Bavanishna Surendiran
"Kathir is one of my favorite restaurants in Batticaloa. The food is consistently delicious, the customer service is excellent, and the ambience is warm, modern, and inviting. One of my absolute favorites is their signature Bear Dessert—it's not only adorable but also tastes amazing. Every dish we've tried has been well presented and full of flavor. The décor is beautiful, giving the restaurant a premium yet comfortable feel, and the overall dining experience always feels special."

"Randomly found the place. The 1st impression was nice. The vibe of the place is good. Nice service from Sadees. We had a seafood Kottu and this wing combo which came with coleslaw and french fries alongside with a Mojito. Food was good and served really fast. We ordered an iced latte as well. Overall, we liked everything and are really happy to have this place in Batticaloa!"

"A usual dinner night turns into surprise. Great food, excellent taste, and friendly service. The portions were really generous, everything was so fresh especially Mojito. Absolutely satisfying and pleasant dining atmosphere. Really enjoyed the experience. Highly recommend and definitely worth trying!"

"There are meals one eats, and there are meals that eat at the memory long after... The room received us like a held breath: lamplight the colour of good sherry, opulence worn with the casual confidence of something that need not announce itself. Each dish arrived less as sustenance than as clause upon clause of flavour. The service moved unobtrusive, precisely timed. Truly extraordinary dining."
Vidmantas Naravas
"What a hidden gem! Had stopped for a coffee but seeing food, tried that, bubble tea and their combo meals. Very reasonably priced. Would recommend to anyone visiting or passing through Batticaloa."
