Great and really delicious meals - It was the best rice curry I had in Sri Lanka! The cooking class was really great and the cooks super nice. The food is quality and the quantity was huge only for 2. I recommend 100% this experience if you are visiting Sigiriya (especially when it rains for example and we can not get out)
