    As the name suggests this is a restaurant with an urbanized concept. Unique decorations and paintings enhance the attractiveness of this place. You can dine in either upstairs or downstairs. Food was tasty but slightly overpriced. Not satisfied about the portion sizes too. Average delivery time. Have to mention about the excellent and friendly staff service. The steward who served us was really attentive and gave good recommendations. Flies were a huge problem when dining there. The place was not air conditioned as well. Limited parking spaces are available.

    Food is mouthwatering and eye catching as well. Building was constructed giving a natural vibe and the place is nature friendly. Staff was really friendly and helpful as well. Portion is too much for two people though. It is good for the customer. Yet it will be a waste if we have to throw away the leftovers.

    Really Disappointed about this place. Visited with couple friends and had some Ice Tea worth of Rs.660.00 ,Even that was terrible. However after couple of minutes the Manager came and demanded us to order food while we were still having the ice tea, When we refuse he wanted us to vacate the place immediately. NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL !!!!!

    My friends and I decided to try this place out today for the first time. We loved the ambience and the decorations. Unfortunately, we had a very bad experience in terms of service, as someone from the management asked us to vacate the place for occupying a table, despite having ordered from their menu and continuing to consume it. Clearly, good customer service isn't to be expected from these people!

    Great place to chill. Prices are in posh range. Most beautiful at night because of their lighting design. Food is also with good taste and good portion.

    Nice eye catching place. At night, there is a very attractive environment there. Good customer service. Friendly staff. Ordered Hot Chocolate and Strawberry Mojito. Hot Chocolate is really delicious. Recommended. But Strawberry Mojito is not so good. It didn't taste like strawberry. Not recommend.

  • 4/5 Pathum S. 3 years ago on Google
    Definitely an amazing place for food. The ambiance is also 👌. Service was great and the music was also perfect. Their lime juice is to die for and very refreshing. Only reason for 4 stars is that it was raining the day we were there and the whole dine in area was getting flooded.

    Food was good and came out quickly. There were a few things unavailable on their menu, but that may have been based on the day. Customer service was excellent, the manager made sure all of our needs were met and gave recommendations on dessert and drinks.

    Of course this place is a very beautiful place. And a very different experience because we were able to experience the fullness of everything here. The way the interior was set up, the music behind the home decor and the food they prepared for us were just as great so I really liked this place. I'm going to this place again. So #urbanElephant Thank you so much for the experience you gave us. ❤️❤️ #UER002

    The food was good. There were single positions set for two people which was a plus point. It wasn't real special but a decent meal for a slightly high price. Customer service was excellent. Friendly staff with good meal recommendation ideas. Setting was unique.

    Located in Galle Road, close to Moratuwa. Good atmosphere. You can arrange small parties in the upstairs. Food was good except the noodle that we ordered. Service was good as well. Limited parking space available. Varieties of food is there. Recommended for small gatherings. Beware of the mosquitoes if you are visiting this place at night.

  • 5/5 Gihan V. 1 year ago on Google
    I recently had the pleasure of trying Urban Elephants' Urban Deluxe Pizza, and it was simply outstanding! The pizza was crafted with fresh ingredients and cooked to perfection. The crust had the ideal balance of crispiness on the outside and chewiness on the inside, while the toppings were generous and packed with flavor. The atmosphere of the restaurant was also great, with a trendy and modern vibe that made for a comfortable and enjoyable dining experience. The staff were friendly and accommodating, making sure that we had everything we needed to fully enjoy our meal. Overall, I would highly recommend Urban Elephants and their Urban Deluxe Pizza to anyone looking for a delicious and satisfying meal. I give it five stars and will definitely be returning soon!

    The mix pasta was terrible 👎🏻 It was like a kottu at Pilawoods and so oily 🤢 . Waste of my money . Don’t go for a pasta at urban elephants try on another dish! It’s more wiseful............

  • 5/5 Thanuj 4 years ago on Google
    Had a mixed fried rice. Very delicious and clean. Taste was perfect. Not only that their special lime juice was also marvelous. Serve water in a unique way in a water bottle with it’s own seal. Only costs 650 for the mixed fried rice which was sufficient for two persons. Customer care was very good. They serve with care and kind words. The place was extra ordinary. Very beautiful and romantic. Very nice place with a nice concept with decorated walls. The place had bricks, wood pallets and nice pictures hanging on the walls. Space enough for Dining in for about 20 people. Parking space enough for two vehicles and 2-3 bikes. Overall highly recommended 😍

    Eventhough UberEats is not available from my home, they did delivery for us and the Pizzas (hot and spicy, chicken and mushroom) were more than what we expected and totally worth the price of 1999/=!!! Would surely order again ❤. The spiciness and cheesiness were perfectly balanced 😌 10/10 would recommend!.

    good restaurant and also they have good staff...food is not super delicious...but its good..aaaanndddd...it has a beautiful interior

  • 5/5 Binura D. 1 year ago on Google
    Ambience is relaxing, can recommend about the quality of the food. Enjoyed the garlic bread and pork curry with dhal. It was spot on. If there were bit more of pork would have been awesome. Parking for the vehicles will be bit challenging. Pizza is also delicious, stewards are also helpful when placing the order.

  • 5/5 Randika A. 2 years ago on Google
    The food here is really really good. This is honestly my go-to place when I’m ordering food. The staff is friendly, the food gets delivered within 30-40 mins of ordering. If you’re ordering for delivery, don’t go through Uber or PickMe as it’s more expensive. Just call them up and ask them to deliver. It’s more worth it that way. If you’re having your meals there, try go slightly early or call them up and ask about space before you go as the place tends to fill up quickly especially on weekends. We got the food within 20 mins when on premises every time we went there and the service was extremely good. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Janeth F. 1 year ago on Google
    Got an uber eats order. Superb food. The nasi had a great taste. Nai miris kottu was also good.

  • 5/5 Nilupa D. 4 years ago on Google
    Great food and great ambience!!!! A perfect place to chill and enjoy a meal in Sri Lanka.

  • 2/5 Pasindu B. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is good. But the biggest issue and most annoying thing is the staff. They don't have any professional attitudes or anything. They are just on their phones doing their stuff and don't care about giving a quality service. I had to wait almost 45 minutes for just a simple order. Just replace your staff or teach them good work ethics. 2 stars only for the food and for nothing else.

  • 4/5 Chamath P. 1 year ago on Google
    The atmosphere and the place was so great and vibing. We brought a chicken kottu its comes with a separate chicken dish it was great and negative is the kottu potion is bit less. Service is good but the guy who help with our oder was so hurry to bill and clear all up there didn't let us to breath a little after meals they didn't had much dine in customers as well.

  • 3/5 Chaminda M. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was excellent but beverage not that. We ordered lime juice which was like water and sugars. But the staff quickly support and fixed it. Mixed rice was perfect with enough seafood items. Prices are comparatively higher than other places.

  • 5/5 Nipuna L. 1 year ago on Google
    The ambiance was warm and inviting, with rustic decor that created a cozy atmosphere. The service was impeccable - the staff were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. They provided great recommendations, and were always available to answer any questions we had. The food was the highlight of our visit. Every dish we tried was flavorful, well-presented, and made with fresh ingredients. U should visit this place.

  • 5/5 Nipuni E. 10 months ago on Google
    I ordered food for a function at my house for 20 adults and the portions they sent could easily feed 30. The food was super yum! Buddhika was my contact point. He was very attentive and his service was brilliant. Food was 100% value for money and definitely recommendable!! They’re available on Uber eats and I’ve ordered multiple times as well.

  • 5/5 Pavithra F. 5 months ago on Google
    Absolutely amazing ! I ordered from their pot menu for our family celebration. it's really nice and easy. They delivered on time. Look at my small dining table filled with so much food in pots. I really like to recommend their pot menu for functions.

  • 5/5 Dharani M. 6 months ago on Google
    Lovely find for a great meal in Moratuwa. Service was excellent, friendly and helpful staff. Kottu and pizza were great. The high benches were slightly uncomfortable for my older family members. May be something can be done about this. We loved the natural rustic vibe in the restaurant. Happy to give 5 stars!

    Great ambiance, great people and simply the best food in town. These guys have done a remarkable job with the place and it definitely adds up to the fusion of cuisines they bring to the table, including Chinese, Thai , Indonesian and Sri Lankan. Also their Ice teas are to die for. Highly recommended. Well done guys and good luck. !!

    So happy we selected Urban Elephants for a birthday dinner today. Great ambience, lots of options, delicious food in generous portions... For affordable prices! Staff was lovely and also kind enough to bring the birthday cake after dinner just as requested. I'm blown away by how great the night was. Thank you so much! Definitely not the last time you'll hear from this happy customer. :)

  • 5/5 poornima k. 4 years ago on Google
    This place has a calm ambience. Interior design is very unique with the wooden tables and stools, lights and plant wall decos. We ordered mixed noodles and a narang drink along with juggery pudding. Didn't take much time to serve. The noodles was tasty. But I didn't like the fact that they used prima kind of noodles. Portion size was good and was enogh for two people.The drink was just wow 😍. The best thing I noticed was that they don't use plastic bottles to serve the drinks. Not even for water. Water came in a nice glass botte. The pudding was also delicious. Customer service was good. The uncle who served us was very friendly and helped us with explaining the menu. Not so expensive also. Worth the money.

  • 5/5 Sandun F. 4 years ago on Google
    Located at galle road, moratuwa. Tasty food and good portion. Offering Dining and take away both. Prices are reasonable also very tidy place. Taking less time to prepare the food.

  • 5/5 Malith M. 4 years ago on Google
    One of the best restaurant around in Moratuwa. The most loved restaurant for me. Their menu is quite simple, but much cover. You can choose a carb, protein or two of your choice, and then your vegetables. Also, there are add-ons like eggs and cheese with a few soups. When it comes to drinks, they have you covered with iced tea and fresh juice. Their food is great. You can have a tasty Chinese & Sri Lankan meal here. There have enough dining space and parking available. You get good value for money you pay. Good place to take group of friends for dining. We were little bit worried about the dessert options and specially for not having Vanilla ice cream and cashew nuts with chocolate source topping, which we used to eat at this place. They have a small area near the counter for you to enjoy a light meal. In terms of service, the staff was very helpful. What food should go well with each other, we were instructed to go on and the amount of shares. Food arrived within 20 minutes and, when it considers that it is made fresh for each order right. They did not forget to check us in order to ensure that everything is in order.

  • 5/5 Sam De S. 4 years ago on Google
    Wow,wow,wow!!! We were truly humbled by the hospitality of (especially) Mr. Dekker and all the staff. We missed the normal open hours and went to the doors of UE for lunch. We were Informed at the takeaway booth that it was closed for food. Then, just as we were turning away came Mr. Dekker with a smile and the staff quickly rallied around and provided us with a wonderful meal just for us. We really enjoyed the meal and the very tasty fruit drinks. The place looks very beautiful and from what I could picture in my mind the atmosphere must be vibrant when filled. There was beautiful music playing and Mr Dekker definitely knew his music and has a few tunes in his heart. God bless the wonderful people at UE and we would surely recommend to many and will go back many, many times in future as well. UE wish U all a prosperous year.

  • 5/5 Sain O. 4 years ago on Google
    One of the best take-away restaurants I have dined around Moratuwa area. -The food is just so~ good. And also, the atmosphere is simple, yet elegant. -From the background music to the wall decor, it's all well thought out to give the best experience. All-in-all, loved it! -And 10/10 would dine there again, given the chance.
