Step into the vibrant world of Hotal Colombo, a haven that brings the spirit of Colombo's bustling streets right to your table. The bright and cheery decor mirrors the casual eateries scattered throughout the capital city of Sri Lanka, promising a dining experience that's not just about the food but a cultural immersion.
Our culinary adventure began with the tantalizing Chili Potato Fry. Crispy potatoes danced in a house-made sauce, harmonizing with the kick of chillies. It was the perfect overture to what lay ahead.
The Chilli Chicken Fry followed suit, a spicy ensemble of chicken, house-made sauce, chillies, onions, ginger, and bell peppers. Each bite was a journey through a palette of flavors, showcasing the artistry behind Sri Lankan cuisine
And then, a star emerged – the Crab Kothu. A typical Sri Lankan dish, it brought together crab, stir-fried vegetables, kari, scrambled eggs, and chopped roti. It was a savory and appetizing symphony that left an indelible mark on our taste buds

To cleanse the palate, we indulged in the iconic Masala Dosa with Sambhar. The crepe-like pancake, folded and stuffed with spicy potato filling, was a culinary embrace that transported us to the heart of South India

The journey continued with the Market Fish Kari & Paratha. Surprisingly light and not overly spicy, the kari danced in harmony with the buttery, flaky, and soft paratha, creating a melody of flavors that delighted our senses

There comes the Chilli Tamarino Crab Galore - the signature of Hotal Colombo. Fresh tamarind and Malaga chillies lent a tangy and spicy character to the dish. While hailed as the signature, the sauce, although tasty, slightly overshadowed the natural freshness of the crab. A minor quibble in an otherwise symphony of flavors 🦀

We finished our meal with the Egg Hopper, which added a unique touch to the feast. These bowl-shaped pancakes made from fermented rice and coconut milk were the perfect canvas for the array of flavors that Hotal Colombo expertly curated
As I reflect on the culinary journey at Hotal Colombo, it's more than a dining experience; it's a cultural immersion. The vibrant decor, the eclectic menu, and the soulful flavors take you on a journey to the heart of Sri Lanka. The dishes are crafted with care, inviting you to explore the rich tapestry of Sri Lankan cuisine
