Wasantha's Sri Lanka Cuisine - Galle

Anyone who stays in unawatuna should visit this place. whether for dinner or for cooking or both, we can recommend everything. we had here the most beautiful day in sri lanka: what a loving family!

That was a very funny cooking class! We have learned a lot and made so many different types of curries and in the end we got 20 original recipes. As Sri Lankans themselves, these recipes are authentic and tastes like my mother's kitchen. We came and ate here twice before the cooking class and loved the family and talk to them every time so we decided to do the cooking class and it was one of our highlights of the trip! The family is so friendly, generous and has the sweetest dogs.

Truly magic cooking class with a truly magical family! Definitely the highlight of our trip, in addition to the 5 delicious curries meal that we got to eat at the end of the class. So much love and care went into each pot. Meals are totally customisable to your preferences and spice level. Can't recommend this authentic and traditional cooking class enough!

Excellent cookery class. We loved going to the market to select the vegetables we wanted to cook. The food was amazing. Wasantha and her family are excellent hosts and very very knowledgeable. If you are in Unawantuna I would definitely recommend this cookery class and restaurant.

After 3 weeks of rice and curry in Sri lanka we found this place and were enlighted about what rice and curry actually means: fresh veggies and fruit, creaminess and richness in flavors. It was the only time in Sri lanka we actually tasted cinnamon, cloves, cardamom in the curry even though those are the main spices in sri lanka! Wasantha (who knows how to cook over 100 different curries and will happily teach you about them in her cooking class has the greatest gift mixing the spices every curry is unique. Thanks to her, rice and curry is now part of our regular cooking routine. Don’t miss out on the cooking class. At first sight it seems a bit pricer, but you have to take into consideration that prices for vegetables have risen because of massive food shortages right now. The day we spent there cooking and chatting with the family (3 Generations! was wonderful. They are such kind people and made us feel so welcome, almost like a home away from home. They send us all the recipes, so we can cook at home. Worth every penny! What you should know before coming here: since they are offering cooking classes every day they are only offering dinner right now. Best is to text them on whatsapp before coming, because it makes sure you get a table it is easier for them to plan (right now gas can’t be bought anywhere, therefore they might run out of it at some point which would leave you hungry but if they know you’re coming, they arrange an open fireplace to fulfill your Curry wishes Don’t miss out on this place, it is a true gem! Worst part of leaving Sri Lanka is not being able to return to Wasantha for Dinner. We can’t wait to be back! PS: try the cheesecake for dessert, we loved it.
