  5🤩Indonesian nasi goreng 1980/- (seafood)  Comes with chicken satay which was juicy and tender unlike other places I have tried, peanut sauce and fried egg. Plenty of prawn crackers and a small size of picked vegetables which went well with the rice.  Rice was very color full and had a spicy hearty flavor which I will definitely order again.  4⭐️Pan fried gratin sea bass fillet 2760/-  Comes with sautéed mushroom, spinash creamy mash, buttered seasonal vegetables & garlic lemon butter sauce.  The fish fillet was covered with the creamy mushroom and butter sauce that I was confused, as what on the fish.  Buttered vegetables and mash was on point, not as cheesy as the Marriott mash that I tried, no cheese = better heath 😂 Yes I’ll order this again!  Gross 5160/-  Tax 10% SSCL 2.5% Vat 15%  Net 6865/-  FUN FACT 👩‍💻 Nasi goreng is highly influenced by the Chinese immigrants in Indonesia.

  Downstairs is without AC but there is upstairs which is with AC and proper seating. For all the times I went there, no one told me there was an upstairs with proper ambiance.   4⭐️Mulligatawny Soup – 450/- This soup offered a delightful lentil creaminess, infused with a subtle hint of Asian spices that lingered pleasantly on the palate. However, the addition of cooked rice, reminiscent of a kanda, was an unexpected twist. 3.5⭐️Paper Dosa – 420/- The dosa was perfectly crispy, accompanied by two types of chutney with a semi runny sambar, Although both chutneys could have used a bit more salt, they were still enjoyable and worth the price! FUN FACT 👩‍💻 What is the origin of dosa? However, according to historian P. Thankappan Nair, dosa originated in the town of Udupi in present-day Karnataka. Achaya states that the earliest written mention of dosa appears in the 8th-century literature of present-day Tamil Nadu, while the earliest mention of dosa in Kannada literature appears...

A tad bit spicy nothing a Sri Lankan can’t handle already.  3⭐️Basbosa - 450/- A delicate dessert crafted from semolina and baked to perfection. Lightly sweetened with fragrant syrup.

Just like most restaurants in Sri Lanka, (this one is also like home Based) the place do have flies and the tiny fruit flies, I am simply giving priority for the taste  4⭐️Chicken Tikka Biryani 1400/-  🌶️🌶️ This chicken had that perfect tikka look—succulent and beautifully marinated, delivering an instant burst of heat and flavor!

  5⭐️Watermelon coconut    (L) Rs.2000 ‼️If you’re not a coconut fan it’s not for you.  It looked lovely in its pink hue.  1st sip is like sweet Jasmin!  Confused and kept drinking, and eventually relinquishing the flavor of coconut cream and jelly,condensed milk sago and lots of ice!  📝 May be add more ingredients and less ice?  👩‍💻FUN FACT  Who made the first watermelon? In 2022, a study was released that traced 6,000-year-old watermelon seeds found in the Libyan desert to the Egusi seeds of Nigeria, West Africa.

Dolce Italian

5⭐️Lime and mint LKR 900 Pretty fresh with lots of lime and sugar on the side.  3⭐️Chocolate shake LKR 1350 A regular shake that did the job  For starters they had kept some  Focaccia bread which I found not fresh, on the other hand the bread sticks were good and crispy.  4⭐️Vellutata di verdure freche LKR 2300 A hearty pumpkin soup. But I won’t be ordering it again as I find it not worth the price. Garlic bread that came with soup also was not very exceptional.  3.5 ⭐️panino con salmone affumicato LKR 2700 Such a simple sandwich, smoked salmon, lettuce tomato and butter! is it worth price of the salmon ? I am not so sure if I would be in a hurry ti try it again.  When we got the bill we also got three complimentary cookies for a dessert!

Friends who have worked in the restaurant industry had some thoughts: Focaccia requires a lot of olive oil, whi...

Dosa by ruvi (No tax!)

  Vijay fans, you've got to check out this place! I wonder if the ilaya thalapathy knows such a gem exists in Sri Lanka! 4.5⭐️ The plain dosa priced at LKR 650/- is an absolute must-try. It's the crispiest dosa I've ever had! While the sambar was average, the coconut chutney boasted of distinct and delightful flavors. 4⭐️For something truly unique, try the T-67 priced at LKR 1590/-. It's like biryani but with a twist - two parathas layered with mutton gravy. Starting from a crunchy onion omelette at the bottom, each layer adds its own flavor, all complemented by a delicious gravy that doesn't overpower with excessive flavor enhancers, including salt. 4⭐️And for dessert, indulge in the Gulab Jamun dosa priced at LKR 690/-. It's a crispy dosa generously slathered with sexy syrup, with the jamun adding a burst of flavor. The syrup is used so wisely, making it a delightful and not overly sweet dessert. Be sure to share, as it's quite the sweet treat! 5⭐️Don'...
