I recently visited Waters Edge “Thuna Paha” Sri Lankan restaurant upon a recommendation. I was excited about their personal buffet concept and my expectations were exceeded.
(This is going to be a long review because Thuna Paha really deserves this! ❤️)
From the point of...placing the reservation I had a good feeling about this place. I simply wanted to know a few words about the concept but the manager who I believe I was talking to gave a thorough explanation of the whole buffet concept and safety procedures followed. I was very much impressed.
The day of the dinner, our server (who unfortunately I couldn’t get the name of) gave us a great brief about how the food will be served and took great care of us. The head chef of Thuna Paha was very attentive towards the guests (not just our table), inquiring and serving us food hot off the stove.
(Loved the milk hoppers which he recommended.)
The food tasted pure Sri Lankan and it was amazing.
The service was just perfect.
The view and the vibe couldn’t get better. You get a perfect view of the lake and the smooth breeze coming off the lake felt so good with the open hall dining.
📍On a special note, my partner wanted Waters Edge to arrange a cake (without me knowing) since it was my birthday dinner with my parents. Although Waters Edge has informed that arranging a complimentary cake is not practiced at Thuna Paha restaurant, after requesting the Manager (Mr. Wincent) to somehow make it happen, he actually pulled it off. The staff came to the table from three directions and ACTUALLY surprised me with a cake.
I can’t thank enough to the manager and the restaurant staff for going a little beyond what they’re required. Even though I only ate a slice off the cake, it meant so much to me.
Thankyou, you’re little extra commitment and service standards went a long way and I hope this message is received by the Manager (Mr.Wincent) and our server on the 16th of December for the reservation which was made under my name.
Thankyou again❤️
P.S. Hope y’all can make a small Sri Lankan style arrangement for such occasions because special days need to be celebrated, and trust me it goes a long way.More
