Colombo 7 in Chiltern

Beautiful, authentic Sri Lankan food served in an inviting atmosphere with friendly staff who manage to get the level of attentiveness just right. Not to mention the delicious cocktails! (A must try: the heavenly cauliflower wings.)

This has become one of my favourite places to eat locally. The food is imaginative, beautifully balanced spicing, and superbly cooked and presented

Really top notch. Heard a lot about the place and I can happily confirm that it exceeded my already very high expectations, particularly as Sri Lankan cuisine is probably my favourite of all cuisines.

Went last night for the first time. Food blew us away, such amazing flavours and interesting dishes that we had not not tried before. Will be back.

Tried Columbo 7 after reading the good reviews, and definitely not disappointed. This is Sri Lankan food, but elevated to the next level. Fragrant and delicate, and each dish packed with so much flavour - it's hard to pick a favourite. So much attention to detail, perfect portion sizes, and great service on a busy Saturday evening. Could be my new favourite restaurant!

Absolutely fantastic experience. Service was great The owner is so friendly The food was outstanding, menu is fab! Atmosphere was vibrant.

Stunning food and such a cosy atmosphere! Cannot fault a single thing here!

A real gem of a restaurant in Amersham! The food was delicious and full of flavour. The scallops in particular were so well cooked. Wonderful atmosphere with a cosy feel. Highly recommend

Exceptional meal, exceptional service, exceptional experience. We are veggie and were initially slightly concerned that there was only one veggie main. However, there are MANY veggie options. We ordered several starters and sides, there wasn’t one dish I would not order again. Well done to Colombo 7!

Absolutely fantastic and fabulous food! This place is a hidden gem in Amersham. The dishes, from the squid to the beef dish all made and tasted wonderful. The boys loved the Mango Lassi, delicious! A lovely service too. The ambience of this restaurant is amazing!

By far one of the best restaurants in Amersham (top and bottom). We have never had a bad meal in here. Always such an interesting, ever changing menu and far different from a large menu you’d find in any ‘chain’, mediocre restaurant. Perfect for sharing having shared everything we ordered. The staff are fantastic and friendly and any request never seems to be a problem. We have recommended this place to so many friends and they have never been disappointed… Amersham’s little gem!

Had a lovely meal with friends - they were really great with my allergies (nuts and eggs) and made me feel comfortable with everything I ate. On top of that it was absolutely delicious, especially the Jaggery Beef. Would definitely recommend and go back.

Incredible dining experience. Staff were super attentive and Harsh (the owner) was always available for advice on the menu. Great chatting to him about his vision for the restaurant. Food wise: Highly recommend the venison, wild boar and beef brisket. The mutton rolls and squid starters were the best we’ve ever had!! 10/10! Prediction: Michelin rosette within 12 months!! Well done guys!

Super disappointing birthday dinner. Family of 5. Servers took ages to come over after we sat down, and the service didn’t improve from there. We ordered some drinks and one of each starter on the menu, as the menu is very limited. Starters were really good (other than the chicken livers) but too small to share really, which is how we like eat, and they were gone in a few minutes. And then the wait began… Two waitresses for the number of people in this (small) restaurant appeared too few, as we had no drinks and no food for about 25 minutes. Eventually, I went to the bar to order drinks from a waitress behind the bar. They eventually came and the waitress dumped the bottle of wine on the table and left us to it… We had to flag down a waitress to order mains. The mains were disappointing - the prawn & chicken rice was dry and tacked flavour (my son was looking for sweet chilli sauce and soya sauce - wrong I know, but it needed something, I tasted it), the roast chicken curry was tasty but very basic (lacked depth of flavour) and the wild boar curry I had was much too salty (I add salt everything!) and the curry sauce tasted like the spices had not been cooked long enough. We have travelled to Sri Lanka, which is why we ate here, but this food tasted nothing like to food we had in Sri Lanka. Great service can make up for mediocre food. The trouble though is that poor service can ruin an evening, even if the food is reasonable, and that is the case here.

Great food if a little expensive - £20 for a dosa! Service was good but they asked us to leave at 9.30 despite their website saying they close at 11. Another table had asked for their bill and there were no other diners so I figure they just wanted us gone so they could go home.

Consistency and quality. Every dish is just exceptional. My french mother is the absolute hardest to please when eating out, it was so good she was moved to go and tell the kitchen how excellent it was at the end. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough.

The food here is amazing and well priced, the flavours are really special. Also has a lovely interior and ambiance

We had high expectations but they were exceeded. The service and attention was excellent but the food was outstanding. The jaggery beef is something I cant wait to come back to have again plus the dhal, try the dhal! Already planning my next visit.

Another fabulous night at this lovely restaurant. The food choices are amazing and the presentation and flavours of the food are just to die for. We all opted for different main courses with a selection of vegetable sides and we could not fault any of the dishes chosen. Our starters were excellent also, can thoroughly recommend the cauliflower wings a definite favourite of mine. We will certainly return thank you.

I can't believe I haven't been here before when I have heard so many positive reviews about this place! Hash and his team were wonderful and attentive and it was difficult to choose from the wide selection of dishes. Everything we ate was beautifully presented and had real depth of flavour. I would recommend the devilled cauliflower wings starter and the asian aubergine aswell as the cashew nut and pea curry side. My chicken snd prawn fried rice was delicious snd my friend enjoyed the sea bass. It's a pity we didn't have room to sample the desserts.. I'll definitely be back - thank you!

Been looking for THE spot since moving from central London. This is it. Flavours transported us right back to our time in Sri Lanka. Delicious.

Very authentic Sri Lankan food with slight twist with a western influence. Lovely!!

Quite simply one of the best meals I've had! The first bite of butter squid we both looked at each other in amazement at how delicious it was. The dhal is made with coconut milk l, deliciously creamy. We had a wide selection of dishes and without exception they were all brilliant. I also devoured a couple of glasses of their home made ginger beer and Lion beer which brought back very happy memories of my trip to Sri Lanka. The decor and service are also brilliant and a meal out at Colombo7 is a real treat. Can't wait for my next visit!

What a place- absolutely wonderful food, attentive service from the owner. Quite quiet for a Friday, but middle of school holidays in Amersham is quiet everywhere! Superb flavours and combinations, brilliant array of dishes- will be back to try the others!

A really warm welcome, the team were so friendly. Service was great. Food was delicious! I had the butter squid to start and the sea bass with scallop curry for the main course. My husband had the mutton rolls to start and the wild boar curry for his main, so tasty and full of flavour. We will definitely book again!

Ate here with some friends and every single dish was amazing with real depth of flavour. Service was lovely, really friendly, and they were absolutely brilliant with allergies. Loved it!!

Had a fantastic meal really enjoyed everything we ordered between us (pretty much the whole menu) Looking forward to a return visit

Fiod was giod but servuce very slow. We waited more than 1 h for the food.

Food is absolutely amazing, service really bad FOOD,- really interesting dishes packed with flavours. Squd stater is a must have and beef brisket main was perfect. SERVICE -Awful, the 2 young girls were clueless, not able to describe menu or actually give any service at all. Not offer pudding or coffee menu, offering extra drink etc. Sad as food was sensational

Probably the best food in Amersham Excellent Well Done Hash !!!!

Pre warning... its expensive... But worth it for a treat meal out or for a special occasion. It food doesn't disappoint. Its fresh and filling, great favour Staff were friendly and helpful

I wasn't sure what to expect as I've never experienced Sri Lankan cuisine. I was completely blown away by the presentation, the layers and depth of flavours of every dish which I wasn't expecting. Sorry to say, I don't believe I'll be going back to an Indian restaurant for some time. Colombo 7 is definitely my first choice for eating out, lovely restaurant, equally lovely staff and an amazing chef.

Had an incredible meal tonight - couldn’t fault it. The flavours were delicious, the portions good and incredibly well cooked. We will be going again!

A really lovely restaurant. The food is delicious, freshly cooked, fragrant with some interesting and different choices that are well worth trying. Great service, definitely worth a try

Really lovely restaurant, amazing food

Never had SriLankan food before, amazing food & great beer. Will come back.

Lucked out when finding this place. Cafe style from the exterior, more bistro style inside, so inviting. Food will knock your socks off - we tried a variety of dishes and every one was sublime. The chicken curry particularly good, oh and the beef, well pretty much everything we had - about 12 dishes between four of us. Great veggie options. We’ll be back!

This restaurant is beautiful. The food is exceptional, a small but delicious menu, everything is so so fresh and tasty. Really lovely atmosphere, relaxed and you are not rushed. Staff were lovely, really helpful. Its a must visit place

Chose this location as somewhere different to try and was not disappointed. Staff were lovely, ambience was spot on and the food was delicious. Couldn't fault it, will definitely return. Recommend everyone to take a visit.

Hash helped us host a fantastic and very successful fund raising dinner at Colombo 7, in aid of Anthony Nolan. 50 guests had a brilliant evening in this lovely restaurant. The star of the show was the delicious food, everyone loved it. The atmosphere is so welcoming and friendly, this restaurant is a real gem.

Beautiful restaurant with great staff only overshadowed by the insanely good food - thank you!

Really good food. Menu is a little limited, but it is changed frequently. Not a cheap meal, but nice for a treat. Make sure to try the desserts!

Food tasted amazing , Venison steak and Jaggery beef were so special. Paratha could've been bit fresher.

Brilliant food, impeccable service and amazing atmosphere every time. Would recommend to anyone.

Absolutely delicious food, lovely staff, enjoyable music! Highly recommend!

The food is amazing, such great flavours and the staff are fantastic.

The exterior doesn’t do this restaurant justice. Inside it felt authentic, cosy and had a lovely atmosphere. The staff were lovely and the food was tasty. A reasonable price for a nice dinner treat.

Ate dinner with some friends at Colombo 7 and really enjoyed our meal together. Food is really tasty and just the right level of spice for all tastes. Starters of squid, samosas and beef all delicious and 2 mains with 3 sides more than enough for 4. Staff friendly and helpful and restaurant nice and busy on a Saturday night. Will be heading back to explore more of the menu.

Amazing service, the waitress and chef couldn't do enough for us. Whatever we asked they did everything they could to deliver, above and beyond - thankyou for a lovely evening. The cassava was the softest and healthiest version of this dish I have ever had - not deep fried but somehow had crispiness - brilliant . Thankyou for a lovely time

So good. Amazing food, decor, wine and prices! Keep coming back here and love it ❤️🇱🇰

Excellent food, lovely service and atmosphere Will certainly visit again.

Food was too hot for me, you couldn't taste any of the flavours behind the chilli, which spoilt the meal. It could have been quite nice.

Great place to have good food in Amersham. We had a great time At colombo 7. Very nice team of people always with a smile 😀 Thanks

Restaurant looks (and smells!) really welcoming when you arrive. Great service by lovely people and fantastic food! Loved everything we tried.

Wish I had know about this place before… a hidden gem. Great vibe , delicious food, outstanding service.. easily the best best restaurant for dinner in top Amersham…

Surely the best table of the kind in the area... Thank you for a lovely dinner 😊

Lovely restaurant, the food was all amazing and the atmosphere and staff were great. We had the samosas, cassava chips, dosa, and aubergine side and it was all 10/10.

It was a foul night weatherwise to go out tonight but I'm so glad we did, the food was amazing, not a massive menu but everything was gorgeous. We had two mains and the black pork belly as a starter between two of us and we could only just finish it. The quality of the dishes are top notch, the service is so friendly and the ambience very relaxed,

Honestly, some of the best food I've ever had and outstanding service. This is a must try if you are in the area.

Wow what an amazing restaurant, small and intimate, food is great, well cooked and presented beautifully, with amazing flavours. Loved that it was a small menu, we ordered 2 mains and 4 sides which was plenty for 4 of us. And what was a very pleasant surprise, no service charge! But we were happy to leave a tip for a great night.

My favourite place in Amersham. Great food and friendly staff! Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The food here is DELICIOUS. I recommend the aubergine. So many vegan options and the tastiest I have had in a long time. Service was very relaxed, so maybe not the best if you are in a rush, but great for an evening meal.

Very impressed. The food was outstanding. We would highly recommend.

We always try to as a a group big enough to order one of everything on the menu. The food is authentic and ridiculously good. Popular, so when it’s full, service is stretched, but very good about it.

Excellent meal. Relaxed atmosphere, helpful staff and fantastic food. Unlike any other local curry style food! Will definitely be back!

This is the best place in the whole of Buckinghamshire to go for a meal, a drink or just a chat and some nibbles. Ive been here countless times and it is simply the best food I've ever tasted. On top of the amazing food, the service is fabulous all the staff i’ve met have all been amazing and friendly. Finally, the drinks variety is great with some unique spirits and a brand of lager and stout that i’ve not seen anywhere else. I really cannot recommend this place enough!

Food was lovely and service was great :) thank you very much. Staff went the extra mile for us too! Grateful :)

A fab restaurant with all you could hope for. Beautiful food (adapted with allergies in mind), excellent friendly attentive service, gorgeous setting. Over ordered so both looking forward to enjoying the rest tomorrow. Excellent.

Ate here recently for the first time and loved it! Sharing lots of dishes is definitely the way to do it, for the variety of food and flavours. Also great for vegetarians, as all the of the sides/sharing dishes are veggie. Service a little slow but it was a Friday night and the pleasant staff and amazing food made up for it! Will definitely be back.

The food really is delicious, lovely flavours and textures. I really liked the interior and the music was lots of well known songs slightly remixed to fit the atmosphere perfectly. The food can be quite spicy, so I would strongly recommend the mango lassi. They also very kindly gave us a free brownie for it being a birthday visit

Colombo 7 is a fab Sri Lankan in Amersham, had dinner there last night and it was perfect: delicious food , cosy, intimate, great service and can cater for pretty much any allergen! 😃

Lovely unique food, relaxed atmosphere. Friendly staff. Would recommend early seating or make sure you book in advance.

We booked here last minute so weren't expecting much but what a gem! Beautiful dining room and ambience, lovely staff, and the food was fabulous. My husband had slow cooked beef which he was raving about, and the vegan options were also delicious and clearly marked on the menu. The crunchy cauliflower starter was so good!

Amazing food, so fresh and tasty. Staff are great too, highly recommend!

First time trying this restaurant last night. We ordered takeaway. Beautifully presented food even in takeaway containers, and absolutely delicious. There are too few Sri Lankan restaurants in the UK, but this one is doing something special. The smells and tastes transported us back to Sri Lanka. We are looking forward to exploring more of the menu on our next visit!

What a hidden gem. This place is up there with all the fine dining venues in Old Amersham. Great service. I’m a real foodie and this place nails it . Try the lamb rump . It’s not all about the meat. My wife is a vegan and she was really impressed. We will definitely be going back!

First time here and the food and service was brilliant! Small menu but great choices to suit all palette’s. The Devilled Cauliflower Wings were so good! Will definitely be dining here again.

What a fantastic restaurant. Gorgeous decor and ambience, lovely staff and wow the food to die for. We had a combination of dishes all of which were stunning - the samosas to start, chicken curry, prawn and chicken rice, aubergine side dish and courgette and cucumber side dish. Was also very good value. Will definitely return!

We dined here for a birthday. The food and service were just excellent. Gabriel and Astel looked after us throughout the meal. It was friendly, casual and very relaxed. Making for a wonderful evening. The food was delicious. There are so many flavours and plenty of choice. Everything was homemade and beautifully presented. This is definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. Prices were very fair. The interior decoration is really well thought out, too. Lots of lovely little touches. Great restaurant. Thank you!

We stumbled across this restaurant by accident and so very glad we did. Incredible food prepared with thought and love. Everything was delicious and reasonably priced for the high quality. Nice service too. We’ll be back!!

Thought we try a new place and we were pleasantly surprised. Had the aubergine side which I highly recommend, although on the sweet side. Had the jaggery beef which had great flavours although slightly over cooked for my preference. We tried the coconut sorbet however it was too sweet for us. One recommendation to the restaurant is to improve the ventilation as we left with our clothes smelling like we were in the kitchen. Great food though.

Very nice restaurant and greta good. The beef is the best and the pineapple salad is divine. The squid apetizer is a must. The chicken curry and dal cpuld be better with a more seasoned taste. The staff is very helpful and kind. I recommend this place.

Interesting menu with some unusual dishes. Everything was very nicely cooked, very tasty and nicely presented. The service was very attentive , friendly and efficient.

Just amazing! Honestly couldn't fault it. Every course was delicious. Service was great and good value for money.

Best food we have had in years. Great place

We went to Columbo 7 to celebrate a birthday with a group of friends and had the most wonderful evening. Hash and team did everything they could to make sure we enjoyed ourselves, nothing was too much trouble. Everyone around the table had their favourite dish from the Sri Lankan menu but all agreed that the standard was fantastically high and everything both looked and tasted delicious.

Had dinner last Friday with friends and I have to say everything was perfect, the food was beautifully cooked, 3 of us had salmon with asparagus, absolutely awesome, the service from Gabriel the manager and his team was second to none, the atmosphere was really...

Great addition to amersham. Brilliant food, a friendly relaxed environment. A defo 'yes' when you want to try something different from the norm , and defo won't be disappointed. A genuine recommendation that this place is a must!

Beautiful experience of Sri Lankan food. The service was friendly and attentive. Some tables are quite close to one another, but the atmosphere is warm. Note for quality wine lovers: Limited choice. The owner kindly agreed to corkage. Perfect night out.

Delicious takeaway! Great selection of dishes, super tasty - couldn’t fault any of them. Highlights were the dhal, green bean and cashew, sweet potato, chicken, venison and paratha. So good !

I never usually leave reviews but on this occasion I simply had to as we had the most exquisite meal last night! It was an impromptu meal out so we were lucky there was a table available and what a treat we had. Lovely ambience,...

This Sri Lankan restaurant is definitely worth a visit . The atmosphere is terrific the decor is stylish and the food is fabulous . Impeccable service and all in all a really great addition to Amersham’s restaurant scene .

Not one to write reviews normally but we just came back from here and had an absolutely fantastic meal and a lovely experience! Highly recommended and hope they stay around for a while. The food was so tasty and the service right on point!

Excellent service, excellent food. We couldn’t fault anything. The whole experience was lovely. It was our 54th wedding anniversary though we didn’t tell them that. But we couldn’t have picked a nicer venue.

My partner tried to book for my birthday but they were full, he tried again and they managed to fit us in and looked after us like kings , even give me a complimentary glass of bubbles. The food was absolutely delicious, it was a...

It’s a difficult one to review as some things we found are very good about this restaurant and some not so good. The ambiance, front of house staff and service were all very good. The difficulty is in reviewing the food. The papadums were good...

Great to come to a well run small and very friendly restaurant with excellent and attentive service and a menu with different and great food choices. The food itself was vey well presented and the flavours and spice well balanced . Highly recommended.

We were so well looked after by this wonderful restaurant. We didn’t have a reservation and they squeezed us in last minute and we are so glad they did. From the moment we walked through the door we were well looked after by the front...

Five stars! Great food, service, and atmosphere.
