I spent several weeks in Ella, ate at this restaurant over 20 times, and had a wonderful meal every time. I tried every other restaurant in town and many of the guesthouses. Jade Green is the best by a huge margin. If you’re in town for two nights, eat there twice! In a ten week Sri Lanka trip I never... More

We booked a banquet with a family we had met on our travels at Jade Green hoping that we would experience traditional curries and not the tourist version served elsewhere. We were not disappointed - each dish was delicious and only wish we had have found this restaurant on our first night in Ella!!! More

We ordered rice and curry, and it was obvious the rice was a day old, and cold. The curries were bland even though we asked for "Sri Lankan spicy"--why didn't they believe us? surely we know what we want. On the menu was "lemu rice", which for 300 extra rupees was supposed to be one better on the plain old... More

We stumbled into Jade Tea Centre after having a few beers at the Ella pub...we could hear the fresh food being chopped in the kitchen while we supped on ice cold beers, sitting on the balcony. The wait was long but our meal there was hands down our best in Sri Lanka. AMAZING. More

We discovered this restaurant, located above the Bank of Ceylon, on our first night in Ella and we came back every evening to enjoy the fresh and refined cuisine of the owner. We had not ordered in advance, as requested, and waited for one hour for our recipes but it was worth it, for sure! We tried a pumpkin and... More

Went for dinner in Jan 2012, could have sat inside but sat on the balcony - away from the dusty main road. It was raining slightly but we were still dry. One of us had the Sri Lankan dhal curry with sting hoppers, the other the Bryiani and we both finished with buffalo curd and honey. Delicious and tasty ,... More
