Why June

A good meal, and a good place to have it

  • Cooked fresh, every plate

    Every dish is made to order with 100 g of protein (raw weight), at the spice level you choose: Low, Medium or High.

  • A cool, calm room

    Air-conditioned, with leather booths, a book-lined window bar and warm lamps — a welcome break from the Kandy heat.

  • Stay a while

    Board games like Uno and Monopoly to play while your food is cooked. Good for friends, families and solo study sessions.

  • Something for everyone

    Clearly marked vegan and gluten-free dishes, a halal-friendly kitchen and fair prices — fried rice and kottu from LKR 790.

    “This was our favourite spot for lunch in Kandy. We loved it so much, we visited 3 times! The waitress is super lovely and welcoming. The atmosphere is great, and we enjoyed playing uno here to escape the Kandy heat. The food was good, we really enjoyed the shakshuka, Mongolian chicken, chicken kottu, fiesta sandwich and milo shake. The Ceylon tea is great too.”

    “Really loved this place! We went to the Temple of the Tooth this morning and it was sooo hot, so finding this restaurant just a 7-minute walk away with AC was perfect 😅 The food was really good, we loved everything we ordered! The place is nice, the staff was friendly and we had a great time. Definitely recommend it if you’re in Kandy!”

    “This has been my go-to dining spot for nearly two years now, and for good reason. The menu is both delicious and incredibly budget-friendly. The aesthetic interior creates a wonderful dining ambiance, complemented by a warm and friendly staff. I love that they have board games (like Uno and Monopoly) to keep you entertained while your food is prepared. It’s the perfect blend of great taste, fair pricing, and fun!”
