    The Whizz is a great place to enjoy a meal with friends or family. The atmosphere at The Whizz is relaxed and inviting. The interior is decorated in a modern style. The restaurant has a large outdoor seating area with a view of the city. We had the chicken cheese koththu and it was delicious. It was cooked perfectly and the taste was amazing. The portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable. We went there at night and the night view of the city is cosy to mind. The service at The Whizz was excellent. The staff was friendly and attentive, and they made sure that we had everything we needed. They were also very knowledgeable about the menu. Overall, we had a great experience at The Whizz and would definitely recommend it to others. โค๏ธโœจ

    A good rooftop restaurant. We visited here during our stay at Kandy city stay. The food ok. The service was a bit slow as they had limited staff. They only accept cash payments. The place has good seating options. Parking might be a bit difficult when you visit as I didn't see a designated parking space.

    Not so good experience to be honest. Service is the only incredible thing. View wasnt that bad. But the food is. It is not good at all. Ordered a chicken noodle. It was more like a Maggie instant noodle with lots of oil. The oily taste was awful. Orders lime juice was more like a more water with few drops of lime. Not good. Waiters are very friendly and that's all the good there.

    I recently visited The Whizz, a charming rooftop restaurant nestled in the heart of Kandy and boasts a breathtaking 360 view of Kandy providing a picturesque backdrop for a leisurely meal. The food prices at The Whizz were reasonable making it an accessible option for various budgets. Customer Service and the food were Satisfactory. One notable drawback is the payment system. The restaurant only accepts cash and there is no provision for card payments. I would recommend this place to chill and unwind if youโ€™re in Kandy.

    Delicious food, good staff, reasonable price, good location with a great view. This place location on the top floor of "kandy city stay". I have been to this place several times and I won't think twice to recommend this place to anyone else. If you want to have a good meal in a peaceful surrounding this is for you. Thank God this place don't have annoying loud music.

    We had to wait for a long time to get the meal. So the waiting time is much higher in lunch hours. Meal was great. We had chicken cheese koththu, Mongolian rice and blue lagoon. It was nice. Card payments are not allowed in here. Rooftop has a huge attraction for photos.

    We went in on 23rd November 2021 and couldn't order anything off the menu because nothing was in stock , the manager wasn't in yet and the two staff present were the chef and the server , they explained the situation to us and informed that they will receive stock soon and we were willing to wait since the staff was upfront and honest with us, we ordered 2 milkshakes while we were waiting and after a while the manager arrived and was in a very informal attire compared to the chef and server , he straightaway asked if we had ordered only 2 milkshakes and asked us to leave without loitering if we had bought only 2 milkshakes, we promptly paid the bill and left. The manager has zero service skills while the staff who are working are beyond average service standards. Train your manager to treat your customers right or get a better manager if you want your cafe to last longer. Two stars only for the two brilliant staff.

    It's on 5th floor and you can feel whole hanthana from there. Rooftop Vibe is excellent, but the main issue is that they only accept cash only. So that i almost had to go out to take cash for my bill during rain. Luckily, finally, they agreed on a bank transfer. But it is very inconvenient. I think a resaturant in 2023 must have card payment facilities rather than collecting money by cash. If it was food, food was very tasty. But the portion is not enough. Also, I their service is slower. Finally again I wanna say vibe is excellent.

    An exceptional experience at Whizz Restaurant and Cafe! We indulged in the Whizz Special Kottu and Chicken Submarine, paired with delightful Mint Lemonade and Blackcurrant Mojito. The food surpassed expectations in taste and hygiene standards, taking it to the next level. Adding to the experience was the superb location with an incredible view. Highly recommended for a memorable dining experience!

  • 3/5 Sandeep S. 2 years ago on Google
    Situated on top of the metropolitan M center building. Bit of an annoying climb to reach the restaurant.I recommend you to go here after 5-6 p.m. The atmosphere is dope in the evening. They don't allow you to bring Alcoholic beverages mainly because there are guests (families) in the rooms below. Smoking is also prohibited. Had the Cheese Bacon burger. It was delicious. Hot Brownie was also top notch. The space is quite small to be honest so if you're going there on a crowded day the atmosphere wouldn't be that great. I've heard from my friends that their kottu is not that great. So I avoided ordering Kottu.

  • 5/5 Chatura D. 5 months ago on Google โ€ข 38 reviews
    Last night, I enjoyed dining at Whizz, a gem of a restaurant renowned for its breathtaking rooftop setting. The experience was magical, with the panoramic mountain views providing a spectacular backdrop to an already remarkable evening. As I arrived just before closing time, the attentive staff promptly assisted me in placing my order โ€“ a testament to their efficiency and dedication to customer service. I opted for the submarine, which was a delightful choice. The flavours were perfectly balanced, and the presentation was exquisite, enhancing the overall dining experience. The restaurant's ambience, especially under the starlit sky, added an extra layer of allure. It's a fantastic spot for those looking to enjoy a serene evening with a picturesque view. In summary, Whizz offers an unforgettable rooftop dining experience. Its combination of stunning scenery, delectable cuisine, and exceptional service make it a must-visit destination. It is highly recommended for anyone seeking a unique dining adventure.

    One of the best restaurants around Kandy. Staff was very friendly and their prices are soo affordable. We went there few weeks ago n we had a wonderful time with soothing view on the roof top. I would give 9/10 for their black current mojito. It was super tasty but its better to increase the portion ๐Ÿฅบ and their nasi goreng was yummy ๐Ÿฅต๐Ÿ’– and browny shake was lit โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ I would definitely come back and highly recommend.

  • 2/5 Binoy M. 2 months ago on Google โ€ข 12 reviews New
    We went there seeing all the good Google reviews. This was a very disappointing affair. Half the items mentioned in the menu were not available, no burgers, no pasta, Very limited selection of juices. We ordered a Chicken sandwich, a beef submarine, a cream of chicken soup, a lime soda and sunshine( mix of orange and pineapple). Beef submarine was horrible, beef was rubbery. Chicken sandwich was just OK, chicken soup tasted of excess milk, sunrise turned bitter very fast. The city view was nothing to write home about. The only items which tasted like it was supposed to were ketchup and garlic bread served with soup. Based on my experience, I would say avoid this hotel. This is only suitable for couples who seek privacy and don't mind the food.

Has been many times to this place since 2019 and it never failed to make the moment awesome. It might have a luxury look and feel but trust me it is not a pricy place. So could recommend to anyone.

  • 3/5 Manupriya L. 6 months ago on Google
    I dined at this restaurant on the 5th floor, and I have mixed feelings about it. The view is decent, and the food is good, but there are some downsides. First, the elevator only goes to the 3rd floor, so you have to climb two flights of stairs, which might not be ideal for everyone. Also, the seating is limited, and you might end up eating on a sofa, which can be uncomfortable. Considering these factors, I feel this place might be a bit overrated, and there are better options available.

There was an excellent table service. I've to say that I found the prices reasonable compared to other places from my previous visits. We ordered a Mongolian rice and a Mojito where both were so excellent. What's more important is that I stepped out as a happy customer..!
