Al Habibi

4.7(17 reviews)

About

When in Sri Lanka, Al Habibi is the local business at NO 101 MAIN STREET, Bogawantalawa 22060, a hill-country settlement in the centre of the island.

Bogawantalawa sits among the tea-growing highlands, a region reached from Kandy and the surrounding hill towns. The restaurant serves diners in this small town rather than a coastal resort crowd. A 4.7 out of 5 score from 17 reviews places it among the better-regarded places to eat in the area, and two photos show the premises.

Sri Lankan meals centre on rice and curry, with hoppers, string hoppers and kottu roti as everyday dishes, so first-time visitors can expect those staples alongside whatever the kitchen prepares. The country's extensive railway network includes the hill-country line from Kandy to Ella, which passes through terrain like this.

Pidurutalagala is the highest peak in Sri Lanka, and Adam's Peak draws pilgrims who climb it in season. Theravada Buddhism is the main religion, and full-moon Poya days are public holidays. Buses serve most routes, three-wheelers cover short trips, and traffic drives on the left. English is widely used in administration and tourism across the island.
