This is our second time here. This time we celebrated my father in-lawâs birthday here and he was totally surprised. I should specially thank Ms.Aheni, who did an awesome job from reservation to setting up the birthday decorations/songs. Most importantly we were given total control over the boat to set up the surprise birthday party and we got support from Mr.Janaka and crew, they were very friendly and helpful, it just felt like home. Believe it or not, we were even given a place to hide our car. Everybody loved the food (yummy!), service, and overall experience. We truly had an amazing time. Should you visit this place? Ask yourself WHY NOT? :-)

My friend and I were searching for a bar to go to in Colombo and were fortunate to have this suggested by one of the locals.Situated right beside the beach this bar serves alcoholic drinks (cheap by Western Standards), with 500ml of Lion lager approximately 300 rupees (£2.30). You can either sit on the beach or under cover in the 2 storied bar. There is also live music with good quality bands and individuals performing.

7. Shanmugas

Reviewed By mmparthi
Shanmugas used to be one of the top places to dine and eat in Colombo, especially when it came to South Indian cuisine. We ordered lunch takeout this time around and were quite let down by the quality and flavors. The curries were sub-par. They all tasted the same. The sambar was just watery and had no proper ingredients. It was just unpleasant to enjoy. They need a makeover and get back on track. Not sure about their quality on Dosa's and Idly's. But given my experience with the Rice and Curry, I am not inclined to try it out.

The food at this restaurant is fantastic! We visited this restaurant on our first night in Sri Lanka and it did not disappoint - a favourite meal from our travels. There was only one other group in the small, but comfortable and casual restaurant, but that was no problem. We sat on the terrace and loved the vibe! The owner asked our spice preference, which we liked as my tolerance for spicy food isn't great. All dishes were prepared to our palette and tasted amazing! We had the fish curry, rice, vegetable curry and poppadoms. They threw in side dishes on top of all that which were also so, so tasty (coconut sambol and beetroot dish). All Sri Lankan and all, totally authentic - a great foodie experience. I don't believe they sold spirits but the wine was good. The meal and drinks were not expensive - good value for money. The owner chatted to us about our trip and where we were from - a nice, personal touch. Highly recommend this place - a real gem!
