One of the finest places in colombo to have dnner, drink or a casual business meeting or a meetup with your partner. I recommend to go there after 6.00pm. Otherwise you can feel the sunny hot. After 6.00pm it will be created a nice scene infront of the colombo harbour with the lights. Their food is tasty. Specially beef deval. They have happy hours at 5.00pm to 7.00pm. But no for beer. You can get a free omlet with beet pitch. Service is really good. Also the place environment is classy level. They have a limited car park in the ground floor.

This place was on the top of my list to try. Don’t fault the Kingsbury for this restaurant because it just doesn’t match the service at the Harbor Court or Honey. We waited a long time for a waiter to even show up. And then, it was a little awkward. The process of ordering food is not intuitive. So here’s what to do; Look at the styles of cooking. Decide first if you want fried, grilled, curry style, etc. Then go up and pick your seafood, like hand pick it. This was actually a lot of fun. The pricing is “per 100 g” so if the scale reads .503 kg, and the food is 1000Rs, that’s 5,000Rs. You can ask for 200-500 grams of something most times. Like Stingray, we asked for an appetizer of 200g, fried. And it was great. Hope this helps future diners! Just a note to the hotel, you need your best English speaking staff here. The process and the cooking at this restaurant is unique and you need to be able to communicate well with the patrons.

The food was absolutely delicious! We tried the batter fried ship, the nasi goreng and the mambo. All of them were perfectly cooked and were very flavorful although the nasi was a tad spicy. They were not stingy with the isso (prawns) too! However the AC was not enough and it was a bit stuffy inside. But the service was very prompt.

Sahal- Authentic Srilankan Fine dining restaurant. They have calmed and huge amount area with lots of seating areas. When I was there I saw 3 food stalls and I get their menus for my late lunch. After couple of times I decide to order vegetarian Cheese kottu. Then I compare the prices and their services. Finally I choose 1st stall for my lunch. After I odered my Kotthu I seated corner table. Then I met my university friend and I invited them to join and enjoy lunch. Looks good. This the first time I tried cheddar cheese koththu. It's a good potion with lots of vegetables. I like to get lots of vegetables in my lunch. At the moment it's worthy dish for me. ☆ I uploaded some photos of kotthu they served. If anyone found cheese on it please dm to me.😅 Customer service. When I visits Sahal- Authentic Srilankan Fine dining Restaurant one lady come and ask me "how can I help you sir" then we say her to we want try new food dishes and after I say I'm vegetarian and then she says, " Sir try this cheese kottu it's comes with fresh milk and cheddar cheese." After that I decide try this kotthu. Then I say her to we'll come back an set the order. After few minutes me and my buddies walk to all food stalls and ordered several dish for them. ( There are variety of food cultures like Japanese, Korean, Italian, USA (mac) and Srilankan also.) Then we came to get my vegetable cheese kotthu and we decided to seated upper area because there not crowded. Then a guy come and ask us what we need to eat. Then I orded my kotthu. While I ordering my Kotthu one of my friend ask them to can he bring his dish to this place to get lunch with me. Then that guy offer him to if you want to bring other stalls food. First he had to order either cool drinks before seating for dining. ● That's why I put 2 🌟 s to their customer services. By the way cheese kotthu is delicious. But I never ever go their again. never recommend for any one who need good customer service.

Its a beautiful place just in front of D.S college. It must be an old wallawwa (kind of a old mansion) renovated and transformed into a restaurant. If you wanna go there I would recommend to reserve first. Because if its full you have to go upstairs and it doesn’t have greater ambiance. Food is tasty and staff is friendly. However prices of food is overpriced (considering all factors). VAT is not included in the menu shown. It has been added separately. Other than that its a good restaurant. You can get private dining as well.

I went to Nihonbashi for a lunch and the atmosphere as soon as you walk in is so cozy and spotless. The food was great with a good balance of flavors and to top it up the service of the staff was a cherry on top. Can't wait to visit again

My lunch experience was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I entered the elegant dining area, I was captivated by the luxurious ambiance and impeccable service. The staff greeted me warmly and escorted me to my table, where I was met with a stunning view of the surrounding cityscape. The menu offered a wide array of culinary delights. Each dish was a masterpiece, skillfully crafted with a harmonious blend of flavors and presented with artistic flair. The ingredients were fresh and of the highest quality, evident in every bite. The attentive waitstaff ensured that my dining experience was flawless, providing insightful recommendations and catering to my every need. Overall, my lunch experience at this star hotel was an absolute delight, surpassing all expectations and leaving me with a lasting impression of culinary excellence and exceptional hospitality.

I just had an unforgettable experience at a Hilton Colombo Residences Friday Dinner buffet. The dinner price included a cocktail as well. The ambience was enchanting, with elegant decor and warm lighting setting the perfect mood. Dinner consists of my favourite sushi dishes, dumplings and enough seafood and meat options. I'm thoroughly enjoying every morsel of the dishes. They had action stations for Hoppers, Pasta and BBQ. The chefs' artistry was evident in the impeccable presentation and exquisite flavours. Creamy cheesecakes, watalappan, and ice cream kottu are just some of the mouthwatering dessert options. The attentive staff made us feel like royalty, and our needs were promptly attended to. It was an evening of pure indulgence and a culinary journey that will stay with us forever.

Our first local food after arrival and we haven't been disappointed. Yummy and rich flavours. Great staff. We would definitely come back when in town.

The restaurant is beautifully decorated. Atmosphere is nice and cool. I ordered the curry crab / chilli crab and a garlic chilli prawn. Crabs and prawns were fresh and delicious. The price was a bit high. Recommended for all seafood lovers.

The Lagoon is the best seafood restaurant in Colombo. Great place for a family dine in and to enjoy a cocktail. Lobster thick curry, Lagoon Crab curry, and Fried hot and spicy prawn were superb. Authentic Sri Lankan style Kankun dish and the rice were nice, and the choices were perfect. The price was very reasonable. Highly recommended.

No complains. One of the best I’ve been to. Not a big restaurant. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Can accommodate up to around 30 people I guess. Service was superb, friendly and homely. The food was delicious and was quickly served. Dishes are authentic and the portion size is good enough. The beverages were top notch as well. The hot chocolate, specially, was huge and tasted awesome. Would not hesitate to go there again. Recommended. Prices are in the range of that of a fine dining restaurant.

Pros: Unbelievable vibe. Super cozy and warm atmosphere. A solo guitarist was playing and it was so soothing. Service is good and professional. Food is good and can say its worthy for what you pay. Cons: Cocktails how ever has low value for money, you get half a glass of drink for what u pay. They charge VAT and service charges which sums up roughly 1/5 the total bill. Going through the reviews I saw that VAT has not been charged on some bills. May be its there from certain amount upwards 🤷 Overall its well recommended for a romantic date night or for a cozy private dinner out.

Graze kitchen is awesome. We went for the dinner buffet on my birthday, all the dishes were delicious and we enjoyed. The Hilton Hotel is doing a great job here. Lovely arrangements. Very friendly staff. Highly recommended for everyone.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Harbor Court Restaurant with my wife for their dinner buffet, and it was truly an exceptional experience. From the moment we arrived, the service crew greeted us warmly and provided us with outstanding hospitality throughout the evening. The restaurant offers a wide variety of delicious food options, leaving us spoilt for choice. I must say, there was absolutely nothing to complain about regarding the dinner buffet; it has easily become one of the best dinner buffets we've had in Colombo. What impressed us even more was the flexibility in dining options at Harbor Court Restaurant. They offer two time slots for dinner: the first one from 6:30 PM to 9 PM and the second round from 9:30 PM to 11 PM. Additionally, if you're in the mood for a drink, you can easily request one here. The selection of food is abundant, and each dish is bursting with flavor. I would highly recommend making a reservation in advance, as this place tends to get busy. When making your booking, be sure to mention if you're celebrating a special occasion during dinner. The staff will pleasantly surprise you with a silent event tailored to your celebration, adding an extra touch of magic to your experience. Overall, I can recommend the dinner buffet at Harbor Court Restaurant enough. worth a visit, and I assure you that you won't be disappointed.

A very relaxing and a nostalgic peak into a Sri Lankan rural village in the heart of Colombo. Atmosphere is wonderful. Food is very authentic and staff is amazing.

One of the best beach side in Sri Lanka. Beautiful place. You can feel freedom. You don't want to buy tickets to visit here and it is not far from Colombo. If you like to stay there you can find a hotel easy.

The Asukaramaya Buddhist Temple is one of the most important tourist places in Colombo, which attracts visitors to see the architecture of this temple and watch Buddhists practice and rituals.

Recently I had a good experience at the planetarium of Sri Lanka. Their ticketing system should be improved because until you go there and get the ticket it's not sure. So they should have an online ticketing system at least for a certain amount of seats. Further if they can simplify some of the contents in the show it is better for school children to understand more.. If they develop the children's play area is also good. There is a canteen as well outside.

Good to see they've done some improvements in the recent years. There are some new big cat enclosures. Maintenance and upkeep seem to be going on strong too, and hopefully will continue in the future.

Well worth it! Mark is a wonderful guide- very intelligent and passionate about the history of Colombo. He provides a detailed overview of the history of his city through its architecture. His tour is full of interesting facts and his delivery was very entertaining. He is extremely invested in understanding Colombo’s shifting cityscape and preserving its cultural history. His concern is that people all too often adopt the mindset of “out with the old and in with the new” and are too quick to tear down older structures in favor of modern buildings. His stories about the infrastructure of Colombo animate the city in ways that would otherwise be overlooked. He clearly loves the rich cultural history of Colombo and leaves this sentiment with his guests. Beyond this, Mark is genuinely kind and helpful; he provided our group with insights into the local tourism industry, making thoughtful suggestions so that we could maximize our stay here.

It's a busy local market, most probably a wholesale market selling household items, groceries, fruits and vegetables.. The market is cheapest in Colombo and the shopkeepers accept all currencies..

🛍️ This market exudes a picturesque charm and possesses immense potential, yet the impact of the pandemic and the decline in tourism has taken a toll. A considerable number of shops have shuttered, leaving behind a selection that primarily consists of budget electronics and everyday consumer goods. ☕ While a couple of cafes exist, they lack distinctive appeal. However, the market does provide a welcomed oasis in the midst of a bustling area. It's a spot where you can pause for a few minutes, finding respite after a busy exploration of the market. 🚍 The market's surroundings serve as a local and regional transportation hub, contributing to the daytime congestion. As dusk falls, the area attracts a less desirable crowd, making tourists wary. Many businesses remain closed, and the open ones offer little that's truly captivating. 📸 The market's photogenic qualities offer a redeeming feature, adding a touch of allure despite its challenges. It's a reminder that appearances can be deceiving, as the market's potential is overshadowed by its less favorable location. If you found this overview valuable, consider marking it as helpful to encourage more comprehensive reviews 📦🌟

In Colombo city 🌃 it’s a good place for children and adults. There have a huge vehicle parking area. In there restaurants and entertainment places are there. We can spend time with friends and family here. The best thing in this park Bowling 🎳. Don’t go alone. It’s the best place to hang out with friends. Children entertainment games also there.

I visited on a Sunday and there were not much crowded. It took me 2 hours to see the entire section. Canteen and washroom facilities available outside the building. Photography allowed inside the building but not the video recording.

Looks surreal in the city. Feels a bit like china. The sculptures and golden viharas are very beautiful. Very interesting architecture, especially nice while the drumming ceremony. The temple's intricate architecture, adorned with vibrant colors and intricate details, creates a mesmerizing sight. It offers a serene escape from the bustling city tensions.

One of the nicest place even to vibe alone. People do come to spend their leisure time with their extended families. Can enjoy nature in a less noise polluted environment. As the Colombo National Museum is near, you can visit there too. There are instant hand drawn drawings sold along outside of the park. Buy them if interested.

It's a mind relaxing place for anyone. Busy in the evenings specially on Sundays. Have provided a children park,rest rooms, food stalls. There are plenty of seating places and a ground area for those who wish to play a game like cricket. And also the greenery area is a wonderful place for an outdoor picnic. And can't forget the breath taking view of the beach. There is a parking place which the ticket price was Rs.40/=.

Definitely worth a visit! The architecture is truly amazing, very fine details carved into pillars and overall surrounded by beauty. it was built to commemorate the independence of Sri Lanka in 1948. It has depictions of Lord buddhas life on the ceilings. It it kept clean and seems like a spot where locals come to chill out. Near is the arcade which has many western shops, also nice architecture. The arcade was previously a mental hospital and transformed into a very modern and clean space for locals and tourists to enjoy :)

(Visited on 30 June 2023, reviewed on 17 July 2023) This is an amazing place where you can spend some time gazing at the rolling waves of the beach and yet at the same time, have some street food and do some shopping at the One Galle face mall. I really love how it has changed ever since my last visit to this place in 2015. For the better. I agree with some of the reviews stating that we need to keep this place clean. This is because everyone has the responsibility to keep it clean, such that they can enjoy it the way they want to.🇱🇰😀

Looks surreal in the city. Feels a bit like china. The sculptures and golden viharas are very beautiful. Concrete elephant was inside. You can take photos of anything anywhere inside. They keep your stuff safe outside, even your helmets. Parking was on the road. Evening lights were great.

Amazing place, amazing people - totally unexpected. Not only do they serve fabulous food in a gorgeous environment, but they also offer accommodation - rooms from super to super dooper! I wouldn't think there is quite another, quite so hip and artsy place in Colombo and all that at a very reasonable rate. Highly recommended. We loved it.

A chill bar in the heart of Colombo, inside the majestic Shangri-La Hotel. We stopped by last night after dinner to hang with friends and shared a few drinks. The interior decor was slightly over the top - they could have fit in more seating in exchange for cabinets shelved with glassware. A live band was playing classical music. Overall, an inviting ambience. Cocktails, though overpriced, were presented well with a perfect blend of ingredients. The Whiskey Sour, at 2300LKR, was top-notch. The gentleman's penicillin, however, tasted too strong and was not worth the 5300LKR.

Botanik Rooftop Bistro & Bar offers delicious food, great drinks with music, and a stunning view of Colombo city. The service is friendly, though it can be a bit pricey. Overall, it's a worthwhile experience.
