This is a pure vegetarian restaurant. Parking can be a hassle here. So better plan for parking in case you don't get to the restaurant car park. The ambiance is good. You have an A/C dining room option which is upstairs. I am amazed by the speed the ordered food came. Must be less than 7 minutes. Their service is great. The quality and taste of the food are great. Quantity is also good. Affordable price range and they have many dishes to choose from, mostly indian. Highly recommend this place if you want to try vegetarian options.

Super delicious pure vegetarian authentic Indian foods available. Size of the portion is sufficient for two people. Price is very reasonable. Staff also very efficient. We purchased biriyani and mishroom rice.Among them, biriyani is the best..♥️ 12.01.2024-Same condition/ AC dinning area at the 1st floor.

This is a pure veg restaurant at Colombo. The place has a non-ac seating arrangement at the ground floor and an ac one on the top floor. Seating arrangement is moderate in capacity. We had north Indian & south Indian thalis, different types of dosas and lassi. The food was below average and did not taste significantly good. The worst part was the service. They took around 45min-1hour to serve food. Price is average as well. The please is pretty clean though and staff are welcoming

Delighted with the exceptional experience at the vegetarian restaurant! The garlic dosa and ghee dosa were flavorsome delights, and the sweet lassi was absolutely superb. A must-visit for anyone seeking delicious vegetarian options. Gulab jamun was average. Totally satisfied. Staffs were amazing. Prices were very good comparing to other vegetarian restaurants. I will definitely will visit again with my whole family. Thanks guys❤️

Super food items can eat here and all foods are vegetarian 🥑 so highly recommended for vegetarian people for this restaurant and they provide good customer service

Visited here after a while And this time, we tried their Special Fried Rice and The Special Kottu So far, the best rice and kottu I've ever had and ordered the paneer 65, and it paired well with them! Sri vihar has never failed to amaze us and I highly doubt that they'll fail to amaze you'll so just give it a try! Was super happy and satisfied with what we ordered Will be back for more Cheers Keep up guys

The food is delicious but, in terms of quality it's a bit questionable. I bought panneer, butter naan, chickpea curry and ulundu wadei, the panneer had a few small pieces of panneer, the rest was okay. The kitchen itself doesn't really look sanitary, I noticed that none of the kitchen staff wore hair nets or gloves and saw the naan being touched bare handedly by a helper (red flags considering the pandemic and other obvious health reasons.) The service was good, the atmosphere in the restaurant was okay too, very homey. The sweets are a must try (got it as take away) The peda, the range or barfi and the laddo is to die for 😩

Great place. Pure veggie restaurant. Famous among young and old crowd. Friendly staff. Parking available right at the front. One more car park available right next to the restaurant.

Great place for Indian foods; which has more than 12 years of history. If you are searching for a place for vegetarian food, this is the best place. Sri Vihar newly opened they're upstairs with air-conditioning facilities. Now you can taste Indian foods with high comfort. Such a lovely and comfortable place with a nice road view.

I and my family visited Sri Vihar for lunch after long time, it was a delightful experience. The food was delicious and yammy . The customer service was exceptional, and the staff were friendly. The portion sizes were perfect, the prices were reasonable for an Indian dining experience visit Sri Vihar at least for once.

No words to describe the taste of their food. I have visited this place several times and the taste was always the same. Their service is very quick although it is crowded most of the times which is really great. Place is very clean and tidy. But the atmosphere is bit noisy as a result of the high crowd. They have a parking in-front of the shop which is sufficient for around 6 or 7 vehicles. And they also have a separate parking area which is around 50m away from the restaurant.

This place truly deserves 5 stars. Top quality tasty food with very reasonable prices. If someone's looking for a high quality meal for a small budget this is the place 👌🏽

It's my 3rd visit. The food is fantastic just the service is abit slow. But worth for their thali and dose dishes and vadai. Love it.

Fully Vegetarian restaurant with various selections of Indian food for breakfast, lunch and dinner(Starters,Rice,desserts,soft drinks) Good service and food served hot. Parking slots available and additional parking also available for more vehicles. Located in Sri Sambuddha Jayanthi Mawatha, Colombo, Western Province.

My visited was a delightful experience. The menu offered a wide range of options, from vadai ,talis to sweets. The food was fresh and flavorful, with a good balance of spices and seasonings. The service was attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious vegetarian meal.

I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. All the dishes are vegetarian and they all taste really good. The prices are fair for the portion sizes. They only have air conditioning in the upstairs area so definitely head up there.

Great vegetarian food menu. Had dinner there with friends. So much affordable. So tasty and so much full of healthy food.

Some damn good Indian food! That paper doosai is just so ghee-fully crispy and just loads of yum, and imagine that with a side of spicy paneer... woof woof... this is proper Indian where you will never ever miss eating meat again!

Tasty indian food ,specialy there thali is best,and faluda drink is fabulous .love to eat there indian food .

Great indian taste

Nice place Clean and friendly staff.. Reasonable prices.. Taste also good..

I ordered Kaju Onion Rava Dosai and a Chocolate Lassi. Dosai was tasty and the price was okay. Not satisfied with the cleanliness when compared to other restaurants in the neighborhood. Staff was friendly. The place used to be much better in 2019 and would have definitely given a 5 star back then.

Pure vegetarian Indian restaurant in Colombo. Food is so yummy. Reasonable prices. Suitable for every one. Location is ideal but difficult to park in rush times. We ordered samosas it was so yummy and the sauce they give with it is awesome. It is sweet and spicy mix and it is so delicious. Highly recommend.

One of the good place in Colombo to have vege meals, snacks and desserts. Prices are moderate. Their Sri Vihaar special biriyani and fried rice are good in taste. They add more cauliflower, panner and mushroom to create more value. Milkshake was not that much tasty. Their dosa is also good. No air conditioner. Customer service has to be improved.

Best food 🥺❤ good service ❤ if you want try Tamil Food ❤ go

I recently had the opportunity to dine at this Indian restaurant and the food was absolutely delicious. The restaurant is 100% pure vegetarian, which was a big plus for vegan people. The menu had a great selection of dishes. The flavors were rich and bold, and I found myself savoring every bite.The atmosphere of the restaurant was also noteworthy. It was a calm and peaceful environment. The staff was also very friendly. Overall, highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a fantastic Indian dining experience.

I would highly recommend this place. They have North Indian, South Indian food for reasonable price. I ordered South Indian Thali and it was very tasty. Staff is also so nice. They help you to choose food.

Server was nice and provided quick service. The food was amazing! You don't miss meat when the vegetables are this delicious. The North Indian Thalli was really good. You get rasam, some main dishes, and a halwa dessert. Tons of rice and naan leave you feeling full but not overstuffed. The masala tea and mango lassi were also very nice. The table was HUGE! Lots of legroom and space for the large thallis. The lower floor is not cooled. It felt super hot. I recommend going upstairs to the air-conditioned floor. Prices are very affordable. I'll be back a few more times while I'm in Colombo!!

No place serve this kinda vegetarian foods. Still continue to go... Had 10 15 times dine in.. highly recommend for vegetarian lovers

The taste and quality of food has deteriorated since we dined last at this restaurant. The hand wash area was unclean and totally neglected. Waiting time for order to come through is due to short of staff and maybe due to situations pertaining to Covid. If the outlet is in operation, it's important to maintain your standards.

Sri Vihar, does live upto its hype in tasty vegetarian food. The ambience is not that great, the prices are a little too inflated, the service is just about alright. If you are a meat lover, this probably isn't the best place for you. All in all, not a bad place for a rushed lunch in the heart of Colombo.

Crispy ghee thosai, crispy ulundu wadai, yummy samosa, tasty mango lassi. Enjoyed my meal with my mum.

Nice place to eat fully vegetarian foods on Indian style. Inside the restaurant look very old. And emple parking not available. But food with excellent test. You should visit Sri Vihar to enjoy and food test.

Real Indian restaurant where you can have delicious vegetarian foods.

One of the best vegetarian foods 😋 you can have at this place and also price is really worth for tge food...place located at near thunmulla junction....

We have ordered mashroom fried rice today. Very disappointed without salt in food.

Price worth. Fully vegetarian Delicious foods

The best Vegetarian hotel....

I vist this place regularly. Good price good food.

Vegetarian superb

They don't even care if a customer comes to order food

Good service

Good 👍

Food is avarage ,nothing special ... Simple Vegetarian rice and curry is Rs 450.. Thats a joke .. Never again

Very bad. Food was not tasty at all.

Good Indian food

Not clean enough, staff not friendly enough

Loved sambar....

Good stuff, great menu and food was delicious

Clean, delicious food & quick service..Ulundu Wadai is much pricy though..

The location to most will be remembered as the "Shanthi Vihar".. possibly a new owner and new name. Food is good and service is fast, can be a bit too spicy for some. Prices are in the mid range and cheaper than some other options such as dwaraka. Parking is a problem as it's a very congested area, so best if you can take a cab or uber.. or pop on an order and pickup in 30mins

Better to go with table reservation... If Ur planning to go on peek hour.. service is not so good but food is v nice

Good location. Decent place good Indian food.

Good service

The price is high, the food is not tasty and the quantity given is not enough

There was flash floods in the car park. Still food was delivered to me tasted very good.

Moderate food but totally worth the price. Bit crowded. Friendly staff.

Tasty vegetarian food Reasonable price Plenty space Little car park

Used to be god but not anymore

Best Veg Restaurant. Friendly staff

Less parking area. Maxmun 4 car

(Translated by Google) Awesome veg biriyani (Original) Awesome vegi biriyani

Poor Quality of food. the freshness was not there at all

Good food

Very disappointed. Ordered my pregnant wife some uludu wada it was fried with old oil. Tea was not hot. Waiters are unpleasant. Will not go back. It was my childhood memory place done with it now.

Although the food is delicious and not that expensive, the customer service has decreased. Took a long time to serve food and the upstairs space is not available now.

Ordered via Uber eats today. Horrendous experience. The food was literally cold. Very disappointed experience.We can't believe a reputed and leading vegetarian shop like Sri Vihar will send food prepared earlier or food that wasn't freshly prepared.

One of the busiest vegetarian restaurant in the town. Foods are very tasty with comparatively low price. Customer service could be improved. lack of parking space. Recommended.

Food are delicious. But place is not much neat.

Absolutely awesome food variety. Food is tasty. Restaurant seems busy and no air conditioning. Staff is friendly and helpful!

Best vegetarian food for.... great hospitality and services. Nice environment for relaxing and enjoyable. I love the taste of vada and paroda the best combination for breakfast. Available all kind of pure vegetable foods with affordable prices. Especially milk is superb👌. Great restaurant.

Really good place! Food is good! Fair price. Can improve service by a bit. Recommend.

Today i ordered Gobi butter masala and paneer chettinar with special Biriyani. Gobi was half cooked and paneer very small pieceses, both gravy no taste at all. I use to love the food they prepare. But not any more Im not happy with today's food.

The service was great, the place was good and the food was great... Once a waiter takes your order, he is dedicated to serve you well, and thats exactly what our waiter did too... There was no delay in food, we got everything within 10 - 15 minutes after we ordered. The food was fresh and tasted well. We were lucky enough to get seats as soon as we went there. During peak hours (specially with the limited seating rule), you might have to wait until a table is free. Bottom line: it was a thumbs up experience overall

I was there a couple of months back and had the absolute bad experience of life first and foremost the place is dark and looks dirty Tables and chairs were somehow nasty cleaned by just a clothe after one customer to another without a proper sanitisation Plates were wiped with a clothe which looked dirty too Food we ordered was tasty but extremely over priced My only concern at this place is lack of proper hygienic protocols Im sure there's no need to mention about how clean the washroom was if the above mentioned details were such They had good space for parking

Great food. Fast service. I recommend it!

Nice place.. Going there from my childhood..! although back then it was a different management..

Very tasty food for vegetarians. Good service and healthy

Colombo's best indian vegetarian restaurant, nostalgic location, great food and hygiene

It is a vegetarian restaurant. Bit pricey but Good quality food and services. If you want the tastiest food in town this is NOT the place, but for casual eating definitely worth for recommendations. I'm giving 4 stars 🌟 based on Customer services, they are very quick and friendly. Food wise it's worth for 3.5 🌟

Good place to have a meal. Pure vegetarian the mushroom rice dish is delicious. Only problem is not much space for parking in front. Have to go a bit further and park the vehicle.

Good restaurant. South Indian and tasty food items enjoyed.

One of the best vegetarian restaurants in town, and this place got a history of decades. Delicious food, in right portion on each plate for a reasonable price. Easy access from the main road and dedicated parking can manage easily. More than takeaway dine in recommending.

Delicious, takes too much times to prepare orders. costly but not manageable specially in busy time. poor service for delivery, long outstanding ques for paid customers.

It was some time ago, but I enjoyed

Recommend for vegetarian. Tasty food. I recommend mushroom rice

Love the place. Enjoyed the meal. Would recommend this place for anybody.

Very crowded and high in demand place. You will have to wait for long during lunch hours. However, for the wait the food was not amazing enough. If you have already had South Indian food in India, then this place will surely disappoint you. The quality of dosa and curries is nowhere close to what you find in any roadside eatery in Tamil Nadu.

Real indian receipies, worth the price for your Spending.

Authentic food with good price. We liked it 👍🏻

A little on the pricy but the food quality and quantity is good.

Tastey food. Even though promised to give within 15mints for take away it will take 1/2 hour to collect foods. Can place order before visiting the place for take way

Nice place to have an authentic indian meal. Place is crowded sometimes. Better check before you go.

Guess what? Anyone can afford a meal here. Me being a giant, couldn't finish my meal which was only 450 rupees. They have more than 50 varieties of vegetarian Indian food on their menu and one of the best veg meals I have had in years. The restaurant is packed during lunch hours and you might know why now, coz it's affordable. I'm sure if you go here that you will enjoy your meal as much as I did. Try it ✌🏽

This place goes bonkers during peak hours. With peak summers on, the ceiling fans just pass by the hot air. Ambience is ok. Food taste is good. Typical Indian flavors you will get.. Cleanliness don't expect much, the table can be sticky too.

Service was relatively fast for a mid range budget vegetarian/ South Indian restaurant. Was crowded. The conditions are not for luxury dining. The Indian dishes were OK but the fried rice was not the best. Has been my choice for paper dosa for over three decades but the green chutney and watery sambol taste was not what i remember.

Food was delicious. We weren’t sure what to expect. I was hoping for idly but they offer that after 4:00pm and we came at 2:00pm. So we had dosa instead and it was delicious with the chutney combos. We will definitely return next time we’re in town.

Authentic delicious food that instantly transports you to India! With their simplistic plates and almost utilitarian presentation does not in any way mask the absolutely gorgeous and authentic flavours. Their food is reasonably priced and the portion sizes are superb! A lovely vegetarian experience.

Went for lunch after a very long time to Sri Vihar. We ordered paneer butter Masala, 3 butter naan and two Uludu wade. I used to come here with my dad when I was kid. A lot has changed. Quality of the food has gone down. As you can see in the pictures I have taken a picture of my fingers they have added food colouring 🤷🏽‍♀️ and this is after washing twice. Really disappointing. The paneer butter masala didn’t look or test like a paneer butter masala. The naan was good. So sad I won’t come back here again or recommend the place.

You must try their fried rice and kottu. Full Veg indian restaurant in Sri Lanka and provides fresh and tasty food. Lovely staff and a popular dining place of many within and outside Colombo city. Highly recommended.

It's a pure vegetarian Indian food restaurant in Colombo. It provides authentic delicious foods and fresh juices at a reasonable price. Suitable even for family gatherings. It's spacious inside. But it would be difficult to find a parking space during rush hours. The lassi drink is so delicious and refreshing. Highly recommended.

We went for lunch today to Sri Vihar restaurant in Thummullah Junction and ordered naans and Paneer butter Masala and Chilli Paneer.. the food was terrible where the Paneer butter Masala had curry powder which was not cooked properly and instead of chilli Paneer, they gave me Paneer curry with the curry for mushroom... even when we complained, there was no response from the manager and the worst thing is that they were ignoring us for complaining... we ordered chocolate milkshake and sweet lassi at the beginning and they wouldn't give us that because we complained and after asking for it 3 times... we felt that they could have spit into the drinks so we didn't even touch them ... even the bill was late to come and they charged for everything even though we hardly ate anything... just paid 5000 and asked the manager to give the tips to the owner of the business... its definitely old curry that they are serving when its left over from previous night and I am still having stomach aches and digestion problem... I WILL NEVER EVER GO TO THIS RESTAURANT AGAIN !!! PLEASE AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE !!!

This is a 100% vegetarian Indian restaurant which serves North Indian, south Indian as well as few Sri lankan Dishes. The quality of the food and the ingredients used are really authentic that you can taste them in the food. Price is also very reasonable and while the service is not luxurious, the staff is friendly and give you good recommendations. Must place to visit if you are a vegetarian or vegan.

A 'Must-visit' pure vegetarian restaurant located in Thummulla. Service was straight up and surprisingly fast hence it was well crowded when we were there. And the food was so delicious. Even though we experienced a little difficulty when we trying to park our car I would recommend this place happily.

Always the best place to go if you are a vegetarian. A huge variety of food and everything is amazingly good. My best recommendations is their Chillie parata and puri with butter paneer masala. Place is always crowded and not easy to find space most of the time. Parking is bit of a hassle . Very affordable place to eat.

It’s a great experience. The ambiance is very welcoming and charming. Amazing vegetarian food and service. Staff are extremely knowledgeable and make great recommendations ❤️

Highly recommended 👍 Food is really good. Worth for the price Customer service is really good, 💯 highly appreciated 🙂 Fully Air-conditioned Parking 🅿️ Available

We had good breakfast here , paneer dosa and ghee dosa , puri is good except podi Idly , service should be improve, parking is limited

Highly recommended for pure vegetarian lovers. Food is really delicious. Price was reasonable and friendly staff with good customer service.

Sri Vihar, located in the heart of Colombo, stands as a testament to genuine Indian cuisine, presenting a diverse and mouth-watering array of traditional dishes that encapsulate the rich flavors of India. During my visit on a bustling weekday, I couldn't help but notice the overwhelming patronage, signaling its local renown. Impressively, even amidst such a significant crowd, their service was not just prompt but also efficiently courteous—a feat that is indeed praiseworthy. The entire premises of the restaurant gleamed with cleanliness, showcasing their commitment to offering a pristine dining environment. A minor caveat is the elevated noise level, a natural outcome of its bustling clientele, but this is a small price to pay for the culinary experience. The dishes are not only generous in portion but also reflect a perfect equilibrium of taste and affordability. For vegetarians in particular, or those keen on exploring a vegetarian palate, Sri Vihar isn't just another dining spot—it's an essential gastronomic journey in Colombo.

Recommended Divine Vegetarian Restaurant for Both Dine-in and take away. Located near to thumulla junction. Better to taste Thalis rather than Biriyani
