Gills
About
Gills in Sri Lanka occupies a spot at Canowin Arcade, Southern Expy, Henpita, close to the southern expressway corridor that links Colombo with Galle and the beaches beyond. The café holds a 3.9 out of 5 rating from 8 reviews, a modest but real record among those who have stopped by. Sri Lanka is a major producer of tea and cinnamon, and Jaffna cooking uses its own blend of spices, so a cup here sits within a long island tradition of strong, spiced flavours. The southwest and west coasts are driest from December to March, while the east coast is best from May to September, which shapes when most travellers pass this way. Colombo, Galle, Kandy, Negombo, Bentota, Mirissa, Unawatuna and Arugam Bay are all reachable along the island's road and rail network. Theravada Buddhism is the main religion of Sri Lanka, and full-moon Poya days are public holidays, so some services slow on those dates. First-time visitors should expect a straightforward roadside café rather than anything polished, with the expressway making it an easy pause between the capital and the south coast.
