Colombo Social: Lankan Bar & Kitchen

Good was great especially the roti, definitely will come back

I’m a massive foodie and could fault nothing. That pork curry was something else as were the deviled prawns!

Service was really great and the food was lovely. Would go again

Food was inventive and delicious. We will definitely be back!

Great staff great food thanks you so much will return thanks

Very friendly staff, love the attitude ! ... :) :)

Amazing food and friendly staff. Great atmosphere and interior decor. Will be back!

When we arrived our reserved table was ready straight away. It then took some time for anyone to come to the table to ask about drinks or if we had any questions about the menu. The food was fine, but a little bland. I had the vegetable curry but was just a bit like some coconut milk with some curry powder. It was disappointing as I had been looking forward to going. Maybe it was just an off night.

Food was tasty but portions small, a Sri Lankan with us said the food wasn't authentic. Noisy thumping music wasn't turned down when requested. Wine was expensive. Obviously I'm in a minority , the place was crowded.

Beautiful space and amazing food. We will definitely be back

Great food . . . . . . . .

Awesome food, beautiful atmosphere and great cocktails. Definitely going back.

Great experience, very tasty modern Sri Lankan cuisine, and I like the social aspect of the restaurant too.

Everything about it was excellent, from the amazing staff to the food which was the perfect fusion of delicious an satisfying.

Service was great, food was fresh and the drinks lovely

A delicious variety of food - the banquet was hearty and we left full and happy! Friendly and helpful staff - Rosie was a delight - who clearly believe in the initiatives they are supporting. Till next time!

Awesome!!! Great food, great drinks, great service. Had a lovely time.

Really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Excellent customer. Will definitely recommend

Amazing tasty food and great service - we will be back!

Food was good, not authentic Sri Lankan though Bit noisy Great service and

Great food - ordered to much but everything was great. In particular, loved the marrow pan roll, snack pack and the kottu roti (which we got with pulled lamb).

Lovely staff, good food, great atmosphere, well priced! Service was slow but I realize this restaurant is only just opened. Wish this place all the best and look forward to returning.

Fantastic food, a must try, will definitely be returning for that eggplant dish!

The mains - curries - really authentic. Entrees are a bit alternative, but still nice. I think the entrees are pricey compared to mains. Excellent venue, great staff.

Was really lovely, the curries ate not for the faint hearted though as even the mildest curry is very hot 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Loved the roti taco, goat curry & the hoppers. Perfect level of spiciness & taste. The staff were very friendly & service was quick. Would have been great if there was pol roti to go with the curry. Probably would have been a perfect combo. Definitely worth another visit though!

Tasty food but slow service and they forgot to bring some of our dishes.

The curries needed more flavour and seasoning in order to tell them apart, beside that food was good. Portions could of been a little bigger based on the price.

Lots of potential here, but delivery needs some work - long wait times for food and drinks (we waited about 30 minutes for drinks, then another 20-30 for food - we were seated at 5pm with only a few other tables). The staff were lovely though and food was good - the only thing I'd say is that $15 for a few pieces of corn is a bit much. Otherwise, all yummy.

Good menu selection, soft shell roti and snack pack were our favourites. Will recommend to others.

Was a bit bright to start with but lights were dimmed later on, making it a lot more comfortable. Will return.

Food was great. Service needs a hec of a lot improvement

Great atmosphere, lovely food and friendly staff. Shaun, well done!

The food was inventive and delicious, as were the cocktails. The server team was friendly and efficient. And the philosophy behind the restaurant is commendable. We will certainly be back regularly.

Great food and ambience. The mix of traditional and fusion Sri Lankan, coupled with the relaxed atmosphere made for a great night. The owner, Shaun also went out of his way to make sure every table was looked after

Loved it! A true Newtown experience. Lovely atmosphere and the owner felt like an old friend. Food is delicious - and a lot of it spicy!

Beautiful food, beautiful venue, great cause. We really enjoyed our Christmas Eve dinner here. The food was fragrant, flavours sublime, a delight all round!

A restaurant with a big heart, great food, and friendly vibes

Colombo Social is such a wonderful restaurant - the food is incredible, the staff are so friendly and the space is warm and inviting. I can't wait to return!

The food lacked flavour and seasoning. most dishes were just super spicy and not a lot else.

It was a pleasant surprise and great food and atmosphere

The food, hospitality, decor and ethos were flawless!!! We honestly had the best meal of our life, we loved the sharing style meal and there were so many amazing vegan options for us. The highlights were definitely ama's veg curry with the hoppers (TO.DIE.FOR!) And the beetroot bhaji's. We will absolutely be back... Colombo Social will be a new regular for us!

Staff were great! Double checked dietary requirements with us Owner was also very accommodating when we turned up with more people than we booked for.

Pleasant atmosphere and good service. Liked the menu except the goat curry is too hot.More Indian. I didn't experience that level of heat in a curry when I lived there for 4 months. Also the egg hopper mixture is not right.

fantastic menu and awesome food. Service was great - will be going back again for certain.

This is a nice place, they love what they are doing - and its reflected in the food

Fabulous service, loved everything about our visit there ... especially the hoppers!!!

Amazing food with friendly service. Very attentive and always quick to respond to queries. very reasonable prices.

Wonderful, friendly staff. The restaurant is beautiful, has such a relaxing calm vibe. The portions are smaller than I expected but the food was good

We were 20 minutes late and they were still accommodating and welcoming (apologies!). The food was excellent and service also. I would definitely recommend. The prawns particularly tasty. Thank you guys.
