    Done a great job with the renovation. Much more spacious and is pretty well suited for a remote work getup (although it doesn’t have a lot of plug points) it has a pretty spacious non A/C area behind where you get plenty of natural light and greenery. Menu has improved and prices are pretty decent as well. I’d put Fab above with all the other much more expensive and extravagant cafes in Colombo.

    Fab is most people's neighbourhood short eat place serving real value for money and tasty snacks throughout the day. They were not listed on any food delivery sites such as Uber or Pickme before Covid. Their mutton Pie which retails at 140rs at their outlets a d their online store retails for Rs 240 plus delivery on uber and pickme. This is just one example. MOST items are marked up by 60% of their retail value.. daylight robbery!!!

    Love what they have done to the place. Finally a nice environmentfor Fab. Great good, great cake, huge variety. They should now start serving some nice coffee and they are golden. Bumped out the rating from my previous 4 stars to 5 stars.

    Well used to be a great cafe but now I feel better alternatives are available in that I mean fab really needs to change modernize and increase standards. The food choice isn't the best and also some I bored of eating so it's better if u can come up with new foods too. Thanks you.

    Fab Colombo 03 is a very familiar place among everyone. The newly renovated Fab looks amazing with their good food. Though the mutton role is good sad to say it not quality and tasty as earlier. I was adored for their previous taste. They have introduced vertiety of snacks, cakes, mouse, healthy food items. Love the new atmosphere and the food.

    I like the new renovated area. And the service is great. The pastries was good from the old area as well. However the Black Forest cake was a disappointment. Although it had all the ingredients of a traditional Black Forest, it was prepared in a unusual way, using the form of gelatin, which did not taste good and ruined the taste of the entire cake. The rest of the items were good although I felt that the cakes were store in the freezer for a long time.

    Good place to have a variety of short eats and cakes. The kalu dodal, mutton rolls and chicken croissant are some of the tasty eats here.

    Most reasonable tastiest Lumprice you can get. You have to be there by 1230 or they might have finished their stock. It’s that good!! Also their kids called decor rocks!! They make amazing sculptures and artifacts!! Value for money’!! Never had a bad experience so far.

    We have been visiting FAB at Gall road many years , but now the service with new staff worse,it’s very sad they are chatting among them during costumes presences. No respect to costumes . With the present competition in business world , don’t know how long FAB will survive in this manner.

    Absolute worst place it has become. We visited them after 7 or more years. The indie vibe small place with tasty food is gone. The new place is bigger but food is the worst, not tasty, leaking roof, unfriendly staff. What happened to the good old Fab?

    The Fab redone up and is great. staff is too friendly and cooperative to their clients. Vehicles parking. Bit of an issue unless I'm guessing for take anyway.

    This place has not changed a bit over the years. We have been going there for ages...food is awesome, fresh and the quality remains the same as always.

  • 1/5 Vani Subramanian I. 2 years ago on Google
    Their cakes are uneatably too too sweet.. I don't know how they are so famous and high end when they can't even get a cake to taste correctly. And it's expensive and the ambience is high end but all their stuff tastes like a cheap bakery. They just have paid for good reviews

  • 5/5 Niloshi M. 2 years ago on Google
    Another Fab with delicious savoury and sweet treats. The place has separate restaurants after the renovation. Have a god collection. Found their cheese cake tart to be delicious. Highly recommended.

  • 4/5 Saj M. 1 year ago on Google
    There is no Fab at Savoy Roxy as Google states. The reviews and the phone number is for the Kollupitiya branch. I’m giving 4 stars just so it doesn’t impact the overall rating of Fab.

  • 5/5 thenomads 1 year ago on Google
    We stumbled upon this place as we had missed breakfast time at the hotel. Staff were friendly and attentive (we were jetlagged and hungry). Food we chose (some samosas and other small snacks) were great, they have good coffee and milkshakes too!

  • 2/5 Teena M. 1 year ago on Google
    Ordered Lump rice and it was the worst lumprice I ever had. I'm not sure if they know the meaning of Lumprice. Waste of money. I have had other savouries, cakes etc but the lump rice I don't recommend to anyone at all.

  • 5/5 Vitharanage Chathura Buddika R. 4 years ago on Google
    I love fab. But now service not like before, Ice coffee they are giving not worth for money. And tomato ketchup is in packet and it is difficult to open. The fab was my favorite before. Now I think twice to enter

  • 1/5 Radhia H. 3 years ago on Google
    DANGER TO HEALTH Myself and a number of guests had the Fab lamprai and three of us ended up in the emergency ward! We were down with food poisoning for three days- causing serious risk to health and problems with our work place and jobs due to sick leave. When the management was contacted about this- along with proof of medical bills and files they got back to us days later saying they can't do anything about it. This is a huge warning to anyone planning on ordering from this place. We got lucky that the elderly guests and children had not eaten the packs.

    Lump rice - Not value for money. The quality isn't enough for an adult and wasn't tasty at all. The shorteats are limited and once again the quality needs to be improved. The toilet facilities are very poor. Not lights and needs urgent maintenance.

    A bad experience with Fab park Road :( .The ordered butter cake tasted horrible and all who tried to eat had to throw. this happened on 4th Nov. MD was 2nd Nov & ED was 8th Nov. they collected the remaining few pcs after a day of complaining, and the Manager informed that it is the Fab butter cake standard. Please do not eat or give your loved ones Fab cakes as the funny / scratchy taste could be a result of a inappropriate ingredient they use on their cakes. All these days I liked fab, but never again!
