I gave this place a second chance before reviewing, but over-all, i'm still quite disappointed.
The pricing is steep (550-1200 pp after 40% off anything.lk voucher). I don't mind over paying a bit, but the food was mediocre at best.
I went with friends both times, so we ordered around 8 different snacks (croque, crepes, wraps etc.) they were ALL bland and disappointing.
The deserts and milkshakes were hit and miss. Some were excellent (death by chocolate), while the "chocolate mess", as the name suggests, was a mess ! The milkshakes were decent.
One thing that was totally unforgivable, was the service. Given it's a new set-up, but taking 20 mins to serve a bottle of water is ridiculous. Our order itself took 40 mins (and it wasn't even crowded) ! We weren't an isolated case, everyone else around us were annoyed by the inefficiency of the staff, some even threatening to walk off.
That being said, the manager Indika and company, were pretty courteous and did accept their shortcomings, sometimes offering a complimentary drink (another 20 mins).
I was really looking forward to this place, especially since i loved their outlets in India, unfortunately, i doubt i'll be re-visiting it anytime soon.

My experience couldn’t have gone any worse… We started out with drinks; I ordered the Pinky Lemonade and Shaz got the Ferrero Rocher Shake. After about 15 minutes, I got a yellow drink. Confused, I asked my server if my ‘pinky’ lemonade was supposed to be yellow. Maybe it’s just me, but I prefer my pink lemonade, well, pink. No, it wasn’t supposed tone yellow – instead he had made me a Piny Cooler - some concoction involving pineapples. I’m not a picky person, so I said it was ok, sucked it up and drank my pineapple drink. Honestly it tasted like pineapple cordial, which one can buy at any grocery store. Nothing special at all. Shaz’s shake was WAYYY to thick. If you can pick up your milkshake, turn over the glass, and not have anything spill, it is NOT A MILKSHAKE. It was a frothy excuse for a shake that was so thick, you could choke drinking it.
We couldn’t be bothered with the drinks and went on to the main course – Shaz got the Oven Roasted Chicken Sandwich and I went with the Nachos Grande. I’m a sucker for nachos, and the only nachos that come close to yum in Sri Lanka are the loaded nachos on the menu of Café Che, but I thought ‘what the hell, let’s give them a chance’. Big mistake.
Here I was, expecting “a large platter of tortilla chips covered with roasted chicken, hearty beans, warm cheese, and diced tomatoes, jalapenos, olives, pickled gherkins, and sour cream”. What I got was 15 tortilla chips with a spoon of beans and congealed cheese. Where was my roasted chicken? Where are my jalapenos, people?! Again, the waiter had gotten my order mixed up and put me down for the Nachos Supreme… which is the crap I just described. Never order it.
