  • 4/5 Praveen De S. 2 years ago on Google
    Heard it's being 2 years since they started.. This is basically a food court outside a shopping mall.. The concept is also quite great.. Self service.. One payment location.. Multi cuisine to suit all your taste buds.. From. Pizza to BBQ.. To Thai.. Indian.. Chinese.. Then basic Coffeehouse stuff.. The seating area is gorgeous...so.much greenery.. Has a artistic vibe..they said you are allowed BYOB.. But they have a minimum bill per person which is actually good to maintain standards.. And filter out a good crowd.. It's a nice concept.. Calm location.. Try it out.. If you are with a group with diverse tastes..

    There are about 5 Restaurants inside this. Like a food court. There’s pizza & pasta restaurant, the mango tree outlet, Jack tree restaurant outlet and BBQ and also dessert and beverages shop. There’s BYOB. Tried food from the mango tree and Pizza. Food is delicious and fresh. Good calm environment, has a country-side feeling though it is inside a busy city because of the huge trees and the calm vibe. Recommended.

    A nice place to enjoy your time with friends. Simply the place is like a food court but the vibe is unique. Calm ambience with lovely decorations. They have transformed old sewing machines into tables and it was really fascinating. You have to order by yourself and there is only one central paying point for all shops. A little bit annoyed with that process but still manageable. We ordered pizza from Cafe Michaelangelo and it was okay. It was thin crust and a little over burnt at the edges but we reckon that's due to the firewood furnace. Kiwi Virgin mojito and Vanilla milkshake were really delicious from the Bibos Cafe. The prices were relatively quite high but the service should be appreciated. Mosquitos were a HUGE problem as we went there in the evening. Limited parking spaces. Hope to be there again.

    Nice atmosphere. Friday nights they have a live band to smooth over your food with some jazz music.

    Wow! The atmosphere here is awesome. You'll feel like home, although it's right in the middle of one of the busiest cities in srilanka. It's home to around 5 famous restaurants. It has a variety of cuisines like Indian, Thai, Mexican and Italian. Prices are on the higher side, but it's worth it because it has a unique vibe. It is BYOB so you can have a great time with your family and friends. Great location, ample parking! Card offers for some outlets.

    Have to say. The best place ever i have visited so far inside colombo. Really really good, relaxing and spacious atmosphere and the vibe is so so cool. Staff is attentive and food i have to delicious. And it’s really reasonable. We need to make reservations for the upper deck and they told that they can arrange special events there. Highly recommend this place 💯 and hope to visit again soon.

    A cozy and peaceful food court in middle of crowded Nugegoda. Love the vibe there. A good place to hangout if you love outdoor dining concept. Live music was there in the evening time ❤️

    We truly enjoyed the concept The Grove. They have multiple restaurant franchises operating here giving the customers to order from a variety of cuisines; Italian, Indian, Thai, Mexican, BBQ etc... We found the service to be on time and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The concept of being able to order from different food "stalls" gives you options to make your entire party happy. Especially if you have a big group. We used 2 vendors and tried out the pizza and some juices. Both were up to our satisfaction and the service staff was prompt and attentive. You order from the specific vendor(s) of your choice and take the receipts to a central location to make the payment. The setting has both indoor and outdoor seating with lots of greenery/nature with the correct lighting to set the mood. The music played on Wednesday night was fantastic. And most importantly, the volume was just perfect. Wasn't too loud nor too low. This was very important as we were able to carry out a conversation yet enjoy the music. The owner Sanjaya was very friendly and had a chat with us and asked us to try them out on the weekends. They have live bands playing and recommended making reservations as they tend to get quite busy. The roof top area wasn't open when we visited. We tried to have a sneak peak of the area but a staff member informed us that the area was closed. Would have been nice if the "tree tops" area was open as well. We look forward to revisiting The Grove. This place is unique compared to other places in the Colombo area, giving you the option to try out multiple cuisines at one location with perfect ambience, good service, nice music and both indoor and outdoor seating. Thanks for the pleasant overall experience. We will visit again.

  • 4/5 Ravindra I. 2 years ago on Google
    This is located opposite to Kandy fashion in Nugegoda. Calm environment. I have visited several time. Lot of trees in the place. There are couple of food spots in the place. So have some variety including pizza , Thai, Indian, BBQ shakes and more. You can bring your own Bottle (BYOB) no chargers for bottle. But Minimum charge 1500 worth food items should purchase from them for each person. It's centralised cashier point. Most outlets self service. This place is good if the Grove add more soft drinks by their own at the cashier point with Ice cubes. If they don't want to add soft drinks. Then try some fresh juice or hot beverages. Coz it may help to spend time more.

  • 4/5 Hiruni N. 5 months ago on Google
    Loved the vibe here. We went to micheal angelo pizzeria. It's a great place for a friends' meetup, a family dinner or even a cute romantic date! The staff were very friendly. However, the billing procedure is a bit inconvenient as customers have to go to a counter to place the order and to another counter to pay the bill before dining. This was a bit of a hassle when we wanted to order more stuff etc.. Anyway, I loved the ambiance here. Will definitely go back soon!

    This Grove has left the best impressions! Hospitable hosts, delicious dishes, beautiful presentation, and i love the vibe. But i don’t like the system.we have to do the order by ourselves.also they charge a service charge. When we want a another meal we have to go to the cabin and have to do the order .

  • 4/5 Kokila S. 2 years ago on Google
    Such a calm place in the middle of busiest Nugegoda town and it was difficult to digest the fact that so much of greenery could coexist. Of course there were lots of mosquitoes biting every inch of exposed skin but the staff was well aware and ready for this and they first offered a mosquito repellent coil and then suggested that we get seated inside under the fans where there were less mosquitoes. There is a wide range of food items to select from, Thai from Jack Tree, Indian from Mango tree, a Cafe, Italian from Michaelangelo pizza where they have pizza, pasta, soups, lassangna etc. Chicken Biryani from Mango tree, Hawain pizza from Michaelangelo were so good and the mojitos were equally good. Had a perfect evening and will definitely visit again.

    It has 4 types of resto inside. Mango tree- Indian cuisine, whistling hog steakhouse, Bibo's Cafe and Michaelangelo- italian. Lasagna tastes good. Most of the menu in the whistling hog were not available. Mango tree's food are decent. Worth ordering from there.

    I’ve always wanted to write a review about this place. The vibe, the music, the people , the atmosphere and environment will make you forget that you’re in the heart of Nugegoda during a hot day. Clean, calm and peaceful. Even though it’s BYOB, I’ve never encountered a noisy crowd of people coz everyone is minding their own business. Food is slightly pricy but the quantity is good. Parking is adequate but during busy hours, it’s a bit difficult to find space to park. Many choices to select from, in terms of food and beverages. Pizzas, pastas, BBQ, Indian, Thai, desserts etc. Absolutely loved the place and the vibe. A must visit if you are in the area!

  • 5/5 Himantha A. 2 years ago on Google
    The Grove has multiple restaurants where you can buy food from. The ambience, environment and the vibe are really good. Ideal for a gathering of freinds. They have spaced out the tables, so the social distancing is maintained. COVID-19 guidelines are also followed in the premises. Upstairs can be even booked for small gatherings, while tables can be reserved in prior for dining. The food was great and we specially enjoyed Pizza from Michaelangelo's. Highly recommended!

    This food court has about 5 restaurants to fulfill your tastebuds. They have range of food to select as well from indian to italian. 10/10 to the location. Nice atmosphere mid of a busy city. Finding a spot to park can be though but free parking available on the front.

  • 5/5 Ranuka K. 8 months ago on Google
    I've been there a couple of times. Ideal for a cosy outing around colombo. You can have a variety of food choices, as italian thai indian and Western. And it's a BYOB place, which is great for a quick drink with some good food.

  • 4/5 Radhi K. 5 months ago on Google
    It’s a nice place to hang out with your friends & chill after a long day of work! The variety of restaurants gives you the ability to enjoy different flavors from Thai, Chinese, Indian, barbecue etc. portion sizes are valued for money. Enjoyed Much & will definitely visit again.

  • 5/5 Januth L. 7 months ago on Google
    Really cool place for a hangout. The food was good and the atmosphere was amazing . The service itself was really good . Just that you had to order in one place , and pay in another which I found tedious . Overall it's a very nice place for catching up with old friends.

  • 4/5 Sasini Y. 4 months ago on Google
    we had lunch at the mango tree at the Grove. got a chicken Biriyani. portion fits one person. it was over priced but flavourful. had a fair amount of chicken pieces. it came up to around Rs. 2000/- rupees incuding vat service charges nd rest. The grove had a beautiful atmosphere,peaceful. sure it would look even better at night with lights.

  • 5/5 Janeth F. 8 months ago on Google
    There are several shops inside this cafe. The only thing is you need to visit each shop order something get the ordering ticket and pay to another counter. This is kind of a pain. Parking available for few vehicles. Tried out the pizza, BBQ, noodles and fried rice from this place. No issues to mention specifically. The person who is in charge is also supper kind. This is a BOYB place.

  • 5/5 Nawodha p. 3 years ago on Google

    Pretty much a food court. Good service. Enough parking. Calm environment. Several shops to choose from.

  • 5/5 Chashika W. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is a food court and has several restaurants. This is a nice place for the dinner. Somedays(Friday) there is a band playing here and that music adds a nice vibe. Has good quality and tasty foods. Price is bit high here but with the food quality it is fair. Here the pizza and Bbq are highlighted and it is very delicious.

  • 5/5 Priyanga C. 9 months ago on Google
    Whistling Hog's food was awesome. Had a pork meal and it taste fabulous, the presentation and the service too. No one will get you the menus as you need to go to different food outlets and order what you want. Then you go and make the payment to a central cashier. And sit where ever you want as they will serve you without mistake. Nice atmosphere with soft music (live band) playing old tracks. Parking is limited inside but you can park on the street and there is a security officer to look after. The staff is efficient but if you are visiting this place first time then you may get confused as no one will approach you to tell you what to do. You need to figure that your own. I think that can be improved. Anyway, overall nice place with many food varieties on offer.

  • 5/5 Dee D. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice outdoor seating with option of ordering from few different restaurant. Italian, Indian Thai and Bbq. Plus you can BYOB. Friday's & Saturday's there's a live band too. Very nice chill out place.

  • 5/5 Oshan M. G. 2 years ago on Google
    A renovated old house area with a fancy friendly vibe. Quite spacious outdoor setting with dim lights and live music. However, you cannot smoke or drink as it's a family friendly place. Obviously, the prices and food quality depends on the on-site restaurants you order from. And the staff is well trained, professional and helpful. They have several restaurants that you can order from and you can pay for everything at one single place. (Just collect the bills and pay at the counter). Make things much easier specially when you order for a group. Also, it might be tough to find a parking spot during busy hours but there are a lot of options for parking outside.

  • 5/5 Inosha E. 2 years ago on Google
    Love the concept of having many varieties of restaurants in one place. The open environment and the cool atmosphere was definitely conducive for the pandemic situation. Kids loved it too. Will definitely return.

  • 5/5 Munza M. 3 years ago on Google
    Love the vibe here and the fact that you can choose from around 5 restaurants all offering different cuisines is a plus. The staff is friendly and the food has been great. Will definitely go back.

  • 4/5 Irshad J. 3 years ago on Google
    The Grove is some sort of difference experience. First of all finding a place like this in Colombo city is impossible. The pace is filled with giant Jack trees and outdoor tables are super idea. You can enjoy your meal under the natural AC (I mean trees). All the stores are self service. You need to place the order from one point and need to pay at another point and go back to previous point give the bill. If the management can look on this and do something to avoid customers effort, it will help to improve the customer experience

It is a good place have a luch or dineer with your friends during this COVID19 time[NOT A/C but Open Space] We ordered food from PappayaRich and It was very good. Portaion sizes were good. Curry Laksa was very good

  • 5/5 Tharani R. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place to visit . It was hard to believe that middle of Nugegoda has this kind of a place . They do have parking but not a large area . Good food also there while we can order from any of shops from with different types of food items.
