"Best Hot Butter Cuttlefish" Let me start by saying Tilapiya Colombo has been a delightful discovery for me, recommended by a close friend. As a relatively new BYOB restaurant in the heart of Colombo 7, it’s safe to say that my first visit was nothing short of excellent. The moment I walked in, I was struck by the tranquil and inviting atmosphere. The ambiance exuded a sense of relaxation and comfort. The blend of soft background music and the lively chatter from diners in groups created a fantastic vibe – the kind that instantly makes you feel at ease. Let me talk about the food – the culinary experience was nothing short of excellent. There was one dish that truly stood out: the Hot Butter Cuttlefish. It was an absolute culinary delight and left an indelible mark on my taste buds. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the texture was divine. That dish alone was worth the visit. Moreover, I must highlight the exceptional service. Our server was incredibly attentive and provided us with top-notch care. Their knowledge of the menu was impressive, and their recommendations were spot-on. Throughout the evening, the service was impeccable, and they ensured our glasses were always filled. The flow of beverages and the consistent arrival of delectable food dishes added a lot to the overall experience. Each Dish that made its way to our table was not just appetizing but also visually appealing. The flavors, aromas, and presentation truly exceeded expectations. What truly made this visit exceptional was the experience shared with friends. It was an evening filled with laughter, wonderful conversations, and a sense of camaraderie. This was, without a doubt, one of the most memorable dining experiences I've had recently. Needless to say, we’re already planning our return visit. It's a place where friends can gather and truly enjoy themselves. 5 Stars From Me.👍🏻 Overall, Tilapiya Colombo comes highly recommended in my book. From the ambiance to the scrumptious food and impeccable service, it's a gem in Colombo. If you're seeking a place to unwind, relish fantastic food, and create unforgettable memories with friends, this is the place to be.

They did everything right from the beginning. Reservation was smooth and professional and the service is top notch. O3 who was attending to us was super friendly and helpful. The shots and snacks given on the house were a sweet surprise.Food is really good, Thilapiya dishes are a must try. Potion sizes are adequate and value for money is really good. We booked a PDR and the vibe was super good. A good music system was available with a YouTube premiere connection. Overall it’s an ideal place for a get together or fun eve with good drinks and yummy food. A must visit.

I enjoyed lunch there in a week day and it was calm and silent. I ordered a Fried Thilapia and it was yummy and fresh. Well detailed and arranged. Team was very supportive and attentive. There were more seating options and it wasn't crowded since it was a lunch in a week day. Located in the first floor of racecourse and you can find parking on the racecourse.

First time dining here and recommend that you make a reservation before go there as most of the tables were reserved when we walked-in. Dishes are expensive compared to the other places however there are variety of dishes to choose from. Taste of the food was poor and we were not served water until we requested. Fresh juices were okay and even though there were multiple dessert options available in the menu, only ice cream was available to order. Even though the place was decorated for Halloween, some people might find the decorations odd and disgusting for a restaurant. Customer service was average and would have been taken care of us better since it wasn’t busy.

Located conveniently. Ample parking. You'll find the usual srilankan Chinese dishes. The taste was moderate. They do have their own signature fish dishes. Better ask for their recommendations. The service was a bit slow, but it was understandable. Make sure you call them and reserve a table or a private room. They hsbe 2 rooms and you can have a karoke with your family and friends. BYOB!

Hands down one of the best seafood and BYOB (corkage free) restaurants in colombo! The vibe is spot on for a chilled weekend drink after a hectic week!. Loved the ambience and the staff was truly accommodating and friendly. Good portion size and yummy food! Reasonable pricing too. Would definitely recommend!

Here's an example of a business that really puts the customer needs as its top priority. It was a packed Friday night. Despite how busy they were, the staff attended to every one of our needs on time and with a smile on their face. It's the first time we've received service like that in Colombo on a busy night. The food was exceptional. The octopus just hit the spot. The pork belly and their signature tilapiya dish were to die for. It was an all-you-can-eat buffet and our team just whacked and whacked and whacked. The ambience keeps up with the service and the food. We booked a private room (one of two). We were pleasantly surprised to see the big TV and the karaoke set up, ready to get our night going at max volume. I would heartily recommend Tilapiya to anyone who wants to have a damn good time.

We randomly found this place on google and Instagram and wow! Food is amazing!! I love their baby octopus dish - spicy, fresh, and flavourful. The crab is also spicy which we love. Make sure if you can’t handle the spice. Let them know ahead of time. Whole fried fish is delicious but has lots of bones. Eat slowly. Overall experience was great. Food takes some time to come but servers are attentive and professional. Highly recommend it for visitors.
