In-Depth Information
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; 36-38 Grand Bazaar;meals Rs 120-220; 6.30am-9pm)
Highly authentic and atmospheric old-school eatery in the market district with marble-
topped tables, wooden cabinets, swirling fans and photos of holy men illuminated by lime-
coloured fluorescent tubes gazing down on diners. The cheap, tasty vegetarian fare - do-
sas, rice and curry for lunch and light meals - is served on banana leaves and eaten by
hand.
Hotel Rolex SRI LANKAN
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; 222 2808;340 Hospital Rd;meals Rs 80-250)
On the main drag, this local eatery is usually bustling and has friendly management, a
good range of food options and 'nuts ice cream'.
Rio Ice Cream ICE CREAM
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; 448A Point Pedro Rd;ice creams & sundaes Rs 60-250; )
For a typical Jaffna treat, head to the trio of popular ice-cream parlours behind the Nallur
Kandaswamy Kovil. Rio is the local favourite, though local tastes are very sweet.
Cosy Restaurant NORTH INDIAN
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; 222 5899;15 Sirampiyadi Ln, Stanley Rd;meals Rs 240-700;
11am-11pm; )
Cosy now has two locations. This (non-vegie) branch has a lovely open courtyard seating
and subdued lighting. The big attraction here is the tandoori oven, which fires up at 6pm
daily and pumps out delicious naan bread, tikkas and tandoori chicken. The Jaffna crab
(combo with naan and a drink Rs 699) is outstanding too, and beer is available.
Green Grass INDIAN
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; www.jaffnagreengrass.com ;33 Aseervatham Ln, Hospital Rd;mains Rs
300-500; 10am-10pm; )
The garden restaurant here, with tables under a mango tree and around the pool, is a good
spot for Tamil, Indian (try the crab curry) and Chinese dishes, and also for an evening beer.
Avoid the unappealing indoor dining room.
