    Well, like one two years ago, I was a regular customer here. And recently visited again and I'd say I was really disappointed. First of all, they had changed the lounge setting to a regular restaurant setting. And most of all, I was a huge fan of their brownie shake. But yesterday I was totally disappointed. The price of the brownie shake has increased to 850, which is very fair. But it was just a very ordinary chocolate milkshake. They said now we have to pay extra for whipping cream also. And it didn't taste the same at all. Two scoops of chocolate ice cream were there. And I could just clearly identify the taste of melted chocolate ice cream. No brownie. That was not at all a brownie shake. Was really disappointed. On the other hand we had chicken Lasagna and some sort of a chicken submarine I can't remember the exact name. Those were good and fair portion, worth the price. Lasagna was really good. 4/5. Just, very disappointed about the brownie shake!! And there were flies flying around. You don't expect flies to be seen in this kind of a restaurant.

    A wonderful place to hangout with family members. Interior is nice and cozy not like the outside view. The FOOD! Food was just as they were described in pictures very temptating And delicious too. And compared to most restaurant around colombo this is one of the places where food was served at a reasonable price.

    Used to be a good place. But not anymore. 23.10.29 Had small- strawberry roasted chicken pizza. Crust was light, baked, fluffy, and cheese pull was good. Flavours of the toppings could be elevated more if they went with a strawberry balsamic sauce to glaze the chicken. Tried their chicken lasagna , and it was in a bright luminous orange colour bath of cheese sauce (no it wasn't a Halloween special disguise) , and lasagna was too soggy. There weren't any layers at all. Wish they served sauce separate so people could serve them as they like. Drinks are on more sweeter side. iced coffee frappe tasted like papaya instead being creamy.

    You can go and show off with pics. But as a experienced food traveler this is not up to taste as it appears in photos. also now this place is not like in pictures. burger and submarine bun is primary level. But portion is good. When I visit there are no tables. It was a very bad experience and their staff support was very poor if you are planning to go you have to reserve your table if not don't expect your food with smile 😁. We had our dish with very bad mood. They didn't support to give a table.

    Went there for dinner with 2 of my friends. There are lots of meal choices available with drinks. Table service is available. Staff is friendly and supportive. Accepts both cash and cards. Parking was available in front of the restaurant. Meals were good in size as well as in taste. Loved it. Recommend.

    Good and delecious food, presentation is the best and worth the money spent. Great for a small family outing 😊 Still a part of the restaurant is under construction, will be a better place to hangout later in future. 🤘🏽

  • 3/5 charith k. 8 months ago on Google
    At first glance as you enter you are greeted by the smell of freshly baked breads and the expectations then onwards are very high! There is a bustling bakery at the entrance and plenty of food moving and the display items are very well priced and very presentable. Through a door on the left you get to the lounge itself with the restaurant menus and an open plan kitchen which is nice to see. They have downsized their menu with sharpie but we decided to ignore this and ordered one main, one side, and a couple of milkshakes. Mains: we got a lamb burger which was covered in a cheese sauce that was borderline cheese flavoured. 6/10 because the bun was perfect and the meat was fresh. Side: loaded fried which was surprisingly large and topped with a delicious kochchi mash. 8/10 Shakes: sadly these were disappointingly watery with an underwhelming scoop of ice cream on top. 2/10. They were slightly understaffed when we visited but the staff were relatively friendly despite being scarce. Saved the place for their bakery.

    Good place for hangouts. Not that expensive.. Can have a reasonable portion for a affordable price. But they take much longer time to prepare foods. That's the only negative thing I experienced. Nevertheless, foods are tasty. If can, I could have given 4.5 stars.

  • 4/5 Saif T. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is wonderful. Food portion, taste, quality, presentation, pricing and serving time was spot-on. Restaurant ambience, parking facilities and seating capacity was perfect. Their staff lacked professionalism, low in customer service and management. Maybe its their start up stage. Building rennovation was in progress when visited. Would recommend the place for their food but dont expect restaurant standard service.

    Lounge 171 is an excellent choice for Chicken Lasagna and Thin Crust Pizza. We have been frequenting this establishment for over five years. It’s a great spot for couples and to hang out with friends. However, we have noticed a change in the staff’s demeanor, which was not the case in the past. Despite that, the food remains delicious, and the ambiance is calm

    Not an overcomplicated menu, but some real good all rounded food. You get a great value for your money, and the food is quite good. The service is also excellent from the young polite and professional staff. Great for a quiet dinner out with your significant other, as that was what the ambience around us was.

  • 5/5 Jayani K. 10 months ago on Google
    My favourite restaurant/ lounge. I have been coming to 171 for years, I’ve ate their short eats since I was a kid and is used to be called “Chandrasiri Bakery”. So many fond memories and they’re only getting better. I’ve had their hot butter cuttlefish pizza and it was amazing. My go-to has been the margarita burger which is the best vegetarian burger I’ve had, so much so that my non-veg friends love it too. The restaurant serves the best cheese kottu, I’m not a kottu fan but I’ll happily chow down one from here. They also used to have an amazing baked blueberry cheesecake at the lowest price you would find around. The prices are higher than what it used to be. But something I’ve noticed over the 15 or more years of coming to this establishment is that they try to be as reasonable as they can with their pricing. So while it definitely seems like a lot more now, you are getting a good deal for what you’re receiving which are big portions, good quality ingredients and incredible taste. I keep singing praise for this establishment and keep coming back. Seriously, a well kept secret if you ask me.

    Nice place but but not good much as i imagin. staff is good and food is little expensive not bad with lovely decorations. Lounge is repairing these days (2022.05) so we can't get photos as we wish. I think it will be better after that.

  • 4/5 Maharu A. 1 year ago on Google
    Use to order pizzas from here , once a month for a TV series binge session . The quality and taste was supreme for the price (on the same price bracket of pizza hut) back in 2019-2020. But the prices hiked and price doesn't correlate with the pizza anymore . But I still recommend to try them atleast once ,since its once of the high ranked pizzerias in my opinion .

  • 5/5 Pathum S. 3 years ago on Google
    Amazing food as usual. Coffee was also great! Even better than most of the coffee places in Colombo. Only recommendation is to perhaps give the cheese separately so we can avoid a very messy eating experience 😅

    I went to give a mini birthday surprise to one of my besties. We were astonished with the variety of food items and took some time to order. We ordered one chicken nuggets portion and the chillie chicken submarine which tasted so yummy. I would rate 9.5 out of 10. And the surprise went really well. They arranged a song, the cake with letter art. It was just a perfect evening full of fun❤️. We enjoyed a lot. The ambiance was just splendid👌🏼.

    Best cafe ever..reasonable prices. I ordered a seafood pizza. But they mistakenly provide a wrong pizza. Then I informed them. Then, they provide me that correct pizza for free. Foods are very tasty and cheesy. Highly recommend this place.

    I recently visited a lounge 171 near Maharagama, and it was an absolute delight! The crispy chicken burgers were super duper tasty, the cuttlefish pizza was fantastic, and the beverages were superb. The cleanliness, top-notch service, and delicious food make this place a must-visit. Highly recommend for a delightful dining experience!
