"I visited this place to pick up some food for our post-election celebration, and I was pleasantly surprised! The prices are quite reasonable, and the food is delicious. I especially loved their naan—it’s probably the best I’ve had in a while. The curry portions are generous, easily enough for three adults to share. Both the vegetable curry and paneer were fantastic. Plus, it's a great spot for families, with plenty of activities for kids, like merry-go-rounds, seesaws, jumpers, and more. Definitely a wonderful spot to enjoy with everyone!"

"Being a Karachian.. we are always ready for Indian foods. While tired of Srilankan curry.. we tried this restaurant.
We ordered Butter chicken, Quorma/ Korma, and Tandoorii chicken.
Among all of them, Butter chicken was the best meal. Further, the ambience and service are both good."

The Best of Galle Fort – Sri Lanka For 91 Days
For Food: Indian Hut – Yes, they may have brazenly ripped off the name and logo of Pizza Hut, but I hate that restaurant, so this counts in their favor. You’re not going to find a cheaper or tastier meal anywhere in the otherwise overpriced fort. With its great upstairs location looking out over the southern ramparts, a menu packed with Indian and Chinese favorites, and down-to-earth prices, we found ourselves at Indian Hut over and over again.
Where to Stay & Eat in Galle 🍛 Sri Lanka
The good news about Galle is that there’s an excellent restaurant close to the lighthouse called The Indian Hut. This relaxed Indian restaurant makes mouth-watering Mutton Masala and Chicken Tikka Masala, as well as delicious fruit lassies, all at reasonable prices. Following a trip through Sri Lanka, this distinctive type of cuisine makes a nice break from the ubiquitous Sri Lankan rice and curry.
