The same taste since the 1990's i would say Go for it to enjoy some real Indian taste

Looks can be deceiving. Yes. From outside the restaurant looks little neglected. But the taste of the food still great as usual. Ordered a normal dosa. Although little more expensive than the nearby competition, dosa is much bigger and definitely tastier. Also you get several types of chutneys and sambar. The waiting staff, Mr. Algarajah is extremely helpful. One more important thing. Their dining hall is air-conditioned which is a real luxury in a hot and humid day.

Charmingly run-down and clean canteen, dosa and accompanying sauces are great. As others mentioned, paper dosa is your best choice, the masala dosa filling was fine, but I preferred just dosa and sauce (unusually). It was a bit oily, which didn't detract from the taste, but I might ask them to tone it down, too, in the future. At 6pm on a Sunday most dishes apart from the dosa weren't available, so that's what you'd be going here for. Cheap also, at 700rs stuffed between the two of us. Definitely recommended.

Good vegetarian experience.

Been a customer for long and this is the only decent vegetarian restaurant back then. Excellent mouth watering dishes and sweets and a huge book stall is at the from of the hotel. Accommodation is upstairs and though never tried heard it's great as well.

This place should be declared as Historic Monument. Greenlands has never changed since I first visited last Century. Its unique. Great value for money and a marvelous trip into past years.

It's one of the oldest restaurants for thosi idali wadi and many more own by jafnna people. The food is tasty and reasonably price

Nice

Food was very tasty. The paper Dosai and Ulundu vadai was very crisp. The staff were very attentive. The ceiling fans were not clean and full of black dust. The wash basins were not clean. Most of the bulbs were not working. Very dimly lit. The place has lost it's charm. The management needs to clean up the place.

Good hotel starve

This place should be closed, I called in for Poori then I visited the place after 10mins. The person who answered the phone asked me to come. After I placed the order I was told that they are out of the mix for Poori. The place is old, no one cares about maintaining this place anymore

Excellent for vegan, vegetarian dishes and awesome Thosai.

Good south Indian food

A very old restaurant in Colombo. Yet, still serve great food.

Good food

Last decade its number one hotel in Colombo. Now a days its worst. Food quality bad and the takes long time to supply foods. No friendly suppliers

Very bad service,one of the worst vegetarian food we have ever had, dosas were very salty,vadai was stone cold,total run down, very poor options,very bad atitude.as well.

Good place to have you Dosai and Wade. Ask for The masala tea

Poor customer service not answering the phone

Nice vegetarian food, cheap prices and fast service from a small counter. Food served on silver trays with small different accompaniments. There was a family and individuals eating when we were there.

Utterly hopeless place. I have been eating from this place for the last 30 years. Today they served me onion dosai with polsambol ????. Dosai half cooked. Now they dont know what they do. Sad......such a lovely place 30 years ago.

An old restaurant in Colombo. Nice Indian vegetarian food. Good service. Good portions for affordable prices. Their poori and milk tea combo is the best.

Not what I expected. Had to call out for a server. Food was not great. Need to improve a lot to get to former glory.

Food is ok vegetarian only and customer service is very poor... You have to wait around 1hr for the food

Very good food and decent prices. Service is a but slow though and the toilets a bit rudimentary.

This is a very good vegetarian restaurant . Delicious Dosa. The customer care is good Old gentlemen are working with clean dress But the dining are to be maintained well. It look very much depleted AC machines are not working Fans with lot of dust around the blades If not improved the maintenance, this restaurant may die soon

Good restaurant. Good price

Old rustic.. almost run down.. but good was delicious as it has been for the past 65 years

Foods are very testy here and Indian foods are available with favorable prices.

Nice food.but limited food only..would like to HV more variety

Tasty food. Service should improve

Restaurant is no more and I have not tried it out recently. But they have gingerly oil from India and it is very good quality... Price also reasonable (850 LKR)

Great place for a South Indian food

An old restaurant located in Colombo. Provides a good meal at a good cost for anyone looking for a Northern Sri Lanka cuisine. The staff are timely as well.

Not recommended. Standard has gone down very badly. Food is unpalatable and very expensive

Used to be a very famous vegetable restaurant and hotel. Even now not revonated the old rooms without tiles are still there. Food is pretty ok but they don't have all the items listed in the menu. Very slow service. But it's a decent place to have a quick bite.

good service and food

Clean place and good South Indian food

Very good dosai and excellent value for money.

Quality of the food was bad and the place hasn't been renovated in decades!

Very delicious vegetarian food in Colombo

Very arrogant old age waiters , they could spoil your mood

The food is good but clenliness is far below the required standards. Food hygine at its lowest. I cannot coment on the kitchen as it is out of bounds to guest. As per reliable sources the "PHIs" have never sited this place in decades.

It is decent vegetarian restaurant. Dosa iddly type of food for breakfast, string hoppers among indian dishes aviiable for dinner and rice and curry is also for lunch. Meeting rooms are aviiable.

Just called to ask whether they can cater for 28 pax and the person answered was very rude and banged the phone. I hope the food is same as their customer service.

Very nice vegetarian food. One of the best places I have ever been.
