The food are excellent. Just the price a little bit over , also need to pay 10% service charge up to the bill . Tea is aroma .Room are very deep clean , I felt comfortable when I have been staying there. Overall everything is good . Highly recommended. One problem is surrounding is quite . But that is not a problem , visit anywhere by Tuk Tuk only 300-350 rs

Cafe Kumbuk is a lovely cafeteria in the heart of Colombo. It was our first morning in Colombo and we chose this place to grab Brunch. The staff is pretty welcoming. Coffee was superb and came with a small coconut treat. Food was nice, well presented but some dishes lack flavours. Burger was 10/10 though. Prices are a bit on the higher side. The indoor seating was full so we sat outdoors, they have a small fish pond there.

Had to give it a 3 star because the Ambience wasn't the best.
Indoor space is very small and cramped up. If you are expecting a cozy chill place this wouldn't be the best. Gets extremely loud if your fellow diners start to chat aloud. The outdoor space is good and spacious. Too much tables and chairs crammed into a tiny space inside. Parking well is adequate but it's in a residential lane so there's that.

Now to the Good stuff.
The staff are really nice and well mannered. Kudos on the PR effort.

The food was on point bang for the buck
Well presented and was tasty. Proportions were adequate as well.
The service was great as well promptly served meals.
Food , staff, and service really good.
Ambience not the best.

Would I return, for sure yes to check out the rest of the menu.

Cafe Kumbuk is such a gem!
We stayed in Srilax above the cafe and we enjoyed the cafe for many meals as well.
They have delicious food coming in satisfying portions; very helpful and positive staff, we especially appreciate Kavi for being such a sweetheart.
We want to come back another time so we can try more foods from the menu πŸ™ŒπŸ˜Š
I couldn't take photos of all that we ate because the moment the food arrived to the table, the kids were attacking them, for the good 😁

Had a really great experience here. The environment was super comfortable and the aesthetic was very soothing. Mr. Haritha was incredibly welcoming from the moment we arrived until we left. The food was absolutely amazing, and the mac and cheese was soo freaking good. Highly recommend this place!
