Dinemore - Kandy

Restaurant

🫤 I recently had the unfortunate experience of dining at dinemore for the first time, and it was nothing short of disappointing. Seems like the kandy dinemore branch has turned into "Don't care mode." First and foremost, the service was abysmal. The waitstaff seemed completely disinterested in attend...

WorldSpice - KCC

Food court

👍 We had an Indian and an Italian dish. Price has increased due to high inflation but worth for the money. All the dishes in the menu will be prepared within 10-15 minutes. Same with beverages. Cooking stations are very clean. You can see the meals being prepared. Wide seating areas are available....

Vito Wood Fired Pizza

Pizza restaurant

🫤 To start with there is not enough parking space available. The road leading up to the restaurant is also very narrow. Barely two vehicles can cross. So if you were to come here during busy hours you'll find it difficult to park your vehicle. We literally had to wait about 20 minutes to park our car....

Slightly Chilled Lounge Bar and Restaurant

Asian fusion restaurant

👍👍 Definitely took me by surprise. Located in a very unassuming vintage building... But once you go upstairs to where the restaurant is.. The view is amazing.

Cafe The Vibe

Restaurant

🫤 The reason why i gave 2 star is this place is good for couples and friends just to enjoy or take some good photos. If not ill be rate this as 0. To be honest FOOD is not worth for the price.
