Hotel Rolex at Jaffna

Today's lunch was at hotel Rolex, one of the famous nonveg restaurants in Jaffna. Located at hospital road, just next to central bus stand.

I opted for fish meal(140LKR), while my travel companion ordered prawns buriyani(that's what they say) which costs 300LKR.

Fish meal had good amount of white rice with 3 veggies and an ayila fish fry. Only a garlic based gravy was served. Ayila fish was fresh and nicely cooked. As I was hungry, I had completed the meal. Otherwise, I may not as the rice was too big, and the accompanied gravy was not that good. No rasam was served for the meal. Had to complete the meal with garlic gravy and veggies like "ponnanganni" keerai, koothu and avarai poriyal. Loved the veggies and fish fry more than the rice.

Buriyani was served with devilled prawns, boiled egg, fish sambol and cut onions. My friend was saying buriyani was nothing but yellow colored rice. However he asked for it extra which was not charged. He was literally tired of peeling the top cover of each and every prawn, otherwise he was happy with it.
 
Food was certainly cheaper than in Colombo. For hungry travelers like us, it was just okay. But not sure if we may return.
