La Mensa

It was a halal resturant and served us the best plates of food we had in Sri lanka. A wide range of dishes were on offer and the quality of service was excellent.

Some of the best food we have had in whole of Sri Lanka. Group of 6 came back twiceVegetable curries were incredible. Devilled chicken also amazingCheap and cold beerOwner and staff all incredibly friendly

We ordered Mutton Curry and Kottu. Both dishes were very delicious and portions, as you can see - very big! Come here to enjoy local cuisine, nice atmosphere and good service! Thanks to our waitress Amila. Definitely a place to return.

We had a tasty meal at La Mensa. Caters well to vegetarians. Our waiter Shalika was both professional and friendly. Highly recommend. Would 100% go back if we had more time. Atmosphere is also goof. Nice and breezy on second floor.

This place can be found in Ella town.The prices are reasonable. They have an upstairs area also for dinning.Each portion is sufficient only for one person. They mistakenly gave us one meal incorrectly but quickly ensured to prepare and provide to us without making any fuss even though we our locals and they need to focus their business on tourists.

Very very good vegetable curry. Some dishes in the curry change from day to day so you can come more than once and be fully satiated. Devilled chicken contains the most chicken I’ve had in the last three week.

During my stay in Ella, I ate at the restaurant La Mensa, and I was genuinely impressed. The food was incredibly delicious — especially the Rotti, the banana leaf curry, and the Kottu really stood out. The ingredients were fresh, and it was clear that the team values quality.The service was equally remarkable. One evening, Sri took care of us, and on another evening, unfortunately, I didn’t catch the name of the server. However, both were extremely friendly, attentive, and created a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. We felt very welcome and well taken care of.The prices were fair, especially considering the portion sizes and the quality of the food. I can highly recommend La Mensa to anyone visiting Ella and looking to enjoy authentic Sri Lankan cuisine. I would come back anytime!

This restaurant is a fantastic find in Ella! The food is excellent, and the service is friendly and welcoming. But what really makes this place stand out is the prices—they are lower than in other restaurants in the center of Ella, making it a great value for money.My favorite dishes were the banana leaf-wrapped curry, which was full of rich flavors, and the fish in curry sauce, which was perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious.If you’re looking for great food at a better price, this is the place to go. Highly recommended!
