Dulnetha Restaurant ( Shop / Cooking class / Pool ) — Restaurant in Weligama

Thank you for your response to my wife's review down below. I appreciate that you are taking our feedback seriously. However, I must say that our review was based on our genuine experience at your restaurant.

The vegetable noodles (suggested by staff) were disappointing and not really filling especially considering they were 1200 (same price as the curry rice). They need more vegetables or some protein to be that price in my opinion! However, given the amazing quality of the main dishes, I don’t think one sad dish should cost this review a star.

I would stick with the hoppers and curry, but I’ll...
