Colombo Street Food in Sheffield

Visited Colombo Street Food yesterday for the first time.... It was delicious! The garlic chili chicken curry was so good, large portion of chicken and was served by a lovely, smiley couple at the stall. Would thoroughly recommend and a really nice atmosphere in the food hall. Overall great lunch

Delicious food, lovely friendly service! Have been mamy times... Always have something different.. Always very tasty... Looking forward to our next visit!

Absolutely delicious food - perfect level of spice and so tasty. Make sure you get the amazing deserts too. Such friendly service too. We’ll be back!

Fantastic food!!! We shared a handful of different dishes and they were all delicious! Can't wait to come back

Had some lunch here today and had to send both dishes back. I had red beef curry and the beef was hard to chew through I couldn’t eat it. It was solid hard. My friend had chicken that came out covered in grease and like dirty takeaway food. Would not recommend at all. I am unsure how the staff decided to serve the food after looking at it today.

Really flavoursome. We had the Mutton kothtu which had amazing spice with a deep background heat , very friendly staff who help us choose a bunch of side dishes . Really recommend for a taste of something different at an amazing price

Really good Sri Lankan street food. Would come here again for the food and the vibes. Highly recommend it👌

I visited Colombo Street Food today for brunch and was mightily impressed. I had the mutton kothtu which was a new dish to me but I'm so glad I tried it because it was delicious. Such a lovely couple running the stall; the service was friendly, welcoming and helpful and the food was cooked with love and care, it was incredibly delicious and the portion sizes were spot on. I would thoroughly recommend visiting Colombo Street Food if you are in the area and want to sample delicious and authentic Sri Lankan food.

We've been going to columbo on eccy road regularly,so were so happy to find out they're now at Orchard square!!!!!! Food qaulity,price and portions are AMAZING!!!! We had chicken kohta and chicken nasi goreng,insanely good!!!!!! Will definitely come back :)

Amazing food and friendly staff

Just had the most amazing vegan curry here. They had a choice of 4, chose the jackfruit one, tastiest vgn curry I can ever remember having , good value too. This is a food court vibe place and prices lower accordingly vs full service places. Will return to this one next time in Sheffield

Don't bother ordering from here. The food is really poor and the hygiene of the staff is somewhat to be desired. The lass is blowing her nose on a flannel that she keeps on the counter and isn't washing her hands between nose wipes. Had t9 take food back as its not fit for human consumption. You shouldn't nearly break your teeth on a bed bun and the chicken broke into shards. Absolutely vile.

Food was absolutely amazing, portions sizes are really good, we even had leftovers to take away. The menu has a wide variety of options. Would certainly recommend if you're in the city centre and looking for somewhere to eat in.

First time here, just got a light bite option for the kids. Food was absolutely amazing, freshly made infront of us. The service was great, really kind man who served us. Also in a lovely little food hall. So nice to finally have some good Sri Lankan food in sheff!

Friendly staff and great food. Definitely worth a visit

I was SO excited to try this place, as I absolutely love Sri Lankan food, and it's difficult to come across outside of London. However, I was really disappointed with this place. I got the Chicken Kothu, and the cubed? chicken was so dry and flavourless, I couldn't eat it. The Kothu itself was okay, but tasted nothing like what I expected, with none of the authentic, distinctive Sri Lankan flavours. I think the name of the place is also quite deceptive, because much of the menu comprises cuisines which are, to my knowledge, definitely not Sri Lankan... I would not eat here again.

It was an amazing experience at Colombo Street Food today. The food that I ordered were Chicken Nasi Goreng and Devil Chicken with Fried rice and they were deliciously made and I ordered a chocolate biscuit pudding for the dessert which was even tastier. A must try spot if you visit Sheffield.

Loved Kothu, and the staff was also lovely, specially the lady who served us was very friendly and helpful with the menu. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience. Cheers to the team

Aastha made our food she was wonderful… took care of everything… we asked her to customise the order…took care of everything… wonderful help and customer service

Service fine and atmosphere fine but food was massively underhwleming and disappointing. Asked for their recommendation and was recommended the Nasi Goreng. It was incredibly bland and had no real taste. It wasn't offensive by any means just incredibly average, couldn't even be bothered to finish it, threw it in the bin after a few fork fulls and went and bought something that actually had taste to it. Swerve this dish if you want food with actual taste.

Stale chicken in pasta, pasta as fine as rice, very long wait. Really tasteless, I don't recommend it, Thai and Mexican cuisine were better 👎👎

2/5 stars is a push to be honest from me, was close to giving it a 1/5 stars. It will be first time for me and the last time. I didn't enjoy the food, it was nothing special, considering that I paid almost £13 for my meal it lacked quality and taste in my eyes. Food was edible, just not enjoyable. I'm going to be honest, my bowel had a negative effect after the food and I could tell it was going to happen when consuming the chicken. Overall, there are more cons than pros, (pros - friendly staff and variety of food options). I got the paratha wrap with chicken and fries, my wife got the vegan tofu noodles, she gave it a 3/5. I wish the business all the best in the future and hope others have a better experience.

Such good food. The chicken and prawn nasi goreng is amazing.

The food and service was outstanding. We will definitely be returning.

Absolutely delicious food - I can't handle much spice so was recommended the rice dish - full of flavor and beautifully presented. The sweet potato bhajis are TO DIE FOR! Will 100% be ordering from here again, staff recommendations were on point.

The restaurant boasts an array of Sri Lankan delights, including egg plant curry and Kotthu, bursting with authentic flavors.

Great and authentic Sri Lankan street food. Friendly and helpful staff! The light bites and Devil specials are especially nice

Hot & fresh with a delicious balance of spice - chose a garlic chicken curry and partner had beef . Was expecting some rotti perhaps / hoppers? but the rice & curry was joyous . Very reasonable price for a tasty swift lunch. Classic Sri Lankan friendly service too - thank you so much - sincerely recommend.

The beetroot curry is one of the best meals I have ever tasted. I had it last night at Orchard Square in Sheffield and it was delicious. Can't wait to go back and have it again.

Super friendly service and unique food that I keep going back for. Been 10+ times and it's consistently delicious. 10/10

I'm coeliac and Nipau went above and beyond to prepare my food safely and gluten free. The food was delicious - thank you Nipau!

The tastiest food, always served fresh and spicy!

Food was really tasty. Lovely people. We will definitely be going back. Highly recommended.

Nice food. Could do with bit more of a description of what you are ordering.

Colombo Street Food at Orchard Square in Sheffield is a gem for food enthusiasts! I recently tried their chicken Kothu Paratha and was blown away by the amazing flavors and high-quality preparation. The dish was truly exceptional, bursting with delightful flavors. The quality was top-notch, and it’s evident they take pride in their culinary expertise. If you’re looking for authentic and delicious Sri Lankan street food in Sheffield, Colombo Street Food is an absolute must-visit!

We popped into Sheffield Plate as we were passing. Tried the Sri Lankan food from Colombo and it was delicious. Tender beef in a flavourful dish, and lamb patties that actually tasted of lamb. Will definitely be eating here again!

Went to Sheffield Plate for a birthday celebration and 4 of us had meals from Colombo. I had the jalthara mutton curry and it was delicious. The mutton was lovely and tender and the curry had a nice depth of flavour. The woman who served me was very helpful and took time to explain all the dishes to help us all decide. We will definitely be ordering from Colombo again.

I am half srilankan so was excited to order food here even though it was expensive but I was thoroughly disappointed. Bland food tasted like curry powder, no accompaniment came though the menu had it listed, missed off request and missed off items from order. Won't bother to order from here again.

I recently had the pleasure of trying Colombo Street Food's Devil Chicken Rice, and I must say, it was an absolute delight! The flavors were spot-on, and I couldn't have asked for a better meal. I loved it so much that I'm already looking forward to my next visit. If you're a fan of delicious food, this dish is a must-try!

I only got one dish from this restaurant, but it was very tasty! The dish I got was the chicken rolls and they were stuffed with chicken in a fragrant curry sauce. Very nice I would definitely recommend for a snack! Super quick service as well!

I'm keen on food halls/markets/courts and was intrigued to find a Sri Lankan option. Perhaps my mistake was ordering nasi goreng - a dish more associated with Indonesian and Malay cuisine, but the description at the stall did claim that the dish is popular on the streets of Colombo. The dish was basically flavourless and very disappointing. Probably the worst nasi goreng I've had anywhere.

Amazing food in a great atmosphere 👌

Friendly and helpful staff. Delicious food and a great choice of vegan dishes.

We had the Devil Fries with Chicken. Amazing sweet and spicy flavour. Like no other flavour I've ever had.

Really delicious with loads of choice! The devil rice is not for the faint hearted but amazing if you’re that way inclined.

Got the mixed Kothtu, never had it before anywhere else but if it’s supposed to taste of raw curry powder and burnt onions then it was bangin.

Vegan jackfruit kothtu was absolutely amazing. Full of flavour, if I had more room I'd order another one! Amazing food.

I always love coming to Sheffield Plate, lovely atmosphere and friendly staff all around. This time in particular I ordered a Garlic Chili Chicken Curry & Rice with a portion of Kanda Bhajis from Colombo Street Food... Holy moley it was absolutely divine! I'm normally a slow eater but after one bite I could feel myself accelerating, towards the end of the dish I'd turned into an insatiable feral beast. Absolutely fantastic food!

Absolutely horrible take away we got today. Please do not visit this place. This is not srilankan food. Loss of our time and money.

Had various dishes, can't choose a favourite between devil rice and nasi goreng. Reallly yummy!

I'd pay more if I could But they take timeee

Second time ordering here and has been amazing both times! I ordered the beef kothtu second time round, and it's full of flavour, served with a runny fried egg on top that was perfect. Quick service and friendly staff 🙂

Colombo @ Sheffield Plate made a great change from the standard fastfood outlets on most main streets. The Sri Lanka Kothtu chicken and prawn had an amazing spicy taste to it Food was cooked to order and arrived hot and tasty. Situated inside the food hall alongside other street style kiosks, plenty of seating was available inside and out with a bar if you fancied a beer with your meal. Definitely coming here again, tasty food, great venue and atmosphere made this outing a very nice experience, far far better than the fast food outlets you see in every town and city across the UK. Give this review a thumbs up if you think this will be helpful for others.

Their chocolate biscuit pudding is absolutely amazing, I forgot to write a review last time, but I’m coming back again today just to have it, it was so chocolaty and amazing

Fantastic chicken kottu. Would highly recommend.

Good flavour, but I really don't see why they leave the prawn shells in the kothtu. Not a fan, I'm afraid.

This is located in one of these 'street food' 'dining halls', that are becoming so widespread these days, in what was once a branch of Costa. It's got about half a dozen different stalls with at least two of them unmanned the day I went in. There's loud music and the most popular places are a burger outlet and a bar downstairs. There weren't many people when I went in and everyone was sitting in their coats as people kept leaving the entrance door open and there was a very cold draught. I've been to Sri Lanka several times and enjoyed the food though I wouldn't claim to be an expert on it. I am, however, a keen cook and make a lot of South Asian food which I try to make as authentic as possible. I particularly like South Indian, especially Keralan, food which is very similar to the Tamil food you get in Sri Lanka. It took me a while to get sserved as the woman in the Colombo stall was doing something on the stove and kept her back to me despite attempts to attract her attention. I ordered Mutton Devil for £10. It took about 15-20 minutes waiting for it to arrive. It was very disappointing: the mutton was undercooked and tough (yet strangely rather tasteless) and the sauce much sweeter and stickier than the ones I'd had on the island itself. It was a generous portion although bulked out with onion and green pepper. It was served in a flattish cardboard container with a piece of paper in the bottom, rice on top of that and the mutton on top of that. The sauce from the mutton soaked through the paper and into the cardboard which began to fall apart. The eating implement provided was a wooden fork which was too blunt and soft to penetrate the onions and green pepper, let alone the mutton, so I ended up using it as a scoop. It's very unlikely I'll go back either to Colombo or the food hall in general.

We regularly visit the food hall. But I tried colombo for the first time today. WOW. The portion was gigantic. Could have easily filled 2 of us. I had the mutton devil rice . The mutton just melted In the mouth. Chunky veg and amazing sauce. I asked for it spicy, and they didn't hold back ♨️🥵 The seekh kebabs are great for a side. Give it a try. It's amazing food

Superb unique dining in Sheffield city centre. Excellent value for money, generous portions and great atmosphere.

The delivery was quick, but the food (Chicken kottu) was way too salty !

Get the most delicious Sri Lankan food and drinks here.👌👌👌

I ordered a chicken kothu (After reading reviews about this place being authentic) It was salty and had no other flavor to it. Sorry but I wouldnt buy again.

I enjoyed the spiciness and sweetness of the chicken devil. It was a generous portion and my only small criticism is that it would have benefitted from more sauce and more tender chicken.

Delicious. Bhaji’s and vegan khofti. Yum yum.

Great authentic Sri lankan Street food, in a convenient city centre location, perfect for a lunchtime. We really enjoyed the vegan kotthu.

This is a great little place. I had the Devil Chicken and it was nice and spicy as advertised. Really good portion and very tasty.

Looking for a quick, warming lunch, I can highly recommend the Chicken Kothtu, especially as part of the lunch deal (scroll down to the bottom of the menu accessed from the table qr code). Service was quick, though being a midweek visit, the foodhall wasn't as busy as it might otherwise be. The Kothtu was filling, and very tasty. A nice change from a curry dish with rice, the chicken was full of flavour and it disappeared at a rate of knots. The foodhall in general is a great place to grab a bite, but if you're stuck on what to have, I can at least recommend Colombo for value and tastiness!
