    One of the decent places to have a drink while enjoying some food on the rooftop in Nugegoda area. They usually keep the place clean and tidy but if it's a busy day it might be little messy. Food is used to be good but the recent visit wasn't very pleasant as almost all the dishes we ordered were salty. Parking is very limited but you can find a spot side of the road without much trouble. Friday evenings are usually crowded.

    Situated at 3rd floor in the building and there is a dedicated lift. Nice atmosphere. Plenty of dining tables available, wide variety of food range and service is average. Prices are reasonable and parking is along the roadside.

    Nawala machan is in another level compared to other machan outlets. The pub is on a roof top in Nawala Nugegoda. There is a dedicated lift to the pub. Parking is scared. This place has a decent crowed with lively atmosphere. They got a good drinks menu and surprisingly good food menu as well. Staff is friendly and supportive. Great place for a drink and gatherings. If you request they will also split the bill

    My experience at this pub was delightful, especially considering it was my first visit. The menu showcased a variety of delicious options, and the food exceeded expectations. The atmosphere was cozy, making it an enjoyable place to share a meal with a friend. While I've only been there once, the positive impression left me looking forward to future visits.

    Getting back here after some time. All health and safety guidelines are followed, and cleanliness is maintained always. Quick service inspite limited crowds these days. Very chilling place to be even on a Monday evening. Rooftop bar ,with a large television which is also good to be here on match day (cricket/football/IPL) CHEERS 🍻 DRINK SAFE AND RESPONSIBLY

    I had the pleasure of visiting this pub on a recent night out with friends, and I have to say, I was thoroughly impressed. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere. The decor was cozy and inviting, with plenty of seating options for groups of all sizes. But it wasn't just the ambiance that impressed me - the food and drinks were also top-notch. We started off with some appetizers, and I have to say, the loaded nachos were a standout. The portion size was generous, and the toppings were perfectly distributed - no dry chips or naked spots in sight. For my main course, I opted for the fish and chips, and I was blown away by the freshness and flavor of the fish. It was perfectly crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside, and the chips were deliciously seasoned and not at all greasy. Of course, a good pub isn't just about the food - the drinks are just as important. And this pub did not disappoint on that front, either. They had a great selection of beers on tap, and the bartender was knowledgeable and friendly when it came to helping us make our choices. I tried a few different brews throughout the night, and each one was better than the last. But what really set this pub apart for me was the service. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, and she went out of her way to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. When I mentioned that I was celebrating a birthday, she surprised me with a complimentary dessert and even sang me a song. It was a small gesture, but it made a big impact on me and really cemented this pub as one of my new favorites. All in all, I would highly recommend this pub to anyone looking for a cozy, friendly spot to enjoy some great food and drinks. Whether you're stopping in for a quick pint or settling in for a long night with friends, you're sure to have a great time at this gem of a pub

    We had some bad experience the first time we got there. We went for a little drink and the all dishes we ordered were not in state of edible. First we had garlic with fired chicken, chickens were not fresh even the few garlic were rotten as well. You may see the photo of how it looked like. Then the boiled veggie was without salt and the onion rings had a bitter taste like kohomba. We make sure not to visit the place again. But I have to say the service was supered from the butler and very friendly.

    Good customer service , however the food wasn't tasty as they say . Their chicken fried rice was so dry but the crispy chicken dish was so good , fresh and juicy 👌

  • 4/5 Harindie H. 1 month ago on Google • 10 reviews New
    The restaurant is located on a rooftop, offering ample space, although it tends to be a bit warm as only fans are available, not AC. We opted for a beer tower, and the service was satisfactory. We ordered hot butter mushroom, Daiya devil chicken, a chicken kottu, and chicken rice. The food was decent, although the rice was not to our liking. However, the kottu was particularly enjoyable. Despite this, we found the portions to be quite small and the prices a bit high. It seems that the main focus of the establishment is its bar operation, with food playing a secondary role on the menu.

    Nice place. But the staff wasn’t attentive at all. We have to wait for so long to place the order. It wasn’t that crowded at that time. We have asked for a wine bottle instead of what we requested they have given us a champagne bottle but didn’t even bothered to tell us. When we noticed that and enquire about it they said that’s the only thing they have. Well if that’s the case they have to inform us, so we can choose something else we like Instead of choosing something they like. Normally if we buying a bottle they need to open the bottle in front of us. But when they bring the bottle to us it was already opened. Not happy with the whole experience we had that day.

    Good place to have a beer in nugegoda area. Clean and tasty food. Try their special rice which is enough for 2 beer pitchers.

  • 4/5 Kavindu G. 2 years ago on Google
    filled with people and good vibes, staff needs to be little more attentive and friendly. but overall, it was nice! there is a lift that would take you to the third floor for a wheel chair user, but as the wash rooms are in second floor.. the space in that floor is bit limited for a wheel chair user to access. wash rooms are not accessible friendly. So if you have any kind of disability.. better find another place other than this, and let's hope they'll fix those access issues in future.

    Good place to chill and have a drink with friends. They have a great range of bites and menu items to order and the prices are reasonable as well. The preparation time can get a bit too long when there's a large crowd but apart from that, everything is cool

    Experience was above average with a good customer service. It is placed in a good location. Food was too above average but orders took sometime to arrive. Prices were reasonable and not too expensive.

  • 3/5 kevin s. 1 year ago on Google
    Place is great but the service is a bit poor. Food is tasty but hard to get in touch of a waiter and speed of service seems to be slow. Yes I go there because it shows games on a giant screen. Prices are ok compared to rates in Colombo. The variety of drinks can be upgraded. It's still far more better than the other Machang outlets.

  • 5/5 Sahan B. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place to Grab a beer and chill with friends... food is awesome!!! Totally recommend have a nice chilled out dinner evening. Alone or with friends :-) + it even has a pool table on the 3rd floor so you can play some pool 🎱 as well! 🎱 which I think is awesome! Unfortunately the only complaint I have is the pool table is not maintained... and looks pretty neglected :( and the pool sticks as well... other than that awesome place to chill and Hangout... 8/10

  • 4/5 neranjan r. 1 year ago on Google
    great ambience. food is also tasty. good to have beer. they charge for shots even if u bought a bottle of arrack so the price will be very high compared to other restaurant for liquor. service is quite slow as well

  • 4/5 Gayathri K. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is your regular “බොන joint” for an overall average meal and (IMO) iced down beer. The location is convenient, but there’s no parking area so parking on the road is at your own risk. The bar seems to have been extended in floor space to accommodate more seating, so getting seated on the wooden floor boarded area means you’ll be rattled with every step taken by a waiter or a customer 😁

    The place is overall good. Plus side _ Good service. Most of the food is good ( we tried cheese kottu , bite rice, crispy chicken and chicken kottu.Other than Chicken Kottu everything was excellent. ) Cheese Kottu is must try. NEGATIVE _ This place is on a roof top so outdoor seating is not available . No parking ( you will have to park along main road)

  • 3/5 Vibhushan K. 2 years ago on Google
    Beer prices are excellent, beer quality is however watered down. Food is tasty good value for money but they take forever to make. Waiters have no training or have any idea about basic customer service. Oh and the manager is a very reluctant man.
