Me animé a visitar este restaurante de 5 años de edad del Soho especializado en comida de Sri Lanka después de leer el informe muy publicitado de un conocido crítico después de comer en su spin-off de 2 meses en Spitalfields. Me llevé su informe de página completa conmigo para asegurarme de que estaba comiendo como, pero decepcionantemente el menú del Soho era muy diferente. No hay cangrejo de cáscara blanda de mantequilla caliente, ni chuletas de cordero especiadas de Jaffna, ni pollo tamarindo. Así termina mi lección - ¡cuidado con adivinar a los críticos gastronómicos aclamados a nivel nacional! Mi hijo menor que fue a Sri Lanka para su luna de miel hace algunos años recomendó la marca León 4. 8 % lager (£ 5 . 90 / 330 ml) que estaba frío y muy bueno. No hay culpa con el chutney de Pappadum y mango (£ 4. 00 ) pero el asado “chatti” de la tía Mo (11 libras esterlinas . 90 ) necesitaba más carne picante y mucho menos tolvas de cuerda. Sin embargo, la sepia caliente (£ 10 . 90 ) en una masa ligera con glaseado de chile especiado era, afortunadamente, bastante delicioso. Para la alimentación, optamos por el pollo al curry de Ceilán (16 €). 90 ) que decepcionó - carne sobrecocida y salsa de tamarindo / coco como una sopa de hombre pobre. Langostinos del rey devilled (£ 19. 90 ) no eran frescos y estaban abrumados por los aromas de chile, tomate y cebolla. Por otro lado, el Dhal Parripu (£ 9 . 50 ) de lentejas rojas cocidas en leche de coco y cúrcuma era sobresaliente. Los dos Sambols - Seeni y Pol (£ 3. 70 ea) apenas merecen comentarios. Esta cocina primitiva de Kolamba parece haber sido superada masivamente por la última encarnación en el este de Londres, que es una parodia para los propietarios. Necesitan mejorar su juego de Soho muy rápidamente si la marca no se va a manchar. Esperaba algo mucho mejor, pero mi paladar no quedó impresionado.

Estuve en la ciudad durante una semana o así y recibí esta recomendación de restaurante y estaba más que feliz de haber parado en. La opción de almuerzo era increíble. Disfruté del arroz de ternera y curry bowl con la empanada de plátano en flor. Añadí una tolva porque no podía dejarla pasar. Todo lo que comí era delicioso y tenía una paleta de sabor robusta rica en especias. Estaba impresionado, la mejor comida auténtica que había comido en un tiempo. La propietaria era encantadora, amable y se podía decir que era muy apasionada por hacer buena comida y compartir sus talentos. El espacio era precioso y acogedor también. ¡Un placer total para el almuerzo! Ojalá pudiera enviar comidas a casa conmigo. Fue una experiencia inolvidable! ¡Gracias!

Nota: esta valoración es para la nueva ubicación en East London. Visitamos como un grupo de 6 en una noche de miércoles. Aunque situado dentro de una calle desierta sin nada más a su alrededor, me sorprendió gratamente a su llegada, ya que la decoración ha sido muy bien hecho, y todo el lugar se siente claramente más lujoso y de moda en comparación con su ubicación original en el Soho. También estaba sorprendentemente ocupado durante un día de semana. Si bien había un menú fijo de £ 55 en oferta para nuestro grupo, optamos por ir a la carta. Probamos los papadums, cangrejo de concha blanda, chuletas de cordero, ternera jaggery, curry de pollo tamarindo, curry de besugo, curry de piña, así como una ronda de tolvas de huevo, unos pol rotis y un poco de arroz. Las porciones son relativamente pequeñas y doblamos en la mayoría de los artículos bajo la guía de nuestro camarero. La comida era muy buena y al igual que el original del Soho no se contuvieron en los chiles! Los 4 del grupo que somos originarios de esta parte del mundo disfrutamos mucho de las especias, pero fue una lucha para los otros 2! Tenga en cuenta que el menú no indicaba qué elementos eran más picantes. Los artículos favoritos en la noche fueron el cangrejo de concha suave y la carne de res jaggery. Probamos el CPB (choc biscuit pudding) de postre y nos decepcionó bastante su versión deconstruida, especialmente después de haber probado la versión normal que es muy superior en mi opinión. El servicio era amable pero muy lento. Para ser justos, en un momento dado les cortaron el suministro de gas, lo que detuvo sus actividades de cocina durante 15 minutos, pero incluso después de permitirlo, creo que el ritmo fue demasiado lento. Curiosamente tuve la misma experiencia en el Soho, y en ambos casos las comidas se extendieron más allá de 3 horas. La cuenta para los seis de nosotros llegó a 522 libras, de las cuales 180 libras se gastaron en bebidas. Esto me pareció bastante razonable. En conclusión, este lugar ofrece algo de auténtica e indómita cocina de Sri Lanka, y la comida en sí es probablemente cerca de la parte superior del paquete dentro de la pequeña pero creciente selección de restaurantes de Sri Lanka en el centro de Londres. Sin embargo, necesitan mejorar su servicio. En comparación con el grupo mencionado anteriormente, este fue fácilmente el más lento del lote, incluso si se descontaba por la interrupción del gas. Espero que solo problemas de dentición en este lugar recientemente inaugurado, aunque soy un poco cauteloso después de mi experiencia similar en su otra ubicación. Dicho esto, les daría otra oportunidad ya que la comida era bastante buena.

Cuatro de nosotros fuimos a comer temprano por la noche en un sábado húmedo y estábamos muy contentos de conseguir una mesa. Compartimos una serie de platos fabulosos, incluyendo el dhal muy sabroso pero picante y las patatas de anacardo. El personal era muy servicial, ya que no sabíamos cuáles eran todos los platos.

£ 16 por un cóctel? Más el cargo por servicio y propina que cuesta £ 20 la bebida. £ 45 para el vino más barato más el servicio que cuesta £ 55. £ 45 para un biriyani vegetariano

Booked for brunch as thought it would make a nice change from the usual eggs and avocado. We sat downstairs as it had ac, and I didn't really want yo sit out on the street. Sadly the music was too low to create any sort of atmosphere. Thankfully the food was good. Ordered the cuttlefish, very tasty. mango and papaya salad, very fresh snd juicy. Jaggery beef , my favourite. Rich in flavour with a kick after a mouthful. Ceylon chicken curry, was good. Kiribath which i enjoyed and roti. Not my favourite, thought it was heavy and thick compared to others I've had. Drinks weren't great. Aperol tasted strange, returned and the second wasn't much better. My wine was flat and was sadly the last glass of that brand. Just as well the food was great and there are plenty of other places about to head for further drinks. All staff were lovely but our server was great. She was so smiley, warm and friendly.

De ontvangst was uitermate vriendelijk. Het voorstel om eigenlijk alle voor en hoofdgerechten met 5 personen te delen werd goed uitgevoerd in 3 ronden. Het eten was heerlijk en de sfeer erg goed. We hebben gegeten op het terras, maar binnen was het ook sfeervol. Zelfs in de kelder werd er gegeten. Het Sri Lankaanse eten is heerlijk en spicy maar niet te.

I found this little Sri Lankan restaurant online, it had great reviews so booked prior to going to see Cabaret at The Kit Kat Club. We had a very interesting tasty meal with a very friendly waitress and chefs who could be seen preparing the food. They were happy to tell me how the food was made. My husband was given a free lime and coconut sorbet with a candle for his birthday - so nice Would recommend

One of the highlights of that glorious food terrace that is the West End’s Kingly Street. Next to a branch of the too ubiquitous Dishoom and deserving at least as much attention Kilomba is a unique restaurant showcasing Sri Lankan cuisine and featuring way beyond hoppers and karis. Think mutton rolls, kingfish curry, the full gamut of idlis and sambols,toasted pumpkin and beetroot. There’s even lunch and brunch menus from the latter of which I greatly enjoyed hot butter cuttlefish either chillis followed by a chicken on the bone curry. Beautiful floral decorations abound. Even two large impressive abstract artworks in pastel hues.

Delicious, authentic food! Highly recommend you check this place out. The menu is for everyone whether you like meat or not, lots of spice or not. Slightly on the pricier side but a treat nonetheless!

Fantastic food, friendly staff and great service as we were on a limited time frame. Food is spicy but not over-heated, and the atmosphere was great- absolutely recommended!

This restaurant warmed my heart. The food was authentically Sri Lankan and really delicious. Special mention to the pea and cashew curry, dal, jackfruit curry and pol roti - haven't had rotis that good since Weligama.

Couldn’t agree more with their tagline: an explosion of flavours, spices and colours. This is exactly what you will experience in this tiny restaurant in the heat of Carnalby Street area. The food concept is sharing, so suggest you take 3-4 dishes to share: watch out with the spicy levels as they can easily go through the roof. 🌶️ We ordered all available meat dishes and it’s hard to tell my favourite: mutton, chicken , lamb. All accompanied by the tender-crispy hoppers. Absolute must-try if you like spicy explosive food! 🌶️ 💣

I ordered the kingfish and the roasted beef feast via the home delivery as a gift to my sister to celebrate a special occasion. The website was straightforward regarding delivery instructions. It was delivered on time as promised. It was kept as a surprise to my sister. She was so thrilled to receive the delivery. The family enjoyed a fabulous dinner with plenty to eat. My 15 year old niece proudly told me she prepared the rice. This was her first experience with Sri Lankan cousin and certainly a great one. Now I can't wait to try it myself and look forward to stop by next time we visit London.

I celebrated a milestone birthday with a party of 20 people for lunch. The food was amazing and the mutton poriyal, black pepper prawn fry and Aunty Mo's chatty roast are must tries! The service from Emilis and his team was fabulous, and hats off to the interior decor in the basement! A definite revisit is on the cards! Well done Kolomba.

The chicken curry, mutton and pol sambal were amazing. I didn't know which wine to choose and the man at the bar was great. He let me sample three wines to make sure I got the one I liked. Service great too. Prices are quite high but the food is incredible.

We needed somewhere to eat during a family meet up in London. They, like me are foodies however I’m the one with the gluten issue so I ran ahead to check out the menu so I don’t “say let go here” and then find out I can’t eat. Staff are friendly and welcoming; the manager explained I could have everything (bar 3 items) and this was so refreshing to hear. Nice work Lights went down, candles lit our mood was set I ordered the Ceylon Chicken curry and it was perfectly marinated, cooked well and with lots of sauce. For compliments I ordered rice and popadoms with mango chutney - they should sell the chutney in jars at the restaurant it’s lush. Others ordered Vaire’s Jaggery Beef, Cashew & Pea and Red King Fish Curry. Which scored high. Over all a every enjoyable meal at a quaint little restaurant. It’s 10/10 from me.

Really great find whilst walking through Carnaby Street and that area. Thought we'd go next door to an Indian chain restaurant, but Kolamba looked so inviting that we quickly grabbed a seat. Fabulous food, warm and spicy, packed with flavour. Highly recommend the Vaira's beef, Jaffna mutton and Pol Sambol.

A really interesting menu. The food was lovely. Would definitely go back. Service was excellent. And they have outside seating when it’s warm enough. The whole package!

My first experience of Sri Lankan food and it was a treat. There are similarities with Indian of course, but also differences that made it unique. Amongst the large number of dishes we tried particular standouts were a spiced mutton croquette, spicy aubergine and slow cooked beef curry, the latter full of earthy spices and sugary sweetness. Lovely sambols, coconut or tomato, accompany the larger dishes. Bottles of cold Lion lager kept the spice heat in check. The interior is simple, with A/C, a blessing on a very hot night. Service was friendly and kept the food coming at a sensible pace. Considering the dead central London location, it’s also good value.

Unfortunately, this restaurant is closed. We tried to visit this restaurant during our holidays in London (September 10th) and the local seemed to be closed from several months before.

A tiny restaurant and not much room if waiting for a takeaway previously ordered, although we were kindly offered cold water while we waited. All food was delicious but can recommend the Crispy Aromatic Duck, and King Prawns with Ginger & Spring Onion.
