What are Restaurant Two's opening hours?

Restaurant Two is open every day of the week from 6:00am to 11:00pm, Sri Lanka time. That covers breakfast, lunch, dinner and late takeaway. On public holidays and during the April season in Nuwara Eliya it is worth calling +94 71 084 6000 first, just to check before you travel.

Where is Restaurant Two?

We are on Race Course Road, by the racecourse in Nuwara Eliya town and a short walk from Gregory Lake. Google lists the address as Race Course Road, Hatton 22000, and the plus code is XQ7C+3W. Look for the big red TWO sign and the red truck with the black-and-red dining car.

What kind of food does Restaurant Two serve?

Sri Lankan food first: kottu off the hot plate, rice and curry, fried rice and Mongolian rice, noodles and soup. We also cook pasta, crispy and BBQ chicken, fried fish, prawns and hot battered mushrooms, with watalappan, fruit salad and ice cream for dessert. Our menu has a clear Asian twist throughout.

What is kottu?

Kottu, or kottu roti, is Sri Lanka's favourite street food. Flat godamba roti is chopped on a hot iron plate with two blades, then stir-fried with vegetables, egg or meat and spices. You hear it before you see it. Chicken kottu is the dish our Google reviewers mention most often at Restaurant Two.

Do you do takeaway?

Yes. Every dish on our menu can be packed to take away. The quickest way is to call or WhatsApp +94 71 084 6000 with your order and a collection time, or build your order on our Menu page and send it to us on WhatsApp in one tap. We will confirm it straight back.

Can you cater for large groups and tour parties?

Yes. Groups are a big part of what we do, from school trips to official tours and family parties. One Google reviewer notes we can easily serve more than 100 people at lunch. Call or WhatsApp us with your date, arrival time and headcount, and we will plan the menu and seating with you.

Do I need to book a table?

For couples and small families, you can usually just walk in, although calling ahead on busy weekends and holidays saves waiting. For groups, tour parties and buffets, please always book by phone or WhatsApp on +94 71 084 6000, so the kitchen and tables are ready when your coach or cars arrive.

Is Restaurant Two wheelchair accessible?

Our Google Business Profile lists wheelchair-accessible seating. The covered dining hall is on the ground level, while the truck dining car is reached by steps. If someone in your party uses a wheelchair, tell us when you call or book and we will keep a suitable table in the main hall for you.

Do you have vegetarian options?

Yes. Hot battered mushrooms, French fries, potato chips, fruit salad, watalappan and ice cream are on the menu, and rice and curry always comes with vegetable curries. Many of our rice, noodle and kottu dishes can be cooked without meat or fish. Just tell us when you order and we will guide you.

Is there live music at Restaurant Two?

Live music and karaoke come up often in our Google reviews, and many guests come for the evening atmosphere as much as the food. The programme changes, so call or WhatsApp +94 71 084 6000 on the day to ask what is on tonight and to save a table near the music.

What is watalappan?

Watalappan is a classic Sri Lankan dessert: a baked or steamed custard of coconut milk and eggs, sweetened with kithul jaggery and spiced with cardamom and nutmeg, often topped with cashews. It is rich, smooth and not too sweet, and it is the traditional way to finish a rice and curry meal.
