This is the best attraction in Colombo! - Edit
I love this place so much that on my second visit to SL I made an effort to find accommodation not far from the restaurant so that I can eat there daily, without having to order.

Sri Lankan food 100% vegan - Edit
I love that place. Went there every day.
Read moreThey give you a banana leaf with your choice of rice and like up to 10 different gravies. All is delicious and you can just eat it with your hand - like the locals do (of course they also provide cutlery if you want).
No plastic, no one-way-stuff.
They also have a variety of deep fried delicatesses like breaded mushroom steak, breaded chili / pepper etc
I also really liked the huge selection of desserts. The food is changing day by day, so there is so much to try. Would always come back there. Probably will have breakfast there tmr as they open already at 6 am.
Pros: Explosion of delicious tastes, Desserts!!!, Spicy fresh chili dip to spice it up
Cons: food is/ can be cold

Best food in all of Colombo - Edit
Authentic Sinhala food cooked to perfection. You can taste a perfect balance of spices and the natural flavours of the vegetables, yams and legumes in the curries. Their Sri Lankan sweets are fine but not the best. And the ambiance isn't the prettiest

Everything here is wonderful - Edit
I tried all of the sweets as well as several of the rices, side dishes and curries. All were authentic, with great ingredients, freshly made and delicious. One of my favourite whole food plant based and vegan restaurants in the world. I had delivery to my hotel in Colombo through uber eats, very convenient! Warning, some of the items can be a bit spicy or different textures, take small bites and savour the amazing variety of subtle flavours of these culinary delights! #Veganuary

Disappointed and spicy - Edit
I’m really considering not trying any local dishes at all because everything turns out inedible and spicy as hell. Got a delivery from this place. Wrote then not to add onions and make everything not spicy. How do you think it was? Hella spicy. The only thing that was good is dang friits. They also forgot to put the vegan cutlet that I paid for as an extra. #Veganuary

Very disappointing and inedible. - Edit
I can’t understand the god reviews, the food we received was revolting. I ordered a delivery of the 5 curry and rice. Happily paid extra for a delivery. Asked for delivery at 8pm. They text me to ask if they could deliver at 7.15m but I wasn’t available then. They sad they would deliver at 8pm but turned up at 8.30pm with cold food. We reheated it and eventually ate at 9pm but the food was inedible as it was all so incredibly spicy. Even my husband who loves spicy food couldn’t stomach it.
