    After all these years, London Grill is still able to keep up all the food quality, taste. Service is marvellous, staffs are so attentive to all of their customers. As I don’t eat beef, I can’t comment on that. All these 5 - 6 years, I stick with the Tasmania Salmon, don’t know how they do that! The taste didn’t change at all, so good! That Tempura Prawn is a highlight. Then the lobster soup, cooking in front of you. I almost asked them to cook faster and serve as the smell is so so so good when they were cooking the lobster. All the staffs are with friendly faces, and very attentive. You don’t need to look up where they are for anything. They see what you need and come to you right away. Very comfortable environment. So relax for you to enjoy a good meal! Thanks for keeping all these up!

    Really loved our steak. The appetizers we had were delicious. We had steak tartare and haloumi with honey, and ribeye steak, and mash potatoes. The steaks, the sauces, the mash all were delicious. Excellent service and fine dining experience.

    Honestly it is quite a disappointment. The meal arrived after 1.5 hours, undercooked & cold. The steak wasn't up to mark. The crème brulé was more like a thick custard. The chicken mouse was tasteless. The french onion soup was the only thing that was nice. However, I must note that the staff were very pleasant and trying to be helpful. Tashya serviced us and was extremely friendly. Service gets 5*, but the food wasn't worth the price tag.

    It was a 5 star experience on fine dining. The food was excellent, the service on point. Piano played in the background provided a lovely atmosphere to the whole experience. It's a pricey affair but needs to be enjoyed atleast once

    The service was good and the staff was very friendly. Ordered a Pork grill and a Bush Lamb. Although the food were delicious, the Bush Lamb is not worth the price. The portion was too small for the price charged for it. The Pork was delicious and well worth the money.

    Amazing food and a brilliant dining experience from start to finish, highly recommended to celebrate a special occasion. Everything from the salmon tartrate appetizer to the perfectly cooked steak and the palate cleansers between courses were executed brilliantly. The service is outstanding and they add to the dining experience with the steak carved at the table and I highly recommend an Irish coffee to end the meal which is also prepared tableside with a flourish.

    What a fantastic restaurant! The ambiance was great, I loved the live piano playing in the background. The service was phenomenal, and the food was exceptional. I would 100% go there again! Just what my wife and I needed after a stressful day.

    BEST steakhouse and fine dining establishment in Colombo!!! Loved it!!! Top notch service - you don't have to struggle to get attention from your server and yet you're given plenty of breathing room to have a sense of privacy during your meal. Anything extra we asked for as accompaniments were provided no questions asked. Had the lobster bisque as an appetiser - great if you really enjoy a strong rich, creamy seafood infused soup with a light texture of broiled shredded lobster through it. For my main I enjoyed a Magret de Canard - you can specify the cook of it and I requested a Berry compote to be added on the side. The duck breast itself was fresh and supple (considering it was most likely imported) and portioning was very on point. Desert was dinner and a show with a rich Baked Alaska! In between each round we were provided with palate cleansers - a savoury carrot mousse and a berry sorbet. Excellent coffee with decaffeinated options to finish and some mini icy chocs complimentary with the bill. Price wise not your daily indulgence, but if you're looking to spoil yourself it's value for money - relative to some other steakhouses that really amount to gastropub menus with often many of their best items out of stock or unavailable.

    An exceptional fine dining experience. Wonderful ambience with lovely live piano playing in the background. The food and drink were simply divine. Top-notch service - the staff made sure we were comfortable at every moment. The experience was just heavenly. Possibly the best restaurant in Colombo.

    Used to be my favourite stake joint in Colombo but the quality of their food has gone down now. I recently ordered their Beef Wellington and I enjoyed the puff pastry part more than the meat; so that should tell you something. PS: The service was excellent though. It has always been.

  • 4/5 Nevin 1 month ago on Google • 9 reviews New
    Service was good and the atmosphere was great, but the dry aged steak was below average. The quality of the meat was not great, the steak was under cooked (asked for medium rare which should be around 125-130F, but it was a lot closer to blue rare about 110-115F. The steak also had no crust and was not cooked in enough fat.

    Food was to die for and the service was top notch. Dessert took a little longer, but no complaints, as they gave it to us on the house😌.

  • 4/5 Shani F. 8 months ago on Google • 5 reviews
    The food was delicious but definitely more on the expensive side. They started off with complimentary garlic bread and buns with a trio of herbed butters for the table, followed by a fresh lime palate cleanser prior to serving the main meals. A complimentary chocolate covered ice cream was served as dessert. The food was tasty, the plating was done well, and the ambience was romantic. The only issue I had was the high price of the food. There were not many options for my husband in terms of gluten free items but the staff were able to put together a basic salmon dish with an olive oil dressing for him. The staff were attentive and we enjoyed the live piano music as well.

    The food was absolutely delicious and lived up to the fine dining tag. The restaurant combines a luxurious feel with a relaxed ambiance. Really proffessional and a phenomenal service by Mr Pradeep. The dining experience overall is very pleasant. I highly recommend this restaurant.

  • 3/5 Muru 2 months ago on Google • 4 reviews New
    Went especially to try out the dry aged meats during the limited time promotion, and ordered several dry aged steaks as marked on the special menu. The meats were very flavourful and perfectly grilled to the correct degrees. At the end of our meal however we learned that the beef steaks were not in fact dry aged after all. Quite deceiving, given that the focus was introducing and promoting dry aged (minimum 14 days, ideally over 21 days) meats, which they never had. Good service despite being a busy night.

    Loved the cosy ambiance and service was great! Definitely a fine dining experience. Food was average, nothing too special although attention to plating was met. Would recommend their roast duck (slightly on the salty side)
