Stalk us, don’t be shy — we’re always up to something!
Sri Lanka’s gift to the seafood world.
There are curries… and then there’s the Sri Lankan Crab Curry. A full-contact, roll-up-your-sleeves kind of experience. Big, brash, and unapologetically messy - this dish isn’t just food. It’s a ritual. And it belongs on the global seafood throne.
From the fiery Jaffna-style with its peppery punch, to the Aluthgama-style with coastal sweetness and cinnamon bark, to the salty-spicy-creamy madness of Puttalam-style - every region in Sri Lanka has found its own delicious way to do justice to the crab. Ask any Lankan family and they’ll swear their version is the best. And we love that.
Here at Hotel de Uncle’s Ahangama, we do it our way. With messy fingers, a lot of love, and no apologies. Come with a bib, or don’t. Just bring your appetite.

At Hotel De Uncle’s, we know everyone’s haunted by something. But Aunty Agnes... her ghosts have style.
This old photo? That’s her, back in her golden days in Haputale. Young, sharp, already seen too much. And the man in the mirror? That’s him. The young lover with the fast car and the tragic ending on a misty mountain road.
They say on Poya nights, he still shows up on the gravel driveway of her bungalow, just staring up at her window. Not rattling chains. Not making noise. Just... waiting.
So, Agnes comes south. She comes to Ahangama. Because the sound of the surf is louder than a memory, and a strong arrack at Uncle’s is the only exorcism that works.
Happy Halloween. We’ve all got our haunts. Come drink to yours.

You don’t master an egg hopper. You earn it.
A rice flour cradle, thin as gossip, crisp like a seaside breeze, with a golden yolk sunken in its centre, it’s not breakfast, it’s a ritual. Made in a pan older than your last relationship, on firewood or busted gas stoves, by hands that don’t follow timers, they go by sound, smell, and instinct. One second too long and it’s a burnt offering. But when it’s perfect? It’s sublime.
At Hotel de Uncles, we serve the hopper with reverence. Because this is Sri Lanka’s quiet gift to the world, a dish so simple, so precise, it humbles even the loudest appetites. Come hungry. Come curious.

🌀 Old Ceylon. Still Blowing Strong.
Before machines started doing all the talking, there was this, A basket of rice. A homemade fan. And a farmer who knew exactly how to let the wind speak.
This was Wee Hulan Kirīma -a beautiful old Ceylon technique of wind-sifting rice. Toss it just right and the breeze would separate the grain from the chaff. No factory. No fancy gear. Just rhythm, skill, and a bit of island ingenuity.
We found this moment buried deep in the heart of Ahangama.
And honestly, it reminded us of who we are. Simple. Practical. Proud.
The rice might be polished now, but the stories still have husk on them.
