The sweet rotis are great. Sautéed apple , grilled pineapple with Maple syrup , the brownie with chocolate sauce as well . Their spin on kottu roti with crepes is also quite good! Try the chicken cheese .

I liked the seeni sambol toasty ! Comfortable inside with AC . Outside seating area . Beware that prices do not include tax or the tip. That’s add on so the bill is higher than you think!

Stays open long after the others have closed. Can get a bit crowded and noisy but, still a charming little place with good food and good coffee !

Experience their spin on the French Crêpe using Kottu Rotti . Our favorite is the Deviled Crab Meat , a single rotti costs about LKR 300. Read more
