Restaurant History
known not just for its delicious cuisine but also for the memories it creates
Nestled in the heart of Negombo, Sameeha Hotel began as a modest family-run eatery with a passion for warm hospitality and authentic Sri Lankan flavors. Founded in the early 1990s, the restaurant started as a small roadside kitchen, serving hearty home-cooked meals to travelers and fishermen along the bustling coastal town. Over the decades, Sameeha Hotel has evolved into a beloved local landmark — known not just for its delicious cuisine but also for the memories it creates. With recipes passed down through generations, our dishes celebrate the vibrant spices, seafood, and traditions of Negombo’s unique culinary heritage. From humble beginnings to a bustling dining destination, we have always believed in combining fresh, locally sourced ingredients with heartfelt service. Whether it’s a family gathering, a business lunch, or a quick stop after a day at the beach, Sameeha Hotel continues to serve with the same warmth and dedication that defined us from day one. Today, we are proud to be more than just a restaurant — we are a part of Negombo’s story.

Sameeha Family Restaurant offers exceptional service and serves delicious food. They offer a variety of rice dishes and Kottu, including Thai, Mongolian, Chinese, and more. One portion is sufficient for 2-3 people. The restaurant has ample parking space and provides a comfortable environment for family gatherings.
Great food, wide variety of selection.The service is slow. There is a parking space. They accept cards. The restroom is okay but only one and it's inconvenient as it's occupied usually.
The best restaurant so farWe had Kottu. Besides the very tastefull dishes and cold served juices the personal/staff is extremely kind and friendly. They take the time to explain about the dishes. Prices are very reasonable. I would recommend this restaurant!
