Sharon Inn is highly praised for its exceptional dining experience, which many guests describe as the best meal they had in Sri Lanka. The dinner service features a massive home-cooked buffet with a vast array of vegetable dishes, rice, and dal, requiring advance reservations to ensure freshness. Reviewers frequently mention the warm hospitality of the owner, who often entertains guests with live music and singing after the meal. While the food and atmosphere receive glowing recommendations, the accommodation side of the business has faced criticism. Some guests reported issues with room cleanliness and readiness upon check-in, suggesting a disparity between the quality of the kitchen and the lodging. Overall, it is celebrated as a top destination for authentic local flavors and a friendly, communal vibe.
