WELCOME TO THE BEST RESTAURANT IN TISSAMAHARAMA

We are big on food and hospitality here in the Deep South of Sri Lanka, very much like rice, the staple life sustainer that brings communities and families together at each bountiful harvest. The Rice in Tissamaharama is an elegant restaurant that includes a Coconut garden and rooftop, inspired by these very traditions, coming to you from the heart of a local family who have dedicated themselves to offering the best hospitality the Hambantota district has to offer.

The restaurant is strategically located, moments away from Tissa Town making it the perfect stop to drop by for a meal on your way to spot Leopard in Yala or worship at the temples of Kataragama. Be it one meal or an entire holiday spent with us - you are bound be showered with good old fashion Lankan hospitality and great food every day. The Rice maybe a Sri Lankan restaurant at heart, but it is also versatile; many visitors from across the country and the world pass by or stay here, so we are accustomed to catering to every taste. The team of chefs work tirelessly and imaginatively as they prepare gourmet home-cooking. Traditional Lankan rice and curry, Continental food and Fusion dishes are prepared with care and passion. Fresh servings of tropical fruit, local buffalo curd and home-made caramel pudding are highly recommended finishes to any meal you have here.

Warm interiors welcome you on arrival, with a carefully curated cultivation theme to complete its look. The Rice seats 75, enabling large parties to dine here. Combined with the wider hotel it is attached to, The Rice is also a great venue for an event or workshop for organizations looking for the perfect venue away from Colombo. For in-house guests, we also recommend dining on the rooftop designed for sunrise breakfasts and sunset nibbles. For the best home cooking and gourmet cuisine, served in an elegant setting, come to The Rice at Tissa Inn when you travel to the South of Sri Lanka.
