I’ve had my fair share of rice and curry in Sri Lanka, and this little stall at Colombo farmers’ market has been my personal #1 for years now. I truly believe they make the best rice and curry in the city, if not in Sri Lanka. The only downside is that you can only try their food once a week, on Saturdays, at the Good Market Colombo. Finding them a...
You’ll probably see their advertisement in the in-flight magazine on your way to Sri Lanka. Their slogan is “reservations essential”. And you better make a reservation before you arrive. Located in Colombo Dutch Hospital, a popular shopping and dining district, Ministry of Crab was created by one of Sri Lanka’s most innovative chefs, Dharshan Munid...
Don’t let the name confuse you: Mayura Hotel is not a hotel, but a tiny hole-in-the-wall type of restaurant in Pettah, Colombo’s biggest market. If you are not scared of navigating the busy streets of Pettah by yourself, then Mayura will offer you some of the best crab curry in Colombo. Here, you won’t find big fat crabs like at Ministry of Crab. B...
Upali’s is one of the most popular restaurants in Colombo serving traditional Sri Lankan food. It is conveniently located near major tourist attractions like Town Hall, Odel, and Viharamahadevi Park, making it a logical choice for dining while you are exploring Colombo. It is, however, a popular spot among locals too. On a weekday, getting a table ...
Palmyrah is a fine-dining restaurant located inside Renuka Hotel, on busy Galle Road. It offers traditional Jaffna dishes popular in the north of the country, like pittu, tossai, mutton curry, whole crab curry, and my personal favorite — milk hoppers. The latter, by the way, is so hard to come by in Colombo that I was the one who introduced my Sri ...
Monsoon is a relatively new addition to the busy Park Street that features several popular dining spots and boutique shops in Colombo. Monsoon is a fusion of cuisines from South East Asian countries like Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam. The plates are served family-style and are meant to be shared. Monsoon is headed by two Indo...
Dao Krua Thai, a little unassuming joint in Colombo-4, literally translates to “Dao’s Thai Kitchen”. Opened by Ms. Dao, fun and cheerful woman who immigrated to the island from Thailand, this spot is arguably the best for authentic Thai food in the city. Although it was opened as a street food joint, there are a few tables inside if you prefer a mo...
Kumbuk cafe was the first of a kind in Colombo, the first to combine tropical vibes with poached eggs on avo toast and good coffee — everything that other cafes are trying to replicate now: some successfully, others less so. When in Sri Lanka, my first preference is always cafes that, architecturally speaking, let the inside and outside spaces morp...
Possibly, the most popular cafe in the whole of Colombo at this point. The space is unbelievably beautiful, with floor to ceiling windows that open up onto a tiled terrace that flows into a little garden. The menu is similar to that of Kumbuk — breakfast and brunch favorites made with a Sri Lankan twist. Think: croissant with chili crab, golden fol...
This is a sister cafe of Seed, so you know the food and coffee are going to be good. They have recently moved into a bigger spacious place inside Access Towers. While the cafe is inside, it still has an airy, bright feel to it thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows. This is yet another great place for brunch, with options like slow-cooked pulled beef o...
