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…
Ranthaliya Rest House
Located at: 11 South Lake Road, Kurunegala, Sri Lanka Visited on: 22 Jun, 2017 This was a lunch stop we made while on a visit to Kurunegala, prior to The Eat Log days. Hence details are comparatively minimal and I have just a single, candid (and poorly focused) picture of the spread. But the food…
Chutneys @ Cinnamon Grand (Part 01)
Located at: 77 Galle Road, Colombo 03, Sri Lanka Visited on: 03 Oct, 2017 For some odd and unknown reason, I woke up a couple of mornings ago with the thought of dining at Chutneys. So naturally, perhaps, that is the first place that came to mind when we were contemplating where to have lunch….
