Have visited here a few times for food, over December and march. Staff are a real credit to the Asian jewel. Food is fabulous especially the curry sharer. All reasonably priced. Good cocktails. Definitely worth a visit
Just got back home to UK after 10 days at Asian Jewel. Its run by Dale who is from UK and does a great job of making you feel at home. The staff are great and always happy to help with a smile to go with it. The pool is fab and so is the well maintained gardens. The view over the lagoon is great and there is many different birds and other animals to keep you busy all day. We asked Dale if he knew where to get dressed crab? and he said, he could sort it out for us, a couple of days later we had the best meal of the holiday at Asain Jewel, dressed crab, chips and salad, and some lovely Jumbo prawns. Highly recommend, the sunday roast was fab also. Back next year for some more, good luck to you all at Asain Jewel a well deserved 5 star rating.
This place was recommended and it didn't disappoint. Firstly the views are stunning, therefore a visit during the day is a must, it is in a quiet location, a little out of the way but easy to get to by tuk tuk, you can use the pool and sunbeds if you are eating and drinking there. We went for an evening meal, I have the shepherds pie, the portion was very generous, it was made with lamb mince and was absolutely delicious, my husband had fish and chips (real chips) again the portion was large also very tasty. We returned the next day for lunch, the food was just as nice as the evening before. I can also recommend the sizzlers which again come with real chips, all at very reasonable prices. The menu has more choice than all of the restaurants we have been in in Hikkaduwa. The staff are very attentive and always smiling, the hotel is very clean. A great place if you want to relax. We would definitely recommend.…
Spent many a happy evening dining at the Asian Jewel, as others have pointed out there is no competition when it comes to the food served at the Asian Jewel. Everything is of excellent quality, large portions and ridiculously good value for money. All salads are fresh and well presented. Staff are very attentive and pleasant. Short ride in a tuk tuk to get you there, try and get there early enough to see the Eagles soaring over the Lagoon (booking is recommended). Owner Dale is a mine of information regarding Hikkaduwa and Sri Lanka in general.
Excellent food. Menu is vast. Only place we could get a real tenderloin steak came with real chips fried onions and mushrooms good quality peppercorn sauce. Sunday Roast was also Excellent. Anything you require they will do their utmost to accommodate you can’t rate the food highly enough
Asian Jewel is the most welcoming, relaxed and stunning place we’ve been in all our travels. The staff here is amazing, and they make you feel like family. I can honestly say that we will miss them until we visit again. Love from Dennis and Rikke
Sensational food and excellent service. My top 3 favorites; Australian tenderloin steak is exceptional. Spaghetti Bolognese & garlic bread will satisfy the largest of appetites and Shepherds pie and veg will leave you feeling powerful for days. Finally, the drinks menu; Margaritas are the best in the world, and believe me when I say, I’ve tried more than you have. Asian Jewel earns my highest recommendation.
This place is a little slice of relaxed, stunningly beautiful paradise. Just five minutes in a tuk tuk from the beaches, run by a friendly, helpful Englishman, Asian Gem is a small, peaceful getaway from the party vibe of the Hikkaduwa beaches. There's a lovely swimming pool to relax in or by, gorgeous terraces with loungers surrounding and an out door restaurant area, all over looking the spectacular surrounding lagoons and tropical jungle. The food is spectacular and s far cry from the samyness of much of the beachfront grub - fancy a cracking steak, grab one here! The place is full of nice little unique touches in the decor, the staff are friendly, attentive and very well trained by Dale, the owner. I only got to see one of the rooms, as it was, unsurprisingly, fully booked on the dates I was there, bit it was exactly what you'd expect from a hotel calling itself 'boutique': sparklingly clean and tastefully luxurious with incredible views over the jungle and lagoons. Can't wait to stay here next time I visit Hikka... …
We saw this place in some blogger’s video because of food and decided to come. It’s a little bit out of Hikkaduwa center but it's definitely worth to visit. We took local curry selection and it was best local food during all our trip in Srilanka. Be patient to wait up to 1 h but you can be sure the food will be absolutely fresh cooked. While waiting, we enjoyed beautiful and tidy surroundings of garden. Extremely helpful and polite host even offered us to use their swimming pool and showed oldie music box. Fantastic variety of flavors, balance of spices and outstanding service. Special attention to every customer’s taste. This is a place for food gourmets! We really recommend this restaurant for everyone who wants to try local food in the highest level. We hope the darkest times of covid pandemic are behind and your hotel and restaurant would be full of visitors. We wish you all the best! We hope to come back next year.…
The best food we found in Hikkaduwa, everything we tried was amazing, fresh and delicious. No traffic noise and a short drive from Hikkaduwa town. Variety of dishes offered, book or call in advanced to check out unique menu options for the day. We had both western and Sri Lankan style items, delicious cocktails, drinks and desserts.
