4⭐️Arabic Mezze Platter - 2100/- (MUST TRY) 

Experience an authentic taste journey with our Arabic Mezze Platter featuring hummus, baba ghanoush, mutabal, tabbouleh, muhammara, and pita bread. Unlike other places, the salt is minimal, allowing the true flavors of the ingredients to shine.

  • Hummus: Smooth and creamy, made from chickpeas.
  • Baba Ghanoush: A delightful eggplant- onion based dip
  • Mutabal: Another eggplant dip, but with a smoother texture.
  • Tabbouleh: A refreshing salad of finely chopped parsley.
  • Muhammara: A unique blend of walnuts and bell peppers with a hint of sweetness.

The two eggplant dips offer different experiences – one is like a salad, the other is incredibly smooth. Though not the most visually appealing, their flavors are spot on. The hummus is as creamy as ever, the tabbouleh offers a burst of fresh herbiness, and the muhammara's nutty sweetness is simply irresistible.



Bruschettas - 1800/- (MUST TRY)

Enjoy our freshly prepared Bruschettas: garlic-rubbed toasted bread topped with tomato, mozzarella, and basil. Each bite is crisp and bursting with fresh flavors, accompanied by a delightful aroma that enhances the overall experience.





Courtyard Old Fashioned - 2400/- (Happy Hour 50% Off)

Indulge in our Courtyard Old Fashioned, a stunning golden cocktail that perfectly blends whiskey with the sweetness of caramelized banana and a hint of citrus peel. It's an exceptional drink, especially at half price during happy hour!






Free Range Chicken Breast - 3500/-

(MUST TRY)

Prepare to be amazed by our Free Range Chicken Breast, a top-class dish featuring two expertly grilled chicken breasts served with buttered vegetables and a side of peppercorn sauce.

What sets this dish apart from others is the mashed potatoes. Normally not my favorite, these mashed potatoes were so smooth, creamy, and cheesy that I devoured them with gusto! They melted in my mouth, and a bit of texture would have made them even more perfect.

The peppercorn sauce is another highlight, offering a creamy yet spicy kick that is uniquely delicious.

2.5⭐️Chicken nasigorang 

Ok it lacked the usual saltiness and lack of colour. It tastes more sweet and smoky, the chicken satay was pretty dry 

2⭐️The deviled chicken 

Far from being the type we call deviled, it was just cubes of chicken tossed with green peppers onions rotates in tomato sauce! 








 

So we went to try their drinks 

Lychee martini LKR 3000 - I didn't taste it 

3🌟Rum paradise LKR 2400 
Loved the coconut Water infused lychee, which was sweet alas it didn’t have enough alcohol into for me to feel anything thing. 


As bites 

Polos cutlet LKR 1650- not available 

3🌟Prawn cutlet LKR 2100  was more of potatoes than of prawn, nevertheless hot and crunchy 

Wade on a stick 

we wanted Masala Wade 

 We expected a wade on a stick and it was served in the normal round shape. Taste was good with mint chutney, yet our expectation was a it should come on a stick!

5🤩 Crystal Prawn Dumpling LKR1500  MUST TRY  🤤 Simple but i loved it! Glistening in a pearl-like sheet, these dumplings are a visual feast. Delicately wrapped, each bite reveals a succulent prawn, offering a taste as light as the ocean breeze. 5🌟 Chicken Scallops and Chives Dumpling LKR1500 Shaped like an ear, with a slight roast enhancing the hidden, lightly flavored meatball. A vibrant presentation adds to the overall experience. 🤩 Sweet and Sour Garupa LKR7000  MUST TRY  The star of the table, initially intimidating with its head and eyes. Despite the initial scare, guests devoured it like a salad. Fried in a light batter with a golden syrup bath, the fish body surprises with a bone-free, crunchy delight. The hint of pineapple, sweet corn, and the crunch of bell pepper leave you yearning for more. 🤩 XO Fried Rice with Scallops and Prawns LKR2900  MUST TRY  A loaded delight with prawns and egg, making additional side dishes nearly obsolete. 5 ⭐️ Sich...

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 ...

Central all day dining- Shangrila buffet

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.  There were several meat carvings, including hog, turkey, and fish, along with a wide selection of sauces, veggies, pickles, and condiments and not mention the ice carvings that one can admire inclusive a cheese fountain.      In 1971, Malaysian entrepreneur Robert Kuok introduced the Shangri-La chain of hotels. The first Shangri-La hotel debuted in Singapore in 1971, and since then the company has grown to include hotels all over the world under its renowned luxury hotel brand. Consequently, you will find some foreign chefs and management maintaining the international standards and it also  adds a Singaporean and Hong Kong touch in their menu. Even tho...
