" My experience was a bit hit-or-miss. While the authentic flavors of kottu were amazing, the service felt disorganized at times. The ambiance was inviting, but cleanliness was an issue during my visit. I hope they work on these areas as the food itself was quite remarkable. " (*Curated Review*)

" A lovely gem in the heart of the city! The ambiance is captivating, and the food is a true representation of Sri Lankan cuisine. I ordered the egg kottu, which was incredibly flavorful. The portion was generous too, making it worth every penny! Super friendly staff to top it off! " (*Curated Review*)

" Finally visited Cafe Kottu on my friend's recommendation! The chicken kottu didn't disappoint; it was full of authentic flavors. The wait staff were friendly, but there were a few mix-ups with our orders, which took longer than expected to resolve. I'd still recommend this spot for the food! " (*Curated Review*)

" On a recent visit, I was impressed with the range of options available. The Chicken Kottu stood out, but I found the portion sizes a bit smaller than expected for the price. Overall, the food was delicious, but the atmosphere felt a bit cluttered. I would return for the food if they improved the decor a bit. " (*Curated Review*)

" The waiting staff was friendly, but the experience was marred due to some menu items being unavailable during my visit. The Fried Rice offered was flavorful, but the portion size felt lacking. I did appreciate the ambiance, however, with its cozy feel and delightful decorations. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried Café Kottu after craving some Sri Lankan food for quite a while. The flavor profile matched my expectations, but I was let down by the service speed. It did take a little longer than preferred, but I would go back for the food alone. The staff was warm and welcoming. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my meal! The kottu was superbly spiced and satisfying, and the portions were more than enough for the price. The staff made the experience memorable with their lively spirits. Will certainly recommend this place to everyone! " (*Curated Review*)
