A Delightful Culinary Experience in the Heart of Nuwara Eliya Mariners Restaurant exceeded all our expectations! The cozy, warm ambiance combined with the elegant decor made it the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring. The menu offered a fantastic selection of both local and international dishes, and every dish we tried was absolutely delicious. The seafood, in particular, was fresh and flavorful — a must-try if you're a seafood lover! The staff were attentive, friendly, and genuinely eager to make our dining experience memorable. The location is perfect, with easy access from the town center and a lovely view that adds to the charm of the place. The restaurant's attention to detail and commitment to quality truly set it apart. Highly recommend Mariners Restaurant for anyone visiting Nuwara Eliya — it's a hidden gem that shouldn't be missed!

We came to eat around 4pm and then got to know the kitchen closes at 4pm. But they opened the kitchen and let us dine in. Really good service and amazing food with a good view of the lake Gregory

A truly amazing and peaceful place. We had dinner here, and every single dish was unbelievably delicious.especially the cheese pasta and pork stew. The staff were extremely friendly and provided excellent service. All the food was offered at very reasonable prices. What surprised us was that there were not many customers in such a wonderful restaurant.maybe because it is located a little away from the town. If you are visiting Nuwaraeliya this is definitely a restaurant you must visit.
We discovered this charming lakeside restaurant by chance and were warmly welcomed by all staff, despite it primarily serving military personnel. While they don't serve alcohol to civilian guests (the only minor downside), everything else was excellent. The establishment was **spotlessly clean** – as you'd expect from a military-run venue. The **lush gardens** provided plenty of space for our toddler to explore, all the way down to the scenic lake. We spotted well-cared-for horses and other animals tended by personnel, adding to the peaceful atmosphere. With its **serene lake views**, spacious grounds, and delicious food, it made for a perfect family lunch spot. A truly unique and well-maintained place where you can feel the pride of military hospitality!
