    My experience here has been excellent. I only saw their food from them. This is a very strange experience. I really feel like going to the garage. You can eat sitting on tires😁😁 blah blah blah...😁. But the food here is very strange. I ate a v8 engine kottu🤭 . There are no words to describe the names of their dishes and their taste. Super❤❤🙏. A must go place for a new and strange experience

    This is the best in concept cafes in Kandy as I’ve seen. Creative interior and menu. I went there with a friend who recommended me the place. They serve the food quickly and the staff is friendly. Plenty of space also. I recommend this place for car enthusiasts. Supiri!!!

    Good mixture of western and Sri Lanka food, I like the whole concept of the cafe very cool. The wait wasn’t to long and food was good but it need to be spicy. I asked for my dish spicy and the guy serving had an issue with it, he said only a little and I said no I really like spicy food, he gave me a smug look and said ok then. The food wasn’t even spicy so this was a let down. I did try to go back again to give it a second chance but it was closed because of the the full moon.

    Very nice freestyle restaurant and café where you can go for something to eat or to just enjoy some milkshake or coffee. I tried Sri Lankan coffee, which seemed to be something like Turkish coffee. I especially enjoyed the decorations at the place, e.g. a ladder used instead of tree with Christmas decoration, making it Christmas ladder, I guess. I appreciate that someone had such funny idea and made it happen.

  • 4/5 Sudheera S. 1 year ago on Google
    The garage theme interior and exterior designing is fascinating. Most of the menu items are named with garage terminology. In walking distance to railway station, a good place to have a refreshing coffee after a train ride. There's no parking. It took some time to serve the food just after opening, so expect delays during rush hours. Acceptable of Lanka QR payments is definitely a plus point.

    Just went there with my girl and we loved it. One of the best in Kandy for sure. Nice people and service, the atmosphere is pretty cool and I like a lot the urban concept. The food was amazing, well served, recommended for tourists and locals. We liked that young guys and girl went there to eat, that normally means it's a good place. Portions pretty good and it was a really good price for the quality of the food. Totally coming back.

    Small restaurant, which is designed as a garage. Very beautiful atmosphere. Foods are very delicious. The owner is very helpful, and he helped to take us a photo in the cafe. But I suggest them to if they provide two person meal, please serve it separately with two empty plates, we took the combo pack and cahsier said it is for 2 persons. but it served with one plate with two cutleries, so we had to ask for another plate. It was a downside.

  • 5/5 Nuwan J. 5 months ago on Google • 36 reviews
    The place is good, less crowded (when we were there) and food is also good. The staff is very friendly. They even remember what we ordered in our last visit. Names of the food may confusing, since they are mixed with the terms used in Garage.

    Food tastes good! Place looks cool. Really loved the aesthetics. But it took too much time to serve foods and there were no tissues on the table. The table was not clean when we arrived. So we asked them to clean it but they did not.. Overall the food is good. The cappuccino tastes amazing. But the service needs to improve so much more!

    Food are very tasty and not pricey. Prices were very reasonable. We had Cheese Kottu, Burger, Naasi Goorang and Mojitos. All of them tasted really good, was clean and presented in a good looking way. Their service is really welcoming and friendly. The cafe background atmosphere is inspired by a theme of a Garage. There are a lot to explore in that theme and you can take a lot of nice photos. Has indoor and outdoor seating.

    I recently had the pleasure of visiting Garage Cafe, a charming spot located near Good Shepherd Convent in Kandy. I must say, I was thoroughly impressed with my experience. The cafe not only offers excellent customer service, but their food and beverages are also exceptionally tasty. I had the pleasure of trying their Chicken Kottu with Cheese and the Spicy Chicken Pasta, and both dishes were a treat for the taste buds. To quench my thirst, I opted for the Blackcurrant Mojito and Apple Mojito, and they were truly exceptional. One aspect that pleasantly surprised me was the affordability of the menu items. Garage Cafe's prices are notably lower compared to other cafes in the area, making it a fantastic value for the quality of food and service. During my visit on a weekday, I appreciated the fact that it wasn't overly crowded, creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. However, I couldn't help but think that with some improvements in the cafe's design, it could become even more photogenic, which would be a great addition to the overall experience. But, all in all, Garage Cafe is a gem in the area, offering delicious food, refreshing beverages, and top-notch service. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delightful cafe experience in Kandy.

    Nice little restaurant with really good food. Quality is also pretty good for this price. Sometimes it takes a little bit longer if there are many people. And drinks are coming after or with your food. But if you ask you also get them before. Nice furniture and cool graffiti.

  • 4/5 Gihan V. 1 year ago on Google
    This was my first time here and loved the atmosphere and the thematic arrangements with proper lighting and space. We ordered Chicken Nasigoreng, Seafood fried rice and Chicken fried rice as mains. Nasigoreng was very tasty and came with a fried egg , prawn crackers and chicken kebab. The portion size is satisfactory and definitely worth the price. Although the chicken and seafood fried rice were prepared with minimum amounts of chicken and seafood which were sprinkled only over the top of the rice! Hence I do not recommend those dishes, which is the reason I give overall 3 stars. However, this cafe offers a variety of other foods and beverages too. Separate washroom facilities available for gents and ladies.

  • 5/5 Indaka J. 9 months ago on Google
    Access to this place is very easy since it's located in Kandy-Peradeniya main road. The only issue is the parking since it's facing the main road. But don't worry, the good news is CCC car park is next to you where u can park ur vehicle for a nominal fee. The place is having good vibe according to the name it has given. U have a variety of items in the menu where u will get lost in time to choose what u need. The food was very tasty and mostly it is worth for money ur spending here. Make a note that food is not expensive which u can see in the menu that I have uploaded here.

    The cafe was on our way to a bus station, so we stopped for a beef burger. The burger itself was very delicious. You have to order at the bar though and the portion of fries that comes with the burger is small, so I would recommend buying an extra plate.

    This is a great eatery. Good range of food at very reasonable prices. The burgers tasted great and they didn't skimp on the size of the pattie. Decor is pretty cool and it's located close to the centre of Kandy. Highly recommended if you're after a Burger in Kandy.

    Garage Cafe in Kandy provided an outstanding experience. The Passion Mojito and Mixed Ice-Cream were delightful, with flavors that blended perfectly. The cafe's trendy and inviting ambiance made it a wonderful place to unwind. The staff's friendliness and attentiveness added to the overall enjoyment of the visit. I highly recommend trying their Passion Mojito and Mixed Ice-Cream. Don't miss out on this charming cafe if you're in Kandy. It's an excellent spot to relax and savor delectable treats while surrounded by a welcoming atmosphere.

    I checked out The garage cafe the last time I visited kandy city. Their interior architecture is attractive and every single moment you feel like you’re in a garage. Tables, Seats, wall decos unique to their theme. ⠀ Special thing is all items are affordable but a little crowded with local and foreign people. But a bad thing was we had to stay for a long time for the food to arrive. Staff was friendly and apologised for the delay. To all who go to Kandy, don’t miss this experience. Trust me you will not regret it 🙌

    22 Dec 2021: Visited the cafe hunting for veg food. They didn't have much except veg fried rice. I ordered anyway but suddenly the price changed. They bill more than what they have mentioned on the board. Still I went ahead and paid. Guess what, they served non vegetarian sauce along with it. AVOID!!

    Unique place I found in Kandy. I was surprised when I first go there. If you are vehicle lover then this place will be a paradise for you. They have a separate parking space so parking is not gonna be an issue. But this place is in the middle of the Kandy town it might be crowded at day time. Staff is friendly but their service is little late. Prices are moderate compared to other cafe's in Kandy.
