Great food and very friendly staff. I really enjoyed the curry and the crab dishes - everything was delicious. The portions are generous. A special bonus is the draft beer: fresh, well-kept, and with excellent local varieties that are definitely worth trying.

We visited Green Bamboo Restaurant, first time it was so good that we forgot to take pictures. We ordered grilled chicken and some grilled tuna steak. Chicken was very good, juicy and tasty. Tuna steak was a little bit on a salty side but still very good. Mango juice is very nice. I recommend trying their local beer called Lion, pretty good taste. The vibe is good, they have a nice bar with good variety of alcohol beverages. There is two floors so you can either enjoy sitting next to a bar area or upstairs and watch the street life from the balcony. Service was nice, they took very good care of us. I can for sure recommend!

First off, I’d like to put it out there that all the local “guides” will slate this place. Reason? The owner doesn’t pay a commission to the local desperate tuk tuk drivers - of which there are many. After visiting all the places we allowed ourselves to be dragged to by the locals (see above) we decided that the Green Bamboo actually looked pretty decent - so we gave it a go. Best move of the week. We met the owner as we were having a pre food drink and he’s just an amazingly nice guy. The prices and selection surpassed everything from our first week in Kalutara and it was also used by the locals who clearly loved the place as much as we ended up doing. The food was fantastic and far too much to eat! I took four (huge) king prawns, half a crab and a tiger prawn away in a carrier bag The drinks and dessert selection were also outstanding. The decor was clean and bright and the menus were immaculate. Several places prior to this had really dog eared, greasy, falling apart menus that were frankly, grim to handle. I didn’t get the name of the owner but I’d like to thank him. What a great bar and restaurant you’ve created. This is a family run business that doesn’t allow itself to be dragged into the tourist nonsense that is rife in Sri Lanka. Do yourself a favour and pop in to the Green Bamboo. You’ll be glad that you did. Exemplary.
