Had two wonderful dinners and a very special private cooking class experience. The food was so good that we had to learn how to make it! Very kind hosts. They went the extra mile and provided complementary fresh fruit at the end of our meals. Try number 77 and 81.

My partner and I came here after hiking Pidarangua & Sigyria first thing in the morning, after being recommended by a friend. The restaurant owner warmly greeted us and made us feel incredibly welcome, before preparing the best Sri Lankan food we’d had so far on our trip. All the food was made fresh, and the flavours and spices were exquisite. What’s more, the portion sizes were very generous as well - which was perfect after spending hours hiking in the morning! The food and atmosphere were so impressive that we came back for dinner. Thank you Liya Rest for a memorable experience ❤️

⭐️ I have only great things to say about this beautiful restaurant, amazing family, great food and good vibes all round!
😋 Good portions and really delicious taste to the food, they go above and beyond to make a good dining experience and really helped us out, even dropping us to get a bus!
🙏 We requested kiribath on very short notice and they kindly accepted! I had been travelling Sri Lanka and my family came out to visit me, it was really special to share moments in time with them and enjoy delicious food at Liya Restaurant!
🌱 The veg and curry was super and we even had fruit given to us complimentary! Vegan/Vegetarian options are available, just ask :)
😁 Thank you to the beautiful family here, we all enjoyed playing with the son who is super smart and loving! I got speaking to their son, Chathu who I really connected with and still speak to! They are building another bar so maybe one day I can return to beautiful Sigiriya and visit this great restaurant and family again! ❤️
Much love and many blessings to you. Ayuobowan

We had dinner on our last night in Sigiriya and wished we‘d discovered it earlier. The atmosphere is lovely in their open wooden hut. The interaction with the owners and the other guests was just so natural and friendly, and their food was amazing! We had the rice and curry and got fruits for dessert - couldn’t have wished for more :)

Best food we had in Sri Lanka for now, everything was so delicious, from the pineapple juice, koththu, to the CHICKEN ROTTI (so so so good). The family is adorable and extremely nice to the guests, we recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to enjoy a nice meal in a relaxing atmosphere.
P.S. - try the best milk tea in Sri Lanka:)

Food was really good, price was what it said on the menu. The owner even offered to take us to our next destination and show us landmarks for a very good price. Would come here again, recommended highly to anyone travelling through!

Great place, the best coconut sambol we had in Sri Lanka! :) The portions may be a bit smaller than in other restaurants for the price.

Such a great restaurant and so underrated!
We had the Roti Vegetable Curry and Rice Chicken Curry and awesome fresh juices. The curries were great and the Roti was so delicious! The best we have had in Sri Lanka.
The restaurant is managed only by the kind and loving family. We have been there twice and we always leave the restaurant happy!
I absolutely recommend it 👍

I had lunch at this restaurant and ordered chicken kothu and fried chicken rice. The food was okay, but nothing special that would blow your mind. Very uncomfortable seating..
