Olive Family Restaurant
About
Among Sri Lanka's restaurants, Olive Family Restaurant serves meals opposite K.F.C on Paanabokka Mawatha in Gampola. The kitchen cooks in the island's own tradition, where coconut, sambol and curry leaves flavour the dishes.
Service runs right through the week, from 09:00 until 22:00 each day. A 4.7 out of 5 average has built up from 17 reviews. That is a compact tally, so the room fills on local custom rather than on tour traffic. Booking ahead is worth arranging for a table at peak mealtimes.
Five images of the room and the food sit alongside the listing. Gampola sits in the hill country of central Sri Lanka, which is cooler and wetter than the coastal plains.
Sri Lanka is a major producer of tea and cinnamon, and Jaffna cooking uses its own blend of spices. Theravada Buddhism is the main religion, and full-moon Poya days are public holidays, so some kitchens close. The railway network is extensive, and the hill-country line from Kandy to Ella is popular with visitors. Asian elephants, sloth bears and leopards live in national parks including Yala and Wilpattu. Colombo is one nearby city that anchors most island itineraries.
