    Good restaurant and foods are delicious. But prices are little bit high. Parking available. You can choose curries as your choice from a big variation. Western and eastern foods available. Friendly staff. Recommend for a good rice and curry meal for lunch.

    Tried the Rice and Curry and a fried rice. Quality was good. The ambiance of the restaurant too is lovely with a typical village like setting inside the place. Overall service and cleanliness is commendable.

    Checked out Nelum Kolaya – an amazing find! Food was not just okay, but downright tasty. The customer service was exceptional, making the experience even better. Though we had to wait a bit to eat, it was worth it. Fair prices and delicious flavors make it a highly recommended spot. 👌🍲 #NelumKolaya

    Located near Court premises at Panadura. They have a variety of food range. Parking space available. Dine in option and take away both available. Had a fish set menu rice and chicken Biriyani for lunch along with a large Ginger Beer. Cost was 2400/= Both were medium portion dishes served for 2. (Can manage for 3 Girls I guess) Cost is slightly higher than the average prices in Panadura. Better if they can increase the portion a little with their price. Recommended for food lovers near Panadura.

    I ordered 3 rice and curry meals via Uber eats after paying more than Rs 3000. The food had no taste what so ever. Veggie curries were undercooked. Absolutely, no value for money. Don't recommend this place to anyone. I won't buy rice and curry from you ever again. Thanks for the unpleasant experience.

  • 1/5 Auroras B. 3 years ago on Google
    It was disappointing. I just ordered their club sandwich for 810 rupees through Uber eats today and I must say I've never been disappointed in a club sandwich before. It wasn't worth the price and the food was cold. Not enough for 1 person at all. Normally in a club sandwich you'd get a 4 set of sandwiches, but this was just a sad set of 2 only. And they were freaking tiny. 😔😶

    Good portions and a clean kitchen. Also available on Uber eats which is great. If you like Srilankan-Chinese food you will not be disappointed. Just don't be deceived by the name and expect authentic srilankan dishes.

    The food quality at this popular Sri Lankan food outlet near Panadura has unfortunately declined significantly. With our recent order, we encountered flies with our order, which was quite disappointing. Hopefully, they can address these issues and restore their reputation for atleast basic food quality.

    Delicious Foods. We can choose curries as our choice from a big variation. Friendly staff. Recommend for a good meal.

  • 5/5 Lashara P. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent place to have Sri Lankan food. Reasonable prices and they give a huge portion. The large portion is enough for like 3 adults. Very clean and the staff is very nice and friendly.

  • 1/5 Vihanga P. 1 year ago on Google
    Bought one of their “Kochchi Kottu” recently and must say it’s one of the worst I’ve ever tasted. Had to take medicine for the stomach ache I had next day.

  • 4/5 Nadusha V. 1 year ago on Google
    Tasty food. A bit high priced but can say the food is worth the price

  • 3/5 Chamil D. 2 years ago on Google
    Good variety of food. But after having 3-4 meals of the variety of food you'd feel that all the variants of a respective dish like the chicken curry, the devel and the broth all tastes the same.

  • 5/5 chandima r. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent food. Menu is extensive and seasonal to a particularly high standard. There is a Sri Lankan healthy food conner as well. Definitely fine dining. It can be expensive but worth it. Highly recommended.

  • 1/5 Harindu Heshawa De S. 3 years ago on Google
    Earlier food was better. Now food is not worth the price. I bought chicken cheese kottu and fish cheese kottu. It is only carrot and flour. Price is 490. Doesn't worth at least 250

  • 1/5 Shanil P. 11 months ago on Google
    Previously it was good, both food and service. But now, the price got higher and, food and service has got worse. I do not recommend here. You have plenty of small food centers nearby to have nice food for reasonable prices.

  • 3/5 Ranil S. 11 months ago on Google
    Food quality and taste is ok for rice and curries but the Chinese menu and kottu are not that tasty as per my liking. Cost is high and the waiting time also high. Better call and order before you visit

  • 5/5 Naveen J. 1 year ago on Google
    Tried their rice and curry option and they have a variety of options to choose for the curries. Their rice and curry is quite unbeatable when it compared to other places in Panadura. Even the price is worth it. Their customer service is also perfect.

  • 1/5 Kushani De M. 11 months ago on Google
    Expensive foods with no taste. most of the times in here vegetables are not well cooked, it's undercooked. so it's not easy to eat. one of the time we buy many lunch packets for take out & vegetables are undercooked and they don't add some spices, so foods are tasteless. we just ate, because we buy foods with money,we ate and we are unsatisfied with the taste & expensiveness, because foods are not worth the money. and other time i take out chicken kottu & we have to wait like hour or more & it's doesn't has chicken pieces it just has chicken crumbs, so i have to find where the chicken pieces are. other time i take out a cheese kottu & kottu maker just add happycow cheese cube to it, but doesn't mix it well, so when i come home i have to mix it & again has to find the chicken pieces. after that time i stopped buying foods from there. It's not worth the money. this restaurant situated at near court area, so this place most of the times heavily packed. in here dine in people most are coming from far away cities because they have to attend court cases. they have short times & they do have to attend court cases when someone calling, they do have to go after lawyers too. so they just eat in near place with expensive foods with tasteless foods.

    Vegetarian options are also available. They offer good selection of curries. They do have pittu, string hoopers, those, paraata for dinner. Both take away and dine in are possible. Chinese food is also available as well as noodles and pasta.

  • 1/5 Lahiru J. 6 months ago on Google
    Ordered dum biryani on Uber Eats, but received a regular biryani instead. When I called the restaurant, they defensively denied any mistake or fraud. Extremely disappointing experience!

  • 5/5 Tharindu P. 6 months ago on Google

    Horrible food. Yellow rice chicken was ordered. Spent almost Rs.2000/-. Food was rotten and the pack did not worth the price at all. It didnt fit suitable for the little one anyways. I do not recommend this place to anyone who likes good food.
