What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
The Bake House Kandy is praised for its excellent customer service and unique historical ambiance, offering a journey into the city's past. While many enjoy the delicious food and fair prices, some find the food to be on the expensive side, and a few have experienced slow or incorrect service.
"The atmosphere and the staffs are very friendly. It is good that service charge is clearly mentioned on the menu and staffs won’t ask you for tips. Many other places in Kandy will always try to ask for tips from foreigners. Vintage atmosphere is simply fantastic and food is delicious. Highly recommended."

"Welcoming staff, even the ground floor is a bit old looking and a bit dark. You can choose an upstairs more modern touch and less crowded. Even the food quality is 👍. Worthy for the money you pay .. I took chicken biryani family potion for 5.."
Fredric Mershalin
"Hottel is a charming place that truly stands out for its excellent customer service and its historical ambiance.
The only downside is that the food is a bit on the expensive side. While the quality and presentation are excellent, the prices might make it a less frequent choice for budget-conscious diners."
