    Great ambience with nice lighting. Can hangout with partners as well as friends. Food prices are average and the presentation of the food is great. Delicious food. Try the side door to enter the cafe. Not the front door.

    Perfect place to have decent yummy food for a reasonable price. Facing the main road it’s located at a very convenient place. Food was served fast and the portions were good enough to be shared. Need to mention that everything was tasty and freshly made. The staff was attentive and very friendly.

    First time in MANTIS and you have to go!! One of the cutest spots with amazing food. The atmosphere is chill and cool. As a touristic country we should be proud and encourage these types of restaurants. ♥️

    Great place to dine in with your family or friends. Calm & soothing background music, beautiful lightning, attractive decorations, comfortable seats enhance the lovely ambience of this place. The restaurant is on the first floor so you have to walk to the sideway entrance in Nelum Mawatha if the main entrance is closed. Delicious mouthwatering food & beverages with good portion sizes. I really like the way they served the meal. Probably the best mocktails I've enjoyed. Prices are a little bit high but its worth for money. Very friendly & excellent staff service! The steward who served us was very helpful & polite. I'll give more than 5 stars for that. Top notch customer service! Limited parking spaces may be a concerning fact. Highly recommending for gatherings with your friends. You can enjoy your time without any restrictions. One of the best places I've visited.

    I usually visit cafes and spend my alone time, reading or working. I tried this Cafe for the 1st time recently and I had a good experience. They have a decent ambiance in the cade upstairs. The food I tried tasted very good. The drinks were a bit too sugary but, it was acceptable. Staff could improve a bit more on being friendly Good food, decent ambiance.

    A nice cafe and a restaurant to hangout in boralesgamuwa area. The interior is cosy, well decorated with very calming atmosphere. They have an open kitchen and a juice bar. The choice of food items are limited but include good choices. We tried their drinks, rice, steak and seafood platter and the drinks were really good. Out of all the food items the steak was chewy and didn't contain enough flavour but the rest of the dishes were quite okay. Also note that most of the portions are for one person even though staff might tell you otherwise. Overall a good place to hangout and chill with not perfect l, but good food.

    Chilled place to hang out. Got to know about this place thanks to my friend and I gotta say, I wasn’t disappointed. Loved the food! They were tasty and very well presented. Fried rice comes in a decent portion so if you are a moderate eater, it maybe best to share one. The service was excellent! Staff is super nice and our food was served pretty fast. Great place to hang out with friends.

    A stunning restaurant with various delicious dishes. Although the prices are quite high, the presentation of the food and the atmosphere are top-notch. If you are looking for a BYOB place near Maharagama or Borelesgamuwa, this is the spot for you. The staff is nice and friendly.

    We visited Mantis Café for a photoshoot and actually they provided us a full floor without customers for the work. The staff is very supportive. Later we ordered some food from the restaurant and food were also satisfying.

  • 5/5 nuki Y. 1 year ago on Google
    The cafe, which is on the first floor of the establishment, has a great overall ambience and tasteful design. The food was delivered on time and was flavorful. We ordered a penne chicken arabiata and a honey-glazed chicken breast in sirracha sauce with a side of creamy portaoes and boiled vegetables. Special mention for the passionfruit mojito as it was extremely refreshing and crisp. Their staff was friendly and helpful as well. They also have an organic food center located on the first floor. Even with the current power interruptions, we were able to enjoy our meal with no interruption to the lights or the air conditioning.
