One of the best hangout place in the city! Lovely interior , Nice ambience , Great food , Affordable prices with good taste and friendly staffs too :)Try ambarella juice and sea food burger!
6 months ago, I would have not recommended this place to anyone. Now service has been revamped, and I have to say, it's great! The live music on weekends is perfect. 2 thumbs up!
Great place. Nice ambience.. And the best food ever.. Ask for Nazeem (Operations Manager) for anything. Very helpful staff. Great place to have any kind of function..
One of the best chillaxing places in the city. Very spacious, affordable prices with good taste. Try the Barnesbury baked crabs, an absolute killer!
Nisal BulathsinghalaMay 18, 2013Try the Spanish chicken rice. Tastes good. The this place is not very expensive. Good for a family get together or a date. And the milkshakes are awesome.
Pretty much everything here is good! From the service to the food yo the staff! Great place to hangout and chill!
Kapila GunawardenaJanuary 24, 2014Ambience 8/10. RedFM dance music was playing. Not too loud so it didn't disturb conversation which is a good thing. Service 7/10. The girl who served us was good and the food came fast.- Amal AmaranayakeJune 7, 2017Everything we had was fantastic. Blueberry smoothies, cream of mushroom soup, sirloin steak, all awesome.
Ruvini LokunarangodaDecember 7, 2013Ambarella juice is a must try. And they serve yummy cookies with ice cream and chocolate sauce for dessert. :)- Derrain de SilvaMay 8, 2019Great place for couples to hangout and chill at. And the food is amazing!! ❤
PulzMarch 12, 2013Lamb Hot Pot & Chicken in Mushroom sauce was awesome! :) friendly staff, good ambiance & very decent prices.
Great place for a meal, good atmosphere. Wish they'd bring back the Jamaican Jerk Chicken, though.
Indika KumaraMarch 6, 2016Yesterday we had a great time with my friends smoking shisha. Great place for hangout. Nice to be there. :) :) :) :) :)
Nimanthika HettiarachchiDecember 4, 2013Flavoursome food in a homely setting and the best part is that it comes at an affordable price.- Thivanka RanasingheFebruary 27, 2014Really nice place, food was good, fast service and friendly staff. The mexican salad is really good.
Great food and drinks. Friendliest staff compared to other cafe's. Great service.
Megha WeerasekeraJuly 2, 2013The strawberry crush is the best slush in town... the waffles are pretty food too.. :-)
Nanshad DaruwallaApril 20, 2014Sheesha is good but the area is too hot. They should either put more fans or let people sit in the garden. Sour sop is a drink you must try here.- Ruzni IzathJanuary 31, 2014The prawn pasta and the chicken bacon waffle are are the best dishes so far.
The food is really good... Loved the Jamican Jerk Chicken & the grilled jumbo prawns...- Kapila GunawardenaJanuary 24, 2014Garlic bread was dry. Date and honey shake was very good but the straws need to be bigger or the dates need to be chopped into smaller pieces cos it kept on getting stuck in the straw.
Nidharshana ThiyagalingamJuly 21, 2013The mango shake was divine but the (so called) Totmato bruschetta was anything but divine.
Niruban SatchithanandakumarJune 29, 2013The chicken jambalaya is a steal. Plus the Jamaican Jerk Chicken is brilliant.
- Great ambience and friendly staff. Superb place to hang around!
- Try the chocolate mint hot tea... It's heavenly on a cold rainy day...
The most awesome place to chillax in Colombo... Staff is so friendly too
Madhawa GunasekaraNovember 29, 2013Try the special vegetarian cheese pancake...it tastes havenly....
Marlon RatwatteOctober 25, 2013Waffles..... Have the waffles.... Number 67 in the menu, with extra cheese :') tastes heavenly
The barnesbury milkshake special is a must have.
- Passion and mango juice is.good,.if you like a bit of punch in your drink :-)
DarshanJune 3, 2013Extensive menu, service is rather slow order as you get in, prices are reasonable, ambiance inside is rather confusing
They need sharper knives! But apart from that, the food is quite tasty :) ps- they do not serve alcohol
Priyanwada KayMarch 9, 2014Food and drink excellent but the service was awful, brought us normal tomato sauce when the menu said garlic mayo and insisted that this was garlic mayo rather rudely
