Kandy Muslim Hotel

Top choice in Kandy


No, it’s not a hotel, but this bustling eatery offers Kandy’s best samosas, authentically spiced curries and heaving plates of frisbee-sized, but gossamer-light, flat breads. However, what people really come for are the kotthu (rotti chopped and fried with meat and vegetables), which come in a variety of styles, flavours and prices (chicken starts at Rs 220).
