We stopped here today after our beach walk and sooooooo glad we did. Amazing food and great staff, smiling faces and perfect location. The veggie/ chilli burrito was exceptional, probably the best ive ever had and the portion of chips was large enough for the whole family. Tuna melt was perfect and all washed down with good coffee. Dont miss this place and what views ?

Absolutely delicious food! We will definitely return!! The chilli beef was amazing. We only stayed for some lunch but the evening options looked out of this world!!

At here several times during our holiday. Just up the road from where we were staying, we had coffee, lunch and dinner here! The Sri Lankan curries are incredible, very generous portions! So much so, we finished them off the next day. The chicken wrap meals were equally generous and delicious, followed by the best ice cream in Devon (Yard Farm).

Fantastic breakfast made with quality ingredients , and for a reasonable price for the products used. Wish we had realised that the cafe was there before our day to return home as the other menus looked amazing.

Absolutely the best Sri Lankan food in Croyde Bay. Great staff, friendly service and a really relaxing atmosphere with brilliant view.

Had the chefs recommendation of black pork curry and it was bloody delicious. Spicy but balanced. 5 different things to tuck into. Very good value for the generous portions provided. And one hell of a view. Visit !!!!

Perched above Croyde bay - ideally placed to grab a coffee on the way down. The bar opens from 2pm to 10pm, Sri Lankan curry nights always seem popular. Don’t expect fancy surroundings, do expect great coffee, friendly service and a great view.

Delicious okra curry, aubergine and Dahl with stunning views of Croyde bay. Star lost for the kids food. Kids meal wasn't good though as the chicken burger was plain and dry with no sauce and too many chips for children. Parking nearby and great cocktails from the hut opposite.

we enjoyed our food, 3x of baguettes and a pasty, after a walk on the beach. took 5 mins or so to prepare the takeaway. price was a little higher than i might have preferred if i am honest.

These guys are just awesome! Such hard working friendly staff and wonderful wonderful food!We’ve been going to croyde for years and last year we relocated our fav beach spot with the family to literally the other end of the beach so we could use these guys for lunch and dinner! Honestly makes for the best beach day!The variety and taste of their evening menu is something often lacking at beach side venues! Cannot wait until next year guys! Well done

We had curry here for dinner on my 35th birthday.It was absolutely pouring with rain, but we were so happy with the food that we didn't mind. The rain just made it more memorable!Highly recommended, just wish we had the recipe so we could make it ourselves at home in the North. :)

We tried all 3 curries between us one evening, a chicken, a spicy beef and a beetroot, and all three were delicious! Each curry is served with a lentil side, rice, aubergines and sambol with a little pot of mango chutney. Portions are huge! Having read another review about the best falafel baguette, we returned the next day for lunch and had that baguette which was amazing alongside other baguettes, pasties and sausage rolls! A real gem of a cafe!

What an amazing find, the curry is simply the best I've eaten in years. We also went back for burgers which were also delicious. Great service, generous portions and good value. Looking forward to coming back
