiny place between all the big touristy places in Ella. Delicious rice and curry with a wide selection of curries. We need to eat gluten free, the man who took our order knew exactly what we needed and made sure we had a safe meal.

Aisling Khuwais

We had the most delicious meal in Wasantha's restaurant. She is such an attentive chef, she came to the table and explained each dish to us. All her staff were kind and welcoming. I have an allergy to gluten and she made two delicious curries from scratch for me, gluten free. The food is absolutely amazing! We really enjoyed and would highly recommend it!

Parisa

Very nice relaxing place and nice offer for people who are both vegan and have a gluten allergy. However, the food was really not tasty. I had a cauliflower salad that was way too salty with French Fries on the side instead of potato slices and my friend had oatmeal with a whole layer of honey floating on top. They told us that the cauliflower was supposed to be salty, but I would have liked to have known that when ordering. I only now see in other photos that the cauliflower salad was not prepared correctly. And it might be more convenient to serve the honey next to the oatmeal so that you can add honey to your own taste. We paid €25 for these two dishes, a coffee and a juice. It was only possible to pay in cash, which we were told in advance.

I'm always hesitant to eat fish around here, it must be my thing, it bothers me. This is a highly recommended place to try fish dishes, the cuisine is delicious, the atmosphere is calm and the service is very friendly. Also, being a celiac, I felt comfortable because it was one of the few places where I didn't have to explain several times and I felt safe. (For those who don't know how to communicate intolerance: "piti mama ka nenè" means something like "I don't eat flour"; piti = flour, mama = me, ka enè = I don't eat)

Eyal Yatzkan

Went the extra 100 miles! My girlfriend can only eat gluten free, and she ordered the rice but it had soy in it. We paid without eating it, and the waiters + the manager couldn’t let us leave without us being satisfied. They offered to make any meal gluten free, we asked for pizza, and next day they made it especially for us from rice flour! Service out of this world. And I didn’t mention the amazing food and extremely talented singer and guitarist that makes this place magical. We fell in love.

Ella Gibb

They have gluten free options and the matcha is also so good! If I could give it 100 stars I would lol

anneli straumbotn

Fantastic place a little outside the hustle and bustle of unawatuna. It is very nice both inside the bookshop, but also in the garden outside. The food is good, they offer several options that are gluten free and vegan. The service is also incredibly pleasant. It can be highly recommended.

Martin Hoch

Great views and atmosphere on the top floor and tasty food, chef made the avocado burger gluten free by request and it was very tasty. Recommended!

Lucía D

Wonderful dosai! The staff is lovely, there are lots of gluten-free options and everything is delicious and inexpensive. We had the cheese onion masala dosa, a paper dosa and two juices, it was all great.

Larry T Hill

Nice spot, good service. Light on veg options but veg roti wrap was like a simple veg swarma with a thhiiiick roti. A heavier dose of gluten than I was planning on but theres prob a couple better options for next time.

kayla borchert

Fantastic experience. We heard about it from other tourists the day before and decided to try it out. The manager was fantastic explained the dishes, made great recommendations and we were very full at the end. Very affordable, vegetarian and gluten free options.

Macarena Fernandez-Avila

I have celiac disease and I went there because they had gluten-free options. When you arrive there is no coffee or anything to drink. He told me that the coffee maker broke yesterday, but reading comments I see that it was months ago. I ordered some bread to take with me on the last day so I could eat it in the following destinations but I almost couldn't. I left it reserved and when I arrived it had not been given to another person. Then they wrote to me that they were ready but I had to go. They offered to bring it to me, but then I saw that they charged me for delivery. They didn't even have the detail since the mistake had been theirs. Also the prices are expensive, more than European ones. I would not repeat nor recommend it

McKenzie Freihaut

Delicious food & great service! The margaritas were very tasty and we really enjoyed the tuna poke bowl. The food came out very quickly and they were really great with our gluten allergy and came out and went through the menu with us. Definitely would come back and recommend it!!

Loved one love cafe, AMAZING gluten free pizza and other food, great cocktails, pool table, good music. Good vibes all round ✌️

Ivan Procopio

Very lovingly decorated crepes restaurant. We came here to eat the gluten free galettes since I have celiac disease. They also had a gluten-free sandwich, which was even noted as such on the menu. They were knowledgeable about gluten free food and I felt very comfortable about it. The galettes were extremely tasty. The service was also very good and friendly. To recommend!
