Great experiance! - Great experience! We took the classes and it was a great idea! We started with going to the fish market in order to select the fish for the cooking (we ended up selecting calamari), and next we turned to the vegetable market. After that we got back to the restaurant and started the cooking lesson part. It was very interesting and fun. We got to know many interesting recipies and will try them again at home for sure! The lady chef is very nice and friendly!
We Highly recomend to take the classes if you are in Unawatuna and want to spend time learning sth new!

Amazing experience with friendly atmosphere! - It was amazing time! We started with fish and fruit markets in Galle (transport is included). Next - the class itself - pure pleasure. Detailed information about ingredients, great info about „magic” mixes of vegetables, spices, rice, fishes and other seafood. Cooked curry - amazing! Plus the owner - amazing and warm person. After class we stayed a little bit longer just to chat. We are very grateful for that experience!

Culinary delight for the kids - We had three adults and three children 8-10 and Susanthi made us feel amazingly welcome, giving us a full tour of two local markets explaining everything about the fish and vegetables we didn’t recognise from back home. She took charge of the kitchen and gently taught the kids some useful cooking skills. She tactfully worked out which the kids wouldn’t eat so she could go to town with chilli for the adults.
In the end the kids were super excited to enjoy the fruits of their labour in the lovely restaurant. Lovely to meet Susanthi’s family too. Gorgeous venue too!

Awesome experience! Thanks for the cooking lesson and for the tips. Will come again - The Sea waves cooking class was a phenomenal experience. It started with a trip to the Galle market where we baught fish and then some vegetables. The we went back and spent almost 2 hours discovering and learning how to cook those items in an authentic Sri-Lankan way. The class was hosted by Susanthi and I would totally recommend this if you're in the area.

Restaurant food & cooking class - Had to do a cooking class on my last day as I have been enjoying the curries and wanted to try to make at home. So glad I pick sea waves as the owner was the most amazing host & I really enjoyed the cooking, so welcoming and friendly. Took us to the local fish and vegetable markets to buy the ingredients in the morning and we even got to pick what vegetables we would like with good advice what foods would complement each other.
We made a total of 5 vegetable dishes, 1 chicken curry and the rice, all AMAZING flavours.
The best Sri Lankan food I have eaten, so happy I have the recipes and knowledge to take home!Highly recommend the restaurant for a meal or the cooking class! Thank you! 😁

Amazing - The cooking class was amazing. We started by going to choose our vegetables for the local markets. And then in return we started the washing and prepping of the vegetables which we then make 5 different types of vegetable curry’s along with a chicken curry and a rice. Once you have cooked all of the above you then sit down and eat them all for a lovely meal to finish off the class.
The owner is very condition for any dietary requirements
