Nice view, a lot of people seem to pass by. Affordable prices. We went just before they opened on a Saturday afternoon. Enjoyed the sunset till the place opened. But as soon as they opened, we were told that we must oder food even to get drinks and that drinks won't be served without a food order. When we wanted to order some sandwiches and a beer we were told Sandwiches, though on the menu, were not available. The only options were seafood items. The food was quite nice. We ate and left just before dinner service. Meal type: Other Price per person: Rs 1,000–2,000 Food: 3 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 4

The quintessential Colombo seafood experience! Beach Wadiya is a legendary spot for a reason. Don’t expect fancy decor this is a rustic, toes in the sand shack where the food does all the talking. The Food: The Baked Crab is a world-class must try, and the Hot Butter Cuttlefish is perfectly crispy. Everything is fresh, usually based on the catch of the day. The Vibe: Sitting between the railway tracks and the ocean provides an authentic, old-school Sri Lankan atmosphere. It's unpretentious and full of soul. Service: Friendly, seasoned staff who make you feel like a regular even on your first visit. Perfect for a sunset dinner and a cold beer. If you want "real" Colombo rather than a polished mall restaurant, come here. Tip: Ask for the "Roast Paan" to soak up the garlic butter sauces! Meal type: Lunch Price per person: Rs 2,000–3,000

We had a lovely evening at Beach Wadia, right on the sand with that classic Koh Lipe relaxed atmosphere. The setting is fantastic—dining practically on the beach, toes in the sand feel, with the sound of waves and a nice breeze. Perfect for unwinding after a day of island hopping. The food was pretty good overall. We went for some classic seafood dishes: the stir-fried crab with green onions in that rich, savory sauce looked and tasted spot-on—fresh crab, generous portions, and the flavors were tasty with a good balance of sweet, salty, and garlicky notes. The grilled lobster was nicely cooked, tender and flavorful with herbs and lime, paired well with the simple garlic fried rice on the side. Everything felt fresh, which is what you hope for at a beachfront place in Thailand. Service was friendly and attentive enough, though it can get busy. The little details like the crab cracker tool and the chili dip added a fun touch. That said, it’s noticeably pricey for Koh Lipe standards—especially compared to some spots on Walking Street or other beaches. The portions and quality are decent, but you definitely pay a premium for the prime beach location. If you’re after value, you might find similar (or even fresher) seafood elsewhere for less, but if you want the convenience and the view, it’s worth it for a special meal. Overall, a solid choice for a beach dinner with tasty seafood in a beautiful setting. We’d go back for the ambiance, but we’d probably share more dishes next time to keep the bill in check. Recommended if you’re prioritizing location over budget! Meal type: Dinner Price per person: Rs 10,000+ Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
