4 ⭐️Large Chicken Biryani, LKR 1990

The fragrant herbs and hue-colored rice in colors of yellow to red made this Pakistani biriyani an attractive picture.

I’m so used to eating Biriyani which is a bit more gravy type, comparatively this was much dryer. Which was new to me, However, there was just one piece of meat for the entire meal, which I think was not sufficient for a large portion. So I was a bit dismayed as it tasted so good.

5 ⭐️Prawn tikka LKR 1600

These were de-shelled, thoroughly marinated, and perfectly grilled. They were served with lime and thinly sliced onions.

So was easy to gobble down,

5⭐️The BBQ Chicken LKR 1000

This came with a sour/tangy sauce with a heavy hint of chili, which was unique that it went well grilled and juicy meat!

5 ⭐️Matka Kulfi LKR 550

The gelato from Pakistan is presented in those cute small pots and is made with dairy milk and ground almonds. Try listening for the pop when you open those tiny objects!

was basic and was expected but way too sweet for me

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.
