Matey Hut Ella Sri Lanka

Unclaimed

The best thing I’ve eaten in Sri Lanka so far! We had a green bean curry, beetroot curry, pumpkin curry and aubergine curry, with chicken on the side. Every single thing was delicious. Quick service and friendly staff. Amazing value for money. Would 100% recommend!

I absolutely love this place! I’ve been coming here for every meal during my stay, and each time the food has been fantastic. They serve a wide variety of authentic Sri Lankan dishes, with spice levels ranging from low to high — I personally love their medium option for just the right kick. There are plenty of vegan and vegetarian choices, and everything is freshly prepared with rich, bold flavors. The staff are warm and welcoming - a special thanks to Daya who made every visit feel personal and enjoyable. They also offer cooking classes, which is a great way to learn how to bring these amazing flavors home. Note: During peak hours, you might need to wait in a queue — but trust me, it’s worth it. Highly recommend this gem, and I’ll definitely keep coming back!

The food here was amazing. They have a large selection of delicious veg curries. We also tried the kottu and samosas which were great. Our server was so helpful and friendly and our food came quickly.

Absolutely loved this little gem in Ella! The food was incredibly delicious — full of flavour, fresh, and clearly made with care. The prices were very fair, especially considering the quality of the dishes. On top of that, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with lovely people all around. Highly recommend — I’ll definitely be coming back! 5 stars!
