Review by a LK

    I was surprised by the color of this  biriyani, Green was not expected, it had a mild and sweet taste with ghee taste.    The shrimp use to be my fav, but this was disappointing, as it had too much onions,, chicken on the other hand is recommended  

    It was around 9.30pm which is quite late for Kandy people to go out for dinner &  coinciding with the observance of Poson Poya Day gave us a limited choice .  When we arrived at the hotel,the atmosphere was calm, with only one other table occupied by diners engaged in quite conversation. We had heard about a delightful rooftop area but were informed that it was closed as the bar wasn't operational.

    4🌟🌶Their biryani is one of our fav, it has adequate amount of shrimp, inkling of spice. comes with raitha and fresh side salad. (this the side salad was a bit rotten, so beware before serving.  This kothu too had reasonable amount of prawns, the paratha was a bit dry, it had a creamy gravy with hint of spice for Sri Lankan standard.   Chappathi LKR 690 3 pcs in a set  They came warm and soft, pretty much healthy I guess just the way I wanted FISH TIKKA LKR 2120   MUST TRY  This was simply  amazing, filled with Indian spices, and the texture super creamy with around 6 pcs of boneless fish cubes!! gosh I'm drooling as I think of it! TIP: Ask for some lime wedges and squeeze them over the chapati or the gravy, it enhance the flavor of the dish tremendously  ⭐️Dish: Healthy Fit (LKR 2750) Description: Main Course: Slow-cooked chicken supreme, paired with mixed green beans, caramelized squash with almonds. Thoughts: Chicken: Tender, but lightly seasoned. The tomato and onion sala

                                            Ceylon curry club @ Old Dutch hospital    So my foodie group who got me to explore all types of food got reunited for this month, they flow down for 2 weeks and we had our 1st outing tonight  So my friend who is was in Germany missed, Srilankan food so much and mostly she was craving seafood, (given the exorbitant price she had to pay for it was ready to splurge herself in seafood here)  was in the mood to go with ministry of crabs, but uncle the most senior member of the group suggested the Ceylon curry club  Uncle: ministry of crabs is a rip off, when we can eat a hearty meal right next door.  so here is my take of Ceylon curry club  started off with a complimentary cinnamon tea which was very good, while we had the conversation of how everyone is trying to export cinnamon out and make a second stream of income in these tough times    5 🌟 12.5kg Negambo lagoon crab cart LKR 12750    ( spice level - mild)  This dish was the major attraction

1. Ambiance - A basic family restaurant with a balcony where alcohol is served  They have a coffee shop next door too  2. Food presentation - good  3. Food taste - good  4. Staff - naveen sulakshana who served us, went well beyond with service. His approach was frisky and courteous above all concerned.  Example He fixed our shaking table, added another table to give us more space as there was less crowd being a Monday, we ordered a watermelon and beer so he asked since you are having beer do you need the watermelon? So he is a valuable asset!! 5. Washroom - unisex, clean & spacious bathroom 6. Kid friendly - 2 kids chairs  7. Halal - “All our meat suppliers are halal certified” “We don’t serve beef or pork, please note.” 8.

Food - seafood restaurant ** 1. Ambiance - vivid and brilliant (AC needs some work as it was a bit too hot) 2. Food presentation - colorful and palatable 3. Food taste - 5✩ 4.
