GEKKEIK SAKE 150ml LKR 3400/-

compared to other alcohol This surprised me by being smooth and delicious! It pleased me.

MAGURO & SALMON ASHIMI 5 pc Each LKR 6000/-

It includes raw salmon and tuna.

If you've never tried eating raw fish, I recommend starting with salmon since it has a more pleasant, creamy melt-in-your-mouth feel than red tuna. Compared to the other fish, tuna is a little bit stronger and chewier.

SPICY SALMON ROLL 4pc LKR 1580/-

The creamy smoothness of the salmon complements the spiciness of the mayo. included some crunchy chunks, which was a wonderful touch.

SPICY TUNA ROLL 4pc LKR 1580/-

This was distinctive to this restaurant because it was so hot, like naimiris had been added. nonetheless, it was tasty.

GRILLED TUNA ROLL 4pc LKR 980/-

This came seasoned with black sesame seeds. The filling reminded me of a tuna mayo sandwich which had some crunchy cucumbers or celery. A bit goo Daly got my taste

CRUNCHY PRAWN 4pc LKR 1280/-

This was also quite good, and what made it special was the addition of crispy tempura flakes. A sweet sauce was added to the flakes to improve them further.

UDON NOODLE SEAFOOD LKR 3220/-

This flavorful thick noodle soup had full of texture.

It had a strong soy/fish odor and, in my opinion, was somewhat too salty (as expected in a seafood noodle)

HOTPOT SEAFOOD- 5850/- (for 1 pax)

Well, be warned—you're about to get your hands on deck experience.

I was given a wet tissue but no apron, it was entertaining to pout the tissue ball and watch it expand when the water hit it. (also known as coin towel, used to wipe the hand before and after)

A stove was also placed on the extremely small table. (our table for 2)

Returning to the soup, it had a whole crab, two prawns, and mostly vegetables with a few button mushrooms in a pot of chicken stock. let it boil.

I was served another bowl of noodle LKR 220/- as to fill me up with the seafood broth.

MATCHA ICE CREAM 1 scoop LKR 920/-

The sweetness level has to be adjusted to accommodate Sri Lankan palates.

Kaikos - No tax

Brightly lit and featuring a play area for kids with various toys and activities, this space aims to evoke nostalgia with its old Sinhala songs reminiscent of an old Kade. Staff Are nice and welcoming 3.5 ⭐️ Salmon Cheese Sandwich (700/-) A basic sandwich served hot, with the perfect amount of spice. Although the cheese was hardly noticeable, I'll definitely order this again. 4.5 ⭐️ Latte (650/-) A perfectly crafted, regular latte without sugar. It’s just right. 4 ⭐️ Coconut Latte (750/-) I initially thought this would be made with coconut milk, but it’s a regular latte topped with desiccated coconut flakes. Slightly sweeter than the regular latte, it's pleasant but not something I’d order again. 3⭐️Club Sandwich – 1000/- The fries accompanying the sandwich had an unpleasant aftertaste, suggesting that the oil used for frying was subpar. The sandwich itself fell short of a true club sandwich. While it featured multiple layers, the meat—possibly ...

New year dinner for 4 pax without taxes - 50,000/- (12,500 per person) It was undoubtedly a crowded evening at the Central Cafe in Shangila. We had booked appointments to eat there during the celebrations for the new year. As in usual days they have a variety of menu, but they yet again made it extravagant.
