Located at: 58A Horton Place, Colombo 07, Sri Lanka Visited on: 27 Dec, 2017 One thing that’s bound to catch your eye as you walk into Flamingo House is the interior of the place. Previously a more modest extension to Gerard Mendis Chocolatier, the restaurant part has changed hands over the years with the chocolatier/patisserie still…

Here's my two cents on what's at the table today.
Zen @ Zylan Boutique Hotel
Located at: 115 Rosmead Place, Colombo 07, Sri Lanka Visited on: 16 Dec, 2017 Let me begin by saying that Zylan Boutique Hotel, at which Zen is located, is beautiful. Elegant, romantic and serenely decorated. Being the Christmas season, it had been adorned further with some tasteful décor. It was on the verge of less-is-more,…
Lakpahana Café
Located at: 14 Phillip Gunawardena Mawatha (Reid Avenue), Colombo 07, Sri Lanka Visited on: 11 Nov, 2017 We had no idea that the little café at Lakpahana did lumprais until a friend mentioned so and recommended that we try it out. And so we did. However – just in case you start making plans for a…
Romana Pizza Ristorante @ K-Zone Ja-ela (Part 02)
Located at: Ground Floor, K-zone Ja-ela, 525 Negombo Road, Ja-ela, Sri Lanka Visited on: 09 Nov, 2017 I decided to give the new place a second shot. Two types of pizzas, take away again. This time my first pick was Siciliana – with salami, capers, anchovies and black olives (LKR 1,450 for Medium 13”). The first…
Romana Pizza Ristorante @ K-Zone Ja-ela (Part 01)
Located at: Ground Floor, K-zone Ja-ela, 525 Negombo Road, Ja-ela, Sri Lanka Visited on: 05 Nov, 2017 Such a great find! I didn’t see this coming, to be honest, but this is about as authentic as pizza is going to get for a locally-owned restaurant. And it’s all the way out here in Ja-ela – double…
Arabian Knights
Located at: 377 Galle Road, Colombo 03, Sri Lanka Visited on: 03 Nov, 2017 Back after a short stay in Dubai and our appetite for shawarma still intact, we decided to pick some dinner up from Arabian Knights while we were out. We’ve been here a few times before and have been impressed by their…
The Dubai Diaries: Al Shami Restaurant
Located at: Al Muraqqabat Road, Dubai, United Arab Emirates Visited on: 28 Oct, 2017 This is the place I think of when I’m not in Dubai and crave shawarma. One chicken shawarma and two falafels with some tahini sauce make for quite a happy meal for me. Al Shami is no fancy restaurant, but neat and spacious…
The Dubai Diaries: Shabestan @ Radisson Blu
Located at: Baniyas Road, Deira, Dubai, United Arab Emirates Visited on: 26 Oct, 2017 Although I’ve been to Radisson Blu on a countless number of occasions, this was my first visit to Shabestan. Persian/Iranian cuisine isn’t something we have frequently either. So I wasn’t very sure what to expect that evening. But I can safely say that…
The Dubai Diaries: Wafi Gourmet @ The Dubai Mall
Located at: Financial Centre Road, Downtown Dubai, United Arab Emirates Visited on: 24 Oct, 2017 My first encounter with Wafi Gourmet happened several years back while they had a branch at Dubai Festival City (DFC). And I immediately fell for their pita bread and hommos (quite often spelled hummus). Authentic Lebanese food is what they promised…
The Dubai Diaries: Tomo @ Raffles Dubai
Located at: Wafi City, Umm Hurair, Dubai, United Arab Emirates Visited on: 23 Oct, 2017 Tomo is what one would refer to as an authentic Japanese restaurant, with its Japanese kitchen brigade, and yet another place that is worthy of mention for its consistency. Up-end but with a relaxed atmosphere, the restaurant is perched on the…
