Great location for a curry night. Food was ok, portions on the small side and rather pricey.

The biggest draw is the location, it is such a beautiful bay, a real treat to spend time at. The Sri Lankan curry was nice but quite overpriced as the portion for each curry is small and extras are a lot for tiny amounts. You are really paying for the place and the experience.

Fabulous food and amazing view. Bell rings at 5pm to say the Sri Lankan curry is ready for service and the queue starts straight away. Bring a blanket and a bottle of your favourite drink and watch the sunset with delicious food

While I struggled to find very much online about the cafe prior to the visit it came highly recommended so we trusted those recommendations. We were not disappointed. The food is well presented, tastes fantastic and served in a beautiful location. A must for anyone visiting the area!

Curry starts around 4:50 and is delicious. They have a meat option and a vegetarian option and it is £13.50. Used to be cash only but now they take card. Beach is lovely.

Love this cafe, visited a few years back and it hasn't lost it's charm! Curry on the beach of an evening, fresh and great portion size! Salad and baguettes for lunch today, much the same, fresh, great flavours and service with a smile. Love having a mug of coffee on the beach and china plate to eat from, the staff never seem to stop and always smiling, what a credit to the cafe and customer service.

Fantastic place to eat in all respects. Don’t go expecting Pattaks or shop bought paste curry, this is the real deal! Served from a small container ship by a family business set in a lovely bay. Remember to buy mango chutney to go with your fantastic food. The sometimes lengthy wait for your food is a testament to how good it is. I was reading some of the negative reviews on here and it’s clear these people don’t get out much and should stick to there fish and chips.

Great food but never again! Too many people, too little space and too many barking dogs (owners immune to the fact that most people don’t appreciate barking dogs!) and no toilet? Cafe owners need to take some responsibility for managing the site rather than just the money.

Wow!!!! Popped over to Barricane Beach in the evening for curry. Parked up on the road, 5 minute walk down to the beach. Little queue to order but the food arrived quickly. Superb. £13.50 for three curries, rice, sambal and poppadums. All really lovely in a beautiful place. Tide turns quickly though. Highly recommended and def worth a visit

Best curry on a beach. It’s a real highlight to visit Devon and go to Barricane Beach for a curry. Just absolute love it and we are never disappointed. The queues are a give away - it is that good! Staff are always so friendly/helpful - and they also take card payments now (when the 3G works!) We will always return and it remains a highlight

What a hidden gem! Perfect if it's windy because it is protected from the beautiful natural cliffs on either side. Keep in mind it is a pebble beach and not a sand one. But the food from here is also amazing. The curry is served at set times but you can get other treats and drinks anytime.

We came here several times for the vanilla ice cream which was delicious. Came back one evening for the Sri Lankan curry and had mixed feeling. Each box of chicken curry with rice, chickpea, salad veg and poppadom at £13.50 was a bit pricey considering there were only three pieces of chicken which were quite dry. The sides were very tasty though. Extra spicy only meant chilli oil on top of the curry. Sad to say, a little disappointed.

Simple beach café at the bottom of the ramp to the beach. Does teas, coffees ciabattas and Ice creams until 4, but the main event is the curry served between 5 and 7. Menu is veggie/vegan or meat curry, mild or medium. Rice, Poppadoms and dhal added as standard. £12 for a good portion in a take away container. The lengthy queue down the ramp tells you how popular it is. Back in 2023. Still great food, but curry is now £13.50, but at least they now have a card machine.

Loved the food at this awesome little place. Very tasty authentic Sri Lankan food. We got there about 6pm and the que was long (also very exposed to sun so was very hot, bare in mind if u have a dog). service was great. Only issue was I asked for mine spicy, but when it came, it wasn't spicy but the flavours are lovely. The menu confused me slightly. They had 2 options, meat or veg. The meat consisted of 1 meat portion and 2 veg portions and the veg option was 3 veg portions. So the 3 portions make up the meal. Nice little dog friendly shingle beach to sit on whilst eating. They take contact-less payment here now. Take your own beer or wine.

We ate here whilst staying in Woolacombe. With a glorious sunny evening we decided to go down to the beach for one of their Sri Lankan curries. This was excellent and certainly good value. They offer both a meat and vegetarian option and both are gluten free. The experience was enhanced by the ambiance of sitting on the beach. This is not haute cuisine but definitely an experience to be savoured when visiting Woolacombe.

After an amazing swim in sea, was recommended by another swimmer about the infamous Sri Lankan curry serviced at the cafe, whilst in the queue for a drink others in the queue were discussing waiting for the bell to ring to let people know the curries were being served. Advised to order asap as queues go up to top of path & once gone than gone!! So ordered the chicken Sri Lankan curry, which comes with vegetables, rice, daal and poppadums!! Wow! delicious, loved it that much we returned again

It's a bit of a hidden gem this one. If the weather is right you're in for a great sunset and if the sea is calm it's even better. We went there for the food but didn't expect it to have such an amazing setting. The curry and rice was great and finishing it off with a tub of local icecream what could be better, we had the tubs of salted caramel icecream = so tasty. There's parking on the roadside ( don't forget to pay ) and a short walk down to the beach. Well worth the trip. The beach is dog friendly but please keep them on their lead and pick up any dog waste to dispose of. You have to go there if you like your sunset photo opportunities.

This place was recommended by a local and didn’t disappoint, We went for the curry on the beach option, the choice was vegan or chicken, and it was delicious. We were able to get one of the four tables available by the cafe which was great and contrary to other reviews we were able to get drinks and other food if we wanted it. Beautiful beach, lovely little cove. Dogs allowed on the beach but must be on a lead.

Whilst my friend and I placed our orders--for sandwiches, ice cream and iced coffee--at this place on Woolacombe Beach--not fewer than three people came by to complain of the food they'd been given and demanded refunds, Oh, why did we not pay attention to this? It would have saved us a few pounds and the disappointment of walking down to our spot on the beach and gagging on the completely disgusting food and drink. How could it look like reasonable food, only to taste as bad as it did!? That remains an unsolved mystery. It is only the location of the beach shack that keeps this little rip-off ongoing.

Good choice of food and drink available, the coffee even comes in a proper mug! About 1700 the Sri Lankan curry is usually ready, it's first come first served until they run out and there is often a queue. The curry comes in two options, meat or vegetarian and when asked the chef said it was all gluten free. You get a good portion and it was very tasty. Just be prepared as it's cash only! Due to lack of phone signal.

This was our first time visiting the bistro and would definitely recommend for anyone who is a fan of Thai food to go and give it a try . The food was excellent. Service was good apart from one waitress she was kind but very forgetful …. We had asked for some more drinks which we never received and the manager came round to see if everything was ok and he served our drinks . We had the same problem with the waitress when paying our bill as well . This was the only reason I didn’t not score it 5 stars
