Café Sociale

Located at: 252A Galle Road, Colombo 04, Sri Lanka Visited on: 21 Jul, 2018 This place had been popping up on my newsfeeds for a while and I was quite curious to try it out. So off we went on a smoulderingly hot afternoon to fill our bellies. The first thing that strikes you about…

The Embazzy

Located at: 76/1 Flower Road, Colombo 07, Sri Lanka Visited on: 12 Jun, 2018 Colombo’s been sprouting out restaurants and cafés like mushrooms after the rain. Which is great for food enthusiasts since it gives plenty to choose from and explore. One of these relatively new spots, The Embazzy, was quite abuzz when we visited…

Mainland China

Located at: 8 Flower Road, Cinnamon Gardens, Colombo 07, Sri Lanka Visited on: 26 Mar, 2018 There has been quite a buzz about this place since it opened a branch on the island recently. I’ve been seeing eye-catching and appetising pictures on social media, and so was excited to pop in for lunch while passing…

Schákàsz Dessert Bar

Located at: 56 Stratford Avenue, Colombo 06, Sri Lanka Visited on: 15 Mar, 2018 This place should have been named ‘The Devil in Disguise’. For no matter how strong your will might be, Schákàsz will inevitably and most definitely tempt you into some form of indulgence. I was first introduced to the unconventional name when a…

Caramel Pumpkin (Part 01)

Located at: 38 Ward Place, Colombo 07, Sri Lanka Visited on: 15 Mar, 2018 The quirky name of this place was the first thing to catch my eye. And a look-up online revealed an equally quirky-looking menu. We dropped in at lunch time on a relentlessly hot day, and although I do regard that the extensive…

Located at: Hilton Colombo, 2 Sir Chittampalam A Gardiner Mawatha, Colombo 02, Sri Lanka Visited on: 10 Mar, 2018 Here’s a food fest that’s still on at the time of publishing this article – the Kottu Fest at Hilton’s The Curry Leaf restaurant, from the 7th to the 17th of March, 2018. I was pretty keen…

Plunkett Posh Kottu

Located at: 375 R. A. de Mel Mawatha, Colombo 03, Sri Lanka Visited on: 16 Feb, 2018 I was somewhat intrigued by the name of this place. ‘Plunkett’ and ‘Posh’ are not quite the sort of name and adjective one would associate with ‘Kottu’. So, I decided to give it a shot. It was a take-away…

Ten Buffets in Colombo

Colombo, Sri Lanka   Who doesn’t like a good buffet? My family, for one, enjoys spending a couple of hours at a good buffet every once in a while– special occasion or otherwise. Of course, given my small appetite, I always get told that I’m the sort of patron that buffets thrive on to make…

Sugar Bistro @ The Promenade

Located at: The Promenade, Odel, 5 Alexandra Place, Colombo 07, Sri Lanka Visited on: 10 Jan, 2018 The idea was to go to Sugar Bistro at Crescat Boulevard. However, since it was already lunch time and we didn’t want to crawl (and battle) through the school traffic from Odel to Galle – as short a…
