“ I had a really good meal at Nelum Kole in Maharagama. The food tasted fresh and properly home-style, and the flavours were just right. The place has a simple, warm vibe and it felt nice to sit and eat there. Service was friendly and overall it was a solid, satisfying experience. I’d happily go back. ”

“ Always wanted to try a place like this. Had a good experience. There is an amazing variety of rice and curries to select from. If you are not full with the rice portion they provide, you can always ask for some more for free. There is an ample parking space next to the restaurant as well, which makes it very convenient. When we arrived, there was a band playing live music in one corner. The only downside was that the place was not air conditioned, there were only fans available. ”
