Overview

Hideout Lounge is a relaxed bar and grill at 52 Sangaraja Mawatha in Kandy, known for pizza, cocktails, and a cozy, bohemian atmosphere near Kandy Lake.

The interior has warm wooden accents and soft lighting, and listings mention several seating areas and occasional live music. The menu mixes pizza and grilled dishes with local and international flavours, and a Life.lk feature highlights the Mango Coconut Prawns and a house-made ginger beer.

Went for supper and the food was amazing! 😍 Located around the Kandy Lake, it offers a different vibe right in the heart of the city. The food options seem to cater more to tourists, and the nighttime atmosphere with music makes it even better. Interestingly, there were very few locals when we visited. A great place to enjoy good food and a different dining experience in Kandy! ✨

Great international focused restaurant. Vibe is very good and well put together. Staff is very friendly and swift. Food is tasty as well. Only downside was the pizza, but they handled this very well. They gave us free dessert and didn’t charge the pizza. That’s why I still score it 5 stars.

PWould recommend the restaurant for sure!

We were pleasantly surprised, greeted and welcomed to this atmospheric restaurant. Our waiter was helpful and cheerful, we thoroughly enjoyed the ambience and I ordered a chilli margarita while others had the cucumber lion beer. All delicious. The food was amazing and was great value for money. There is a great selection on the menu. Definitely a go to when in Kandy.

I had an excellent experience at Hideout Lounge. From the moment I arrived, the staff were friendly, professional, and made me feel very welcome. The atmosphere was warm, relaxing, and perfect for spending a great evening with friends and family.

The food was delicious, well-presented, and prepared with great attention to detail. Every dish was full of flavor, and the service throughout the night was attentive and efficient.

What truly made the night special was the live music performance. The musician was talented, and the music created an amazing vibe that perfectly complemented the lounge’s atmosphere. It added a unique touch to the entire experience and made the night even more memorable.

Hideout Lounge is a fantastic place to enjoy good food, great service, and quality live entertainment. Whether you’re looking for a casual night out or a special night with friends, this is definitely a place worth visiting. I highly recommend it and look forward to coming back again soon. 🎶🍽️✨
