Maheshee Home Restaurant — Restaurant in Sri Lanka

My partner and I went here six days out of our seven-day stay only because we didn't find it on our first night. We went to three different places in the local area, and this is by far the best. It's also one of our favorite places we've eaten during our month in Sri Lanka. I honestly can't recommend this place enough. But, as always, if you like it spicy, don't forget to mention this, and they go all in on the flavors.

My partner and I both have very restricted dietary requirements and the host was very obliging in preparing food we could eat. We had lovely grilled seasoned chicken with homemade BBQ sauce and boiled vegetables. We spoke to the father while we waited for our meal. He told us stories about his experience of the 2004 Tsunami.
