Colombo Social: Lankan Bar & Kitchen

Great staff, food, experience and cause. Will recommend to others

My favorite new local restaurant. 6th time that I have been here in a few weeks! The owner Shaun is so lovely too, he makes it a lovely experience.

Excellent food. Very authentic. Great service. Will be going back for sure.

Gorgeous food, spicy and very tasty - lamb was super tender, it was fabulous.

Fantastic food and value. Can’t wait to come back. Totally recommend .

My friends and I loved the food here! Having traveled around Sri Lanka this brought back some good memories. Portions were perfect and the egg hoppers were great. Loved the cocktails too :)

Relaxed friendly ambience.Delicious food.Quality drink menu. Great value for money.

The head waiter was warm, friendly, knowledgeable and genuine. He offered suggestions on suitable menu items to suit our dietary requirements as well as levels of spice according to our taste. We watched him deal with a difficult (unreasonable) customer at another table beautifully, with a smile on his face and a professional manner. He went out of his way to accomodate her demands and walked away unfazed. The food was divine, flavour, presentation, portions all perfect. All wait staff were genuine, friendly and efficient and the atmosphere was cosy, stylish, modern and clean. We would absolutely return to try more menu items. Lots of options for vegans too as well as meat eaters.

Been waiting to try Columbo Social for awhile and it didn’t disappoint, I got my booking time wrong but they accommodated us at the bar while we waited for a table. Tried quite a few dishes AAA+

Fabulous food and good for catering for any diary requirements

Service at front desk not great but the rest of the staff were

We enjoyed a lovely evening at this lovely establishment with friends. The food was delicious , my favourites were the chicken curry and the pork curry, reminded me of being in my grandmothers kitchen. We will definitely be back.

The service was wonderful! The owner came over to chat to us about the menu and how his mum designed the ‘traditional’ section. The chilli margarita was next level. Couldn’t recommend this place any higher.

Excellent and well priced food. Lovely staff! Very happy indeed.

Service fantastic. Food was delicious. My only criticism was the lack of AC. Not sure if it’s intentional for the atmosphere or just an off day but it was stifling.

Delicious curries and hopper. Enjoyed the atmosphere and setting. We';; be back.

The food and service was really good. Maybe a little noisy but a good atmosphere

Excellent food, we filled up a bit with the amazing chicken starter, so order that if you’re hungry!

Food and drinks were good. Very noisy and tables were so close together that you couldn’t get out without moving them. Service in general good. No desserts and no goat curry. Would go again to try more on the menu but maybe a weekend lunch

Very tasty food, great ambiance and service. Mallung was misrepresented in the menu.

Great & friendly service, delicious food and a beautifully set interior!

Food was spicy and different. Service exemplary and we were very well.looked after.

Amazing food and excellent service. Could not fault a thing.

Great food, service and atmosphere. The fact asylum seekers and refugees are given what is often their first job in Oz after many knock backs makes it extra special!

Good food, good service. Unfortunately the local beer wasn't available.

The food is authentic and the service and atmosphere made for a great dinner.

Great food made even better by such a wonderful warm and friendly team at Colombo Social. This was my second time dining here. Will definitely be heading back for those tantalising flavours, from the cocktails and drinks to the last mouthful of food. YUM.

Food was 100% delicious. Want to come again but it was extremely noisy. Perhaps invest in sound absorbing materials ??

Fabulous food and great waitstaff. We will be back soon.

Amazing! We really enjoy the food the place. They have an excellent service.

Great modern happening dinning scene. Friendly wait staff, excellent food and wine selection

Beautiful! Only thing I’d fault is I’m too full! Haha. Service was great, food authentic and delicious..some hood hidden spice kicks amongst it, atmosphere lively. We had a lovely evening.

Loved this place! Sri Lankan fusion at its best with curries made by grandmother herself.

Relaxed and friendly service. Great cocktails and sensational food. We're already planning our next visit!

Tasty pork curry, my daughter enjoyed the fried chicken. Friendly service and nice atmosphere

Thanks to Colombo Social staff this was a great experience - tasty food, great drinks and very friendly knowledgeable staff!

Awesome food and atmosphere, friendly attentive staff. All round a great evening and great value

Excellent food, great staff, very attentive, nice decor, would go back!

Good great and service warm and welcoming I’ll be back
