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…

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…
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….
The Lagoon @ Cinnamon Grand (Part 01)
Located at: 77 Galle Road, Colombo 03, Sri Lanka Visited on: 25 Sep, 2017 The Lagoon was bustling on a Monday night – which says something about the place. And which you can understand once you’ve tasted their food and experienced their service. This is a seafood restaurant with a ‘fish market’ concept where you go…
VOC Café @ Dutch Burgher Union
Located at: 114 Reid Avenue, Colombo 07, Sri Lanka Visited on: 24 Sep, 2017 As I have mentioned in a previous post, I might have a bit of a soft spot for VOC Café’s Chicken Lumprais (LKR 545). Leave aside the fact that the staff can sometimes be a bit unreliable and lost with orders. There’s something…
The Commons
Located at: 39A Flower Road, Colombo 07, Sri Lanka Visited on: 23 Sep, 2017 The Commons has always been a great hang-out spot, with its laid-back set-up and ambiance. With a comprehensive menu and central but quiet location, it’s also a popular stop for a quick bite or a long catch-up meal. However, they seem to…
