Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We have been to Ella four times now and always look forward to the restaurant! Great staff, great atmosphere, delicious food and good music! We have become addicted to Sizzlers here, it is sooooo delicious! There are different versions, something for every taste! The dish is brought to the table flambéed and tastes MEGA! Respect to ZAK (serves the flambéed pan) and many thanks to him and the chef!
We'll be happy to come back!

Great place and very good food at affordable prices. We visited Ice Cube during our vacation in Ella, and got this place recommended by our Sri Lankan tour guide. The restaurant has a good variety of different dishes, from international to Sri Lanka specialties. During our visit we were served by Laheem, who was very good at guiding us and finding the dishes relevant for our needs.

Rate this place at 9/10
For Russians :
We were on the "foggy city" tour, the guide named Shan, showed the place. The guide is excellent, the place is also very delicious. They took vegetables with shrimp in the pan, the serving was fire, literally. There will be an opportunity, definitely to stop by.

A very nice restaurant in the center of Ella. The restaurant is located accros the street of the popular Chill, but is way more relaxing and less crowded. The food is very good and the prices and the prices are moderate. Make sure your order the sizzling dishes which are very tasty and are served on a hot plate at your table!

Lovely food and drinks, excellent service. Best food and best value for money in Ella. We had fish and chips, sizzling beef, beef tenderloin and sweet and sour chicken. It was all perfect. We also had several cocktails.
Ignore the more trendy places, this is the best place for food and drink in Ella. We have been here several times over the last couple of years and it is always excellent.

Situated in middle of town this is smaller than you think. They don't take bookings. The food was really good. Have a sizzling plate and husband had lump rice which is fried rice and chicken,beef or prawns wrapped and cooked in a palm leaf. Very tasty. They did serve alcohol even on a puja day but didn't have any white wine. But within 30 minutes had bought a bottle for us. Highly recommend if you want local fare thought they did have the usual eurondishes.

Veryyyy delicious cuisine. Prices are much more cheaper as in the other bars/restaurants in the region. The menu is various and dishes are very sufficient (we have had pasta and izzling with prawns as main course. Its yummy yummy). Service is excellent. Meals and drinks are served with love and creative. We recommend it for everybody (even Children from our company were happy with their meal though they are very cranky in meal)

Central place, nice design and lovely music. The food is very very tasty, also the fresh juices, and the staff is very friendly. Me and my friends consider Ice Cube even better than the most known restaurant, Chill. I hightly recommend Ice Cube for the entire experience! I just love this place in Ella.

This is one of the excellent restaurants i have visited so far. Food was great and drinks were pleasing not only taste buds but also eyes. Food and drinks are reasonably priced and it's actually worth for money you spend. Overall i love the total experience there in ICE CUBES.

For us really a great restaurant for the evening, with excellent value for money. We were there on the first day and the food and staff delighted us so much that we were there again the very next day in the evening. Front row foot-free and you really get the nightlife of Ella. Tip: Take the Sizzles… they serve it amazing!

We stopped by for some drinks, hopeful that the Man City v Newcastle game would be showing. The staff were so friendly and accommodating, and got the game up on the big screen for us immediately. We also tried some tempura prawn toast with our drinks which was delicious. Recommend for chilled out cocktails, snacks and a good place to watch sports.

Ice Cube is very welcoming and a nice environment sit and enjoy a meal. Lots of choice on the menu. The food was delicious. The only thing I didn't like is a 10% service charge. We don't mind tipping a good service but I always wonder whether a service charge goes to the people doing the work or the business.
