Where to eat cheap in Unawatuna?

Unfortunately, the resort of Unawatuna is arranged so that its compact tourist part is located along the beach and away from the houses of local residents. That is, it is, so to speak, an isolated tourist village, and everything that tourists need, including cafes and restaurants, is located on the main street parallel to the beach and along the beach itself. And it must be honestly admitted that food prices here are high, if measured by Sri Lankan standards. For a day's meals (if not included in the hotel) you will have to spend from 10 to 30 dollars per person, and this is without any special delicacies like crabs, langoustines, etc.

Of course, if you came here for a short vacation and are not constrained by funds, you will not notice the high prices, but if you are traveling around different places in Sri Lanka or vacationing on a budget, this difference will noticeably hit your wallet. But in fact, you can find places in Unawatuna where you can eat at the same prices as in the rest of Sri Lanka. To do this, you just need to find cafes where locals eat, and then you can eat for 2 dollars per meal, and per day, even with drinks, you will not exceed 10 dollars per person. Such cafes are located not in the center of the resort on the main street along the beach, but where the houses of local residents are located - along the main road Galle road. From the center it is about 10-15 minutes on foot. You just need to walk along the main street of Unawatuna, Yaddehimulla road, away from the beach, and you will get to Galle road, and there you will find everything. Cheaper cafes will appear already on Yaddehimulla road, and when you get to Galle road and walk along it, you will find even more budget-friendly establishments there.
