  C01. Runner beef stake LKR 1190/-  Cheese and herbs  2🌟 The crepe featured small pieces of marinated beef, but unfortunately, it was quite dry. With the usual cheese onions and herbs to help balance the taste. Definitely not something I’d order again.  C09. Prawn / isso LKR 1550 (cheese , herbs )  4🌟  The prawn crepe had marinated prawns that retained their juiciness. The combination of cheese, herbs, and onions complemented the flavors nicely, making for a satisfying experience overall. 4🌟C07. Beef Pepperoni 740/-   Beef + Cheese + Herbs  Well I’m not a beef pepperoni kind of gal, as it’s a very dry sausage. But the cheese and the herbs with the onion did go well.  5🌟Snicker with white chocolate is a MUST TRY  4🌟Black currant mojito 640/-  Sprite with cordial, I’ll not try this again as a person choice that I don’t like carbonated sweet drinks  5🌟C04. Tandoori 940/- (MUST TRY)  Chicken + Cheese + Herbs Well marinated Tandoori chicken with the above said ingredients and onions

3.5🌟Milo Cake – 400/- Resembling a tiramisu in appearance, this Milo cake initially excited me, but it didn’t quite meet my expectations. The cake was a bit dry and overly sweet, with a thick, chocolatey top layer that might appeal to those with a very sweet tooth. Personally, I found it too heavy and probably wouldn’t order it again, but that’s a matter of preference. 3.5🌟BBQ Submarine – 1000/- While the BBQ name might be misleading, this sandwich offers a tasty, albeit messy, experience. It’s more of a creamy chicken sub, featuring a soft bun filled with generous portions of chicken cubes,cheese, fresh tomatoes, onions, and crisp salad. The flavors are pleasant, but if you’re expecting a true BBQ taste, this might fall short. However, it’s a filling and satisfying option for a quick meal. 4🌟Bang Bang Shrimp – 1300/- (15 pcs) MUST TRY These small shrimp are expertly battered and fried to a perfect golden brown, then lightly dusted with chili powder and drizzled with a touch of mayo

  5🌟Korean BBQ Chicken Sandwich – 2650/- (A Must-Try!) Toppings:  Organic greens, spicy mayo, kimchi, and bean sprouts This sandwich stood out with its well-balanced textures and flavors. The Korean BBQ chicken was tender, with a delightful blend of sweet and savory notes, enhanced by the spicy mayo. The organic greens provided a fresh crunch, while the kimchi and bean sprouts added a layer of complexity and a satisfying tang. The accompanying coleslaw was light and refreshing.  4🌟Lamb Burger – 3750/- Toppings:  Cajun onions, tomato-cucumber raita, lettuce, and a fried egg This burger offers a clean and substantial experience with a large, juicy lamb patty that takes center stage. On the side, there was a portion of pickled beetroot and a serving of cucumber raita, which were nice additions but didn't contribute significantly to the overall flavor of the burger. The beetroot was pickled, distinct sweet and tangy taste. 

  ISSO has truly elevated their menu offerings, creating an experience that's both visually stunning and appetizing. I particularly appreciated the incorporation of local edible flowers like butterfly pea, which added a unique touch. STAFF are nice too  4🌟Jaffna Curry  🌶️🌶️ This is a spicy gravy, and I noticed that the cooking style is less creamy, which adds to its distinctiveness. 3.5🌟Passionfruit Drink – 895/- I appreciate that their drinks now have a more natural taste, without adding carbonated drinks, 📝 just like the food, drinks too need a much appealing look, may a simple green garnish would have made the difference.  3.5🌟Jaffna Curry - Jackfruit  🌶️🥵  – 1395/- The breadfruit curry was quite spicy, and the breadfruit itself had a texture that reminded me of soaked roti, which was unexpected. While the curry had a pronounced roasted spice flavor that I'm accustomed to, the unusual texture might not appeal to everyone. I’m uncertain if I would try it again, though

  CHICKEN WAFFLE W' SUNNY SIDE UP A golden warm SOFT waffle, topped with perfectly seasoned chicken and a sunny-side-up egg, garnished with fresh bell peppers and herbs. Which was not much BUT It was delish! 

    4🌟Spiked salted caramel 1300/-  Nice frothy, slightly caramelized milk shake. I didn’t feel like it had any alcohol even the though it said “spiked” 😅 4🌟Affogato 1050/-  Dark bitter Expresso poured over vanilla ice cream. Perfect sweet bitter combo. It is one of the best Italian dessert    drinks to have on a hot day! 

3🌟Cardamon tea 300/-  Creamy with a steep smell, but I felt it was boiled too much. (Not my fav) 3.5🌟 filter coffee 250/-  Strong aroma, with a bitter undertone.
