The Coffee Shop - Galadari Hotel

Opted to go for a lunch on a Sunday! Options were limited and was more biased to Arabic meals which I didn’t enjoy! I assume these issues were because it was a Sunday!
Cannot say I’m satisfied with the food!
But the stads was really good and helpful, parking was not an issue at all!

The High tea buffet was quite nice and they had 50+ items. The cost was 2600pp and for this price, everything was phenomenal.
The iced coffee and even the hot coffee was really nice.
They had a wide range of sweet items and over 40 different savoury items.
The cafe itself was really nice and the staff were nice too.
Highly recommended.

👍High tea buffet at Galadari was great 👌 The main thing was the quantity and variety of items that was available, it was worth skipping lunch 😉

👍We were a group of about 12 and were in early before the opening at 3:30 (yes a hungry set of fellas) , we had a prior reservation and got the secluded seating area under the tent. When it was time, there was a huge queue of people serving, shows the popularity of the place

👍 The variety items from savouries, to sweets and meat variations, the vegetarian corner (the Pani puri was good 💯) were good and so were the quantities. I saw them refilling most of the dishes.

👎 If there are anything lacking it was the variety of drinks, just a few available. Especially the fruit drink options. Of course they had tea ☕ 😁

👎 The ambience was good, but the furniture was old and they could slightly improve on cleanliness, but I also heard in the news that Galadari is going for a full refurbishment, which is much needed.

Calm environment to dine in with friends and family. The Hugh tea buffet was definitely worth the price. It was LKR 7300/- odd for 2 and there were more than 40 varieties.
I loved the sandwich section. Overall I would give a 9/10 for the high tea spread.

Went to the dinner buffet on a Thursday. Buffet spread was reasonable for this price tag. There were Indian, Sri Lankan, Oriental varieties with a live meat and seafood station. The space inside this Coffee Shop area is somewhat small for a restaurant like this. Mains and desserts tasted very good.

First time at the Galadari. Wanted to try out the lunch buffet and see the offerings. Not disappointing but nothing that really wowed me.

The spread was decent. The one thing i loved was the choices of fresh pickles (umberalla, nelli, guava, etc). My experience with pickles in Toronto is limited to opening a bottle of MD brand. To taste the fresh pickled fruits was delightful and felt so very true to the spirit of sri lanka.

The second and third things i enjoyed were the string hopper biriyani and the seet and sout seafood (shrimps, calamari, dry fish (?)).

The rest of the food, to be honest, felt lackluster. Maybe best catered to a European crowd with very specific and selective taste buds.

The desserts too were fine. Just fine. Nothing exquisite, but nothing extraordinary either.

Had delicious Indian dishes and some good desserts for a reasonable price. Great calm atmosphere for a family dine in and wide range of foods are available. The staffs also very helpful and friendly services

Overall experience on food and beverage here is average. Their high tea is less expensive compared to other hotels in the area. They have a variety of items too . However the quality is average. So is the service. Their cakes are good in quality. Prices seem reasonable.
