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!

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.

I have allergies to peanuts and am celiac. They were able to cater well and I had the chicken and mushroom. Atmosphere is cool and drinks were good. Club was cool too!

Kate McCallum

Nutritious, clean and healthy menu - perfect for vegetarian, coeliac and people with allergies. We visited three times- breakfast, lunch and a takeaway for dinner! I have a range of health issues and they were amazing at adjusting my monk bowl to suit what they had on offer and what I could eat. Needless to say this was my “go to” item on the menu. Hubby had three different meals- hummus toast (the avocado in the pic is a gift from my monk bowl!), meatballs, and breakfast roti - all superb with generous servings. Chilled chai Marsala was delicious. And Americano coffee strong with a well rounded flavour. Set in a garden, it’s a great air filled open space. They have fans to try to beat the heat. There is a clean washroom and lots of magazines and books. Service was amazing. Just a delight to come here. Thank you so much 🙏🏼

Great gluten free pasta!

Klaudia Gołda

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

Ewan Ryan-Atkin

Great for gluten free or coeliacs

Sophie Wilson

Highly recommend visiting this restaurant if you’re in Ella. We came multiple times throughout our stay and each time received great food and great service. For those who are on a gluten free diet/ or coeliac like myself, I also recommend coming. Gluten free is marked on the menu, they also have gluten free pasta and are very aware of cross contamination. My non gluten free friend said the pizzas are amazing! I can vouch for the gluten free fungi cream pasta- very yummy. Thank you especially to Chama for the great service

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!!

the dosa is gluten free. great to try something different. they are like a savoury pancake. good vegetarian options too

Libby Clark

A lovely welcome, nice atmosphere and very professional staff. Ajith was very helpful and personal to us. Lots of vegan options and a whole gluten free menu! £70 for three very full adults and a bottle of great wine

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.

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!

Tori Page

Great food with gluten free options. Clearly very popular as was very busy!

Adam Duke

We had brunch at Salt House and it’s awesome! Open early and the only really good gluten free options in Hiriketiya that we’ve found so far! We had the gluten free waffles and the gluten free burrito bowl! So good! Coffee and chai lattes were on point. Great wifi, great service. Salt house has done a lot with its space and you can tell the owners care about their guests. Thanks for being a bit of a calming haven in the chaos of beach front hiri!

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.

מאיה לויטן

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.

Rime Moustafa

I have celiac disease (very sensitive gluten allergy). I ordered a poke with very simple ingredients (no sauce, toppings and chose zoodles as a base to be extra safe). Nainda was very helpful and kind, he made sure the kitchen staff took care of cross-contamination.

Danny van den Heuvel

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.

Christopher Fernando

Super venue! Food and Cocktails elite. Staff excellent and looked after our Gluten Free dietary requirements, which is difficult in SL.

Jochen Burlefinger

Nice little and cheap family-run restaurant. We went there for dinner twice and enjoyed it every time. Since I have to eat gluten-free, I had my “please to the chef” card with me. The boss obviously knew about it, and I didn't have any problems after either meal. The drinks cooled with ice cubes were - upon request - also in the bottle and not from the tap; we had no (stomach) problems (it was our first evening in Sri Lanka). We can definitely recommend the small restaurant (cheap prices!)!!

Meaghan Cameron

The cool open room layout with plants first caught my eye, and their cocktail menu as well. Stayed for. Some food and everything we ate was delicious. The secret garden salad 🤤, had gluten free dishes as well.

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.

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.

Shiffy Nayar

There was no menu but friendly and very helpful staff helped us to order the gluten free options. We had the string hoppers with the vege side dishes and the chicken curry. The meal was delicious and the service was great. Highly recommend if you're looking for an authentic Sri Lankan food experience with friendly locals.

After arriving at the airport, we took advantage of the property's offer to pick us up from the airport (15 USD). That worked smoothly, the driver contacted us via WhatsApp (there was free WiFi in the airport itself). The accommodation itself was good, not outstanding, the price-performance ratio was right! The hosts are extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms are functional. I had requested a gluten-free breakfast in advance. The breakfast itself was very rich and actually gluten-free. My wife had a different (gluten-containing) breakfast. All in all, we can recommend the accommodation!

Jonas Olsson

Had breakfast here. Best place by far for breakfast in Hiriketiya. Tortilla Española, Rosti - decent gluten free options. Great coffee. Expensive but worth 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!!

Kajsa Andreasson

We stayed for one week and had the most wonderful time! The space is beautiful with a really relaxed vibe, and rooms were also very cute and clean. The food was amazing as well as the coffee. I am vegetarian and my friend is gluten intolerant and there were no problems at all with getting equally delicious food! The communal dinners were super good and a really good way to get to know the other guests. We booked the surf and yoga package and loved both the surf lessons and the yoga sessions. The video analysis of the surf sessions was also very useful. There was a really nice and relaxed vibe at the camp, and Milan, Becci and the rest of the staff really made us feel at home. There was a nice mix of guests in terms of age etc and everyone was in general very friendly and easy to get to know. We really don’t have anything to complain about and we can’t wait to come back soon! Thank you Ocean Tribe for a truly fabulous week! 🫶
