The place has the prime location at the entrance of the Independence Arcade behind the light fountains and truly deserves it. The fusion branding of Chef Dharshan Munidasa and Actress Jacqueline Fernandez echoes the fusion brand of delicious Sri Lankan dishes on the menu. A lot of value is placed on authenticity and presentation at the restaurant, where the concept of open kitchen is well implemented, as in, it's nice to be able to hear the kitchen working hard to prepare your food - The spices and chili are ground in front of you in the middle of the restaurant and the music combines with the antique furnishing and mood lighting of the place to create a soothing environment to eat.

The Governor's Restaurant is somewhat similar to the Long Bar at Raffles Singapore. The a la carte menu choice has been enhanced by the new Slow Food and Molecular Food options. The Governor's Restaurant offers one of the best views of the beach anywhere in Colombo. The best part is that you can sit either inside the restaurant, poolside, or on the terrace overlooking the ocean. Honestly you can't go wrong with any of the options but on a not-so-warm day the terrace is the best option.

This restaurant is owned by one of Sri Lanka's leading catering companies, Tasty Caterers. It serves short eats patisserie-style, and also serves pasta, Mongolian barbecue, Sri Lankan favorites, lunch packets and a very limited a la carte menu. This place is actually quite decent and the food is certainly delicious. The ambiance of the place was very chilled out and relaxing. This is a really nice restaurant situated in the heart of busy & noisy Colombo, yet somehow manages to provide a very calm peaceful outdoor experience. It is even more beautiful at night with the unique lighting provided by the lanterns hanging over the tables making your dinner experience all the more memorable one. They are well known for prompt service and pocket friendly.

The restaurant offers specialty Sri Lankan cuisines in a passable buffet every evening. Restaurants decor is bright and red, but very nice and calm place to have Sri Lankan food. This restaurant serves both lunch and dinner buffet at the most affordable price. Very attractive ambience and light music plays all the time. If you are seeking a calm place with some privacy this is worth going.
