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!

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.

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 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.

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 nenĂš" means something like "I don't eat flour"; piti = flour, mama = me, ka enĂš = I don't eat)

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

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! đŸ«¶
