    Not recommended for Dine In.. 🤮 Ordered Chicken Palandi portion.. Chicken must be refrigerated more than one month.. Ordered a Chicken Creamy Soup but they served a Creamy Mutton soup which is horrible.. 🤢 Most disgusting soup I have ever seen.. Soup spoon looks like not been washed for a decade.. 😑Boneless fried rice is somewhat okay but not the best.. Most of the dishes in the menu are not available.. 🫤 you’ll charge Affordable prices with a good portion.. 💰 There’s space for about 12 people at a time.. Juices are not tasty as expected.. 😵‍💫 Do not dine in there unless no restaurant open in the whole country.. •Food - 3/10 🍜 •Service - 5/10 👩🏻‍🍳 •Cleanliness - 3/10 🧹

    Went here twice for lunch. The place is usually crowded. Downstairs has seating without AC whilst upstairs there is a dining area with AC. The restaurant is not exactly clean, but decent enough. Seats are not too comfortable and worn out. The glasses kept for water were also not clean. But they do keep sealed bottles of water at each table so you don't have to worry about the quality of the water. Prices are reasonable and food tastes good. The servers are also helpful and will ensure that you have a good experience. Once you order food is brought pretty quickly. Food served is not hot but at a reasonable level that it doesn't seem stale.

    Food is bad taste, full of MSG and salt, small portion for the price, Food hygiene is not good enough. I thought this place was really good as few years back. Trust me , I will not visit this place fora very long time. Really disappointed with the food quality. Wash rooms were not cleaned. Bad atmosphere. Not recommended anymore. 24.06.2022

    A famous budget resturant near townhall, colombo. Recently I tried chicken and sea food chopsuey rice and Seafood Noodles. The noodle was delicious but the portion size was not satisfied. The chopsuey rice is not recommended according to my taste.... Yet the atmosphere and the service is quite good.....

    I just now got my food , I check the reviews before and thought it will be good so ordered a thandoori buriyani but chicken was not fully cooked . Really disappointed ☹️. Was very hungry that’s why order but now it’s like I couldn’t eat and it’s waste of money . Very sad. Maybe I was the last order so chefs make it fast which didn’t cooked the chicken properly.

    Highly Recommended . If you wanna have tasty foods for reasonable price please try Sulthan Palace. My favorite place since 2018. Up to now I go to Sultjan Palace to have food.

    Prior to make any orders here, ask whether charges mentioned in the menu is right or wrong. We had an argument on wrong charges. These ppl charge 100 rupees extra as AC cabin fee if you use the upstair (AC). This ridicules. Apart from that never order spegati from this place, it's not tasty al all.

    I went to First Floor AC Restaurant 😄. The upstairs remain calm and the sevice Is ok. However ,the roof seems very old. I ordered many dishes on by one and the waiting time is ok . The Chettiand Beaf curry is spicy and tasty . However ,it doesn't tally the price ( less quantity of beaf ) . I've also ordered Garlic Nan and I've not seen Garlic here . Poor Naan . They should improve the quality of Naan. The management should be more responsible when it comes to clean environment . The Ground floor Remains noisy .I should also wanted to see the kitchen of this restaurant. It seems poorly maintained . However , I didn't get a chance to visit the kitchen . The price doesn't match the quality . However , it remains one of the place to taste Indian food in Colombo 7 .

    Busy place. Nice location Extensive menu. We loved the chicken biriyani Also loved the ghee rice. Good for take away as done in facilities are not recommended. Since it is a place where customers come a lot, cleanliness is essential. Cleanliness is minimal as far as I've seen, less cleaning of the chairs tables, and would be nice if the servers could do their duties more conscientiously. It is important for hoteliers not only to look at revenue, but to follow cleanliness and proper guidelines.

    Superb place to have a meal in Townhall area. Specially try their cheese chicken palandy kottu, that was fantastic and superb. All of their cheese kotthu's are fantastic. Friendly staff and everything was good. Don't forget that they don't offer hot beverages. And also drinking water also chargeable.

    We ordered their sawan chicken biryani. There were a lot of meat options. Food was tasty. It was more than enough for a bunch of eight. Even though upstairs had A/C , it was not clean. They had not even cleaned the tables. Staff is helpful.

  • 1/5 Вера �. 1 year ago on Google
    Awful place. Huge menu, but nothing available except chicken. Soups smell like dirty rag, tastes the same. Really small portions. And even chicken really dry and overcooked. Dessert brings in plastic case, like I just bought it in store. It’s obviously impossible to eat their kottu. It’s bones in it! It tastes raw. And 500 LKR plus for AC! WHAT? I live in Sri Lanka 3 month, but this is first time I see AC tax and such a bad kottu. Aghh

    Not a genuine place. I ordered beef fried rice yesterday night but there were very few small beef pieces in that. Taste was very ordinary. And it was cost 650 Rupees. I have doubts about the cleanliness also. Think twice before visit.

    Their Biriyani is a must try, service is excellent, this place have never let me down.. always the quality and the quantity of the food have been fabulous. reasonable prices, Only issue is lack of parking space, but most of the time you get someone outside the restaurant to help you to park and to get your car out onece you are finished having your meals.. all in all Highly recommend

    Am in love with their flavours. Naan and biryani are my favorite. Masala chicken is also a top notch. They have a variety of beverages as well, both hot and cool. Highly recommended. Prices are also much reasonable.

    It was the worst experience ever. I visited this place with my friends last night since one of my friends wanted to try this out. We had to wait a few mins to get a proper place for parking. Then, the first impression is pretty bad since the atmosphere is very stinky inside. If i was alone, i would have made a big u turn from there. Then we ordered kottu with several varities...1 Veg, 1 cheese chicken, 1 egg cheese, and 1 normal egg kottu. Honestly, both cheese kottu portions are ok. Its edible and I would rate it 6/10. But veg kottu is like a mess...its filled with so many types of vegetables that are not used to make kottu...its like all the waste from curries of the day put in there..even green beans also there which are overcooked..taste is barely acceptable..But the worst one is notmal egg kottu...im pretty sure they didn't added any egg in there.. we told that to one of the waiter and he said its mixed..Then we asked to show him can u find any clue in the portion that eggs are included...He was speechless and ran away..Such a 3rd class peoples who cheating for eateries of the people.. i don't recommend anyone to go in there...

    We went to this place by the recommendation of a friend and set upstairs, The upstairs not brings the feeling of a restaurant. Just tables,chairs and you can see many take away boxes. The uncle(idk his name) can speak all three languages(S,T,E) and seemd good guy. We ordered; 1.Beef 65 - As I eat beef usually I will not recommend this food because I didn't feel that I'm eating beef there's no taste,(2/5) 2.Pudina naan, Garlic butter naan was okay we liked it,(4/5) 3.Tandoori chicken briyani- Rice is over cooked and Tandoori chicken was not really nice.(3/5) 4.Varutha mutton curry- It was good, grave was really nice with naan bread.(5/5) 5. I wanted to drink a milk tea but they didn't have it somehow they arranged it for us from the next door. That would be too great of them. We appreciate their job.(5/5) 6. Sultan special mixed soup was okay (4/5)

  • 2/5 Rizka J. 5 months ago on Google
    Today (22.10.2023) evening, i placed an order at Sulthan Palace for 3 chicken kotthus and 1 beef kotthu. I chose the full portion instead of the normal size. Even though the food was tasty, the portion size of the kotthu was considerably small. We pay for extra food but still get served very little. I hope they dont continue this in the future.

    One of the late night operating restaurant in the hearts of Colombo. Meals are averaged price. Cleanliness is average not that clean and appealing. Ground floor is not air conditioned. Table Service is available. Accepts cash and cards. Meals are delicious in comparison to the similar category restaurants. Free of charge parking is available outside the restaurant.
