  • 1/5 Visionary D. 4 years ago on Google
    I have visited this place multiple times. Thought of writing a review after hearing from my friend's recent experience with the management. They have put a policy that a person should spend a minimum of Rs.1500. Due to this he had encountered an unpleasant impediment. As a person who had visited over 30 times or more I know about thier menu. It's hard to consume Rs.1500 worth of food as Thier signature dishes are kottu ranging from Rs.600 to Rs.800. When you are having a drink it's more than enough for 2 people. The only dish go beyond 1500 is the BBQ platter which is sufficient for 2 people. I really don't see this as practical solution if you are seeking to increase your revenue streams this is not the way to do it. The pathetic thing is how you have responded to his Google review stating about Sri Lankan mentality. Really Pathetic. We will not visit this place or recommend to anyone.

    Simply awesome. The atmosphere, the staff and the food are on point. Nice for a hangout or a date. Take your own beer! No bar. You have a wide range of food and the amount you pay is worth because of the variety, taste and quantity! Just go and experience this place, you won’t regret it.

    This is the perfect place to go on a date or to have small gatherings with your friends during the night. The food is really great and they have a great variety. The soup and bread starter is one of the best starters I have ever had. The environment is very Serene and the staff is very friendly too. They have a great spaghetti too. I recommend this place to anybody who wants a perfect escape from the busy life.

    Box Colony is a small make-shift restaurant towards Pelawatta in Battaramulla. Not much of an ambiance or variety in the menu. But is good for a quick catching up with friends. Unfortunately the food was a bit bland. Their pasta dishes were really good. They creamy chicken pasta was really good.

  • 5/5 Shilpa G. 4 years ago on Google β€’ 17 reviews
    This is that place, in the middle of the town that has a cozy ambiance. Perfect for a Friday night for in and around Kotte residents. The best thing about them is that you can go with any time of group. May it be a date, you got some corner tables. Double date - cozy sofa.Group of friends - table outside. Family- table for 3:4 people. Now most of it is put in a AC container box with cozy dim warm lights. The food is good enough for the prices they charge. But i think they must improve. So tell them nicely to fix that, i sure did so. Parking will not be a problem in most days but you might have trouble occasionally. You can reserve a table and ask about the situation prior to the visit. And BTW they don’t charge corkage and you can BYOB. Average cost for 4 was Rs.3700. And we had 2 portions of rice, 1 deviled dish and a portion of chicken BBQ with fries. So you decide! Tip : try their Mongolian mix rice and a fish deviled dish. Thats goood.

    Unique place. Container boxes creatively transformed in to a restaurant. You can dine in at out side or inside those air conditioned container box. Food was delicious and the prices were reasonable. Food preparation was quick and took around 15 mins. Dedicated parking is not available however there are parking slots available beside the road.

    Loved this place. Friendly, attentive staff. Lovely food for reasonable prices. Loved their roast paan with mushroom dip & Oreo shake. Lovely ambience. This place was made up of using containers. Have seating areas both inside and in garden area. Can enjoy a quiet & cosy time.

  • 5/5 Tharindu K. 4 years ago on Google β€’ 171 reviews
    Quality of the food: perfect .range of the main menu are limited for dinner. But sides dishes and staters are available less oily but meals should bit warmer. Value of the money. Quantity more than enough for two people. Quality of service: very pleasant.good atmosphere. No service charge. Most of items made by wage products. Eg. seats ,tissue holder. It's perfect. Thank you for your perfect service and delicious food.i had so lovely evening in this place. recommende for couples.

  • 5/5 Ashane G. 5 years ago on Google β€’ 117 reviews
    Very friendly staff. I was very happy with the customer service. I wanted the BBQ platter but it turns out that it was only available over the weekend, however the owner still didn’t say no she still prepared a BBQ platter for me and it tasted amazing. Prices are also really reasonable tbh a lot less expensive that most other places. You guys could definitely charge a lot more for that platter.

  • 3/5 Jayantha b. 5 years ago on Google β€’ 37 reviews
    Restaurant with a different theme. Out door and indoor seating available. Need to organize little more adding some glamour & value. Services also take time with less staff. Food is tasty and prices are reasonable.

  • 4/5 Marina A. 4 years ago on Google β€’ 27 reviews
    Love the new urban setting at Box Colony. The burger was juicy and filling. Totally worth for 800 LKR. Although it is a place where smoking is allowed, they did not have any ash trays. The staircase for the upstairs dining area was rather confusing as it was located right by a pathway from the main entrance. BYOB and great place to hang out with friends for a relaxed meal.

  • 3/5 Dinuka L. 4 years ago on Google
    Great concept. I loved the ambiance of the place. I guess this is great place to hang out with your friends. The food was fine and the service was great. They actually serve food fast. You can smoke at outdoors and they allow BYOB as well. On my second day we ordered honey pork, it was over roasted and dry. And the potatoes served with it was absolutely tasteless.

  • 5/5 praveen b. 4 years ago on Google

    No value for money

  • 3/5 Mahesha J. 5 years ago on Google β€’ 7 reviews
    Box Colony has a nice laid back, chilled out vibe, perfect for a hang out session after work. The menu is not extensive and no alcohol is served. But you can bring your own drinks.. the lady running the place brought us nicely chilled glasses for the white wine. This place outside of Colombo is a perfect addition to the cute little places springing up in Thalawathugoda.

  • 3/5 Pemindu D. 4 years ago on Google
    Nicely built on container boxes with a rustic atmos. Visited the place several times recently but they've failed to be consistent in all aspects. Service.... food taste... preparation time.... Highly potential with right management.
