STATEN BAR & GRILL * Cinnamon Life

Must try  5🤩STATEN BURGER (D, G) Rs.5500/-  chorizo jam , caramelize onions , brie , tomato, backyard sauce 5500/-  We had the burger, medium rare , and it was so juicy everything in the burger was just so perfect and easily can eat the whole thing and not feel guilty Must try  5🤩PAN SEARED SALMON (D, S) Rs. 7,500/-   lemon butter, grilled lemon This was gorgeous. The skin of the salmon was perfectly crispy, and the salmon was so flaky, moist and buttery. I didn’t even add the lemon butter sauce the salmon surfers melt in the mouth chefs kiss TEXAS BBQ RIBS (D) Rs 7500/-  home-made BBQ sauce  This looked very appetizing, and the portion size to be big, but when I saw that the meat was drenched in sauce, it was a dismay. I would have appreciated the sauce on the side, so I can see the meat and also this ribs had a bit of cartilage in it, which I am not a fan of so I had got them take away so the next day when I hear it and had it again it was ...

Coconut hut

New café alert this café is located between Culpi and Marine Drive and I love the interior is very minimalistic and staff pleasant. Easily can accommodate around 30pax for a small gathering The Coconut Hut https://share.google/rSYpWpOF21C9jHm4u 5 🤩Must try Slow-Braised Beef Sandwich  3200/-  Tender braised beef in toasted multi grain loaf with sharp cheddar, baby greens & a side of hand cut fries . Pretty crunchy multigrain toast and the beef was filled. I’m so tender. I love the combination of the onion salad with a creamy sauce and the french french fries fries. I would definitely order this again 3✨ Chiffon Pandan Cake  2000/-  I adore the vibrant layers and the elegant presentation, especially with the sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes—it looks delicate yet captivating. The pairing of coconut cream and jaggery caramel works beautifully with the soft pandan-infused chiffon cake, creating a lovely tropical profile. However, the outer cream layer—possibl...

  3⭐️ Lemonades (All syrups are made in-house with fresh ingredients) Watermelon Lemonade 1,320.00  Refreshing with sparkling water and lemon and watermelon  But being a bit price sensitive, I’ll think twice 🤔 3.5⭐️Ceylon Cinnamon Latte - Anaerobic 1,280.00 It was a light cinnamonish coffee, served cold.  5🤩Eggs and Toast 2,800,00 2 Eggs of your choice (Folded, Fried, Poached), sourdough & butter.

Ibos cafe

3.5⭐️Not Philly Chicken and Cheese Toasty - LKR 1260 Why is this called that why???🤔 It had the right amount of spice and cheese. The berad ofcourse is a bit on the dense.  Price wise I don’t mind having this again   

Layards wharf (Japanese havelock)

🤩Spicy tuna Maki LKR 1910/- 8pc  This was very good. They had a spicy tuna extra on top of the maki also. Which I have not seen at any-other place. 🤩Highly recommend!  3⭐️Beef noodle soup, Classic LKR 2210/-  Clean soap, but as my daughter said, it’s like “mungatta” soup because the broth had more bean sprouts Flavor than the beef. So clean broth with shredded beef, a good amount of vermicelli noodles with lots of beans sprouts and they had that weird sweet mint leaf which really put me off.  honesty, but I don’t think I’ll order this again.

Prawn biryani 2250/- 🔥🥵 Waiter : do you wanted chattinad or dindugal?  Me: which is the spiciest ?  Waiter : dindugal (and oh boy was it SPICY)  So I can handle a lot of heat but this Spice was unique that it’s stays on your tongue for quite a bit of time.  I won’t order this again 🫣 FUN FACT  Dindigul and Chettinad biryanis are both known for their spiciness, but they achieve it through different approaches.  Dindigul biryani uses a combination of green chilies and black pepper, often including a variety called Nambiyur gundu chillies or boriya chillies , to deliver a robust heat. Chettinad biryani, while also using green chilies, relies more heavily on a complex blend of ground spices, including dried red chilies, and a wider array of aromatics to create a layered spiciness.   Gulab Jamon 580/- for 3 pcs    Usually, the cardamom is only added into the sugar syrup, so it gives a subtle flavor, but in this jamon, it was in the flour. ...
