3⭐️Kiss on lips LKR 1600 A pretty drink, but i didn’t get enough alcohol in it, it had peach but not enough mangoes as the description … it didn’t reach my expectation, but it was nice and cold!  4⭐️Prime chicken burger LKR 2350 This was nice and had all the works, was not heavy like other burgers … very soft and light for the stomach, for some may they may go for seconds if they were famished

ColomBar - cinnamon lakeside

COLOMBAR  2 pax bill  Tax 2086 Service charge LKR 995 Total bill 13,030 ( I was happy paying for the food but not for the tax)  Not all the cocktails were available which was a bummer, these were our second options  Vibe of the place is chill, music is a mix a of Sinhala and English.  weekends you can expect more Sinhala songs than English      4 ⭐️  Yaal paanam - LKR 900  Served in a charming tea pot and accompanied by a shot glass. The drink's consistency resembles liquids gold, that of a cordial, and its taste is a resemblance of a local snack called achaaru. (hope you have had the snack before to compare)   Indulge in the tantalizing combination of mango, tamarind, sweet jaggery, and the distinctive flavor of north Palmyra arrack. 🤩 Daiquiri    lemon - LKR 1200 MUST TRY Quench your thirst with the invigorating Daiquiri Lemon cocktail.

One of the regular coffee stops of Colombo  🙋‍♀️  MY POV disclaimer I love spice!    5 ⭐️ Prawn soup chili & cilantro LKR 1350 The creamy seafood broth of this prawn soup is simply divine. Its taste reminded me more of salty Padang than cilantro. 4 ⭐️  lime juice LKR 750 cold and keeps the zest of the lime just right with just the balance of sweetness  4.5 ⭐️ Pumpkin soup    LKR 1050 The pumpkin soup was as expected creamy and mild, paired well with the garlic bread.   5  🤩 Mixed seafood kothu LKR 1700  🌶🥵 This is a bomb, this dish is a burst of chili and encompasses all the spices we use in our curries, resulting in a dark maroon appearance for the kothu. Be prepared with ice/ sweet drink or two for the faint hearted  3.5 Lebanese chicken kebab LKR 2000 The Lebanese chicken kebab was filling, but personally, I found it a bit bland and more with ketchup (buy may be that's how its made in Lebanon!)  compared to the kothu. However, it served as a satisfying and healthy meal,
