Monsoon Colombo

Monsoon Colombo is an absolute standout when it comes to dining in the city. From the moment we walked in, we were struck by the stylish and welcoming atmosphere—modern yet warm, with thoughtful décor that sets the perfect mood for a relaxed yet elevated dining experience. The food was exceptional. Every dish we tried was packed with flavor, beautifully presented, and cooked to perfection. The menu offers a wonderful mix of Southeast Asian influences, and it’s clear that a lot of care goes into the selection of ingredients and balance of flavors. Whether you’re a fan of bold spices or more subtle, fragrant dishes, there’s something for everyone. We particularly loved how fresh everything tasted. Equally impressive was the service. The staff were attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. They offered helpful recommendations and made sure our experience was seamless from start to finish. It’s rare to find that perfect combination of great food and top-notch service, but Monsoon nails it effortlessly. Whether you’re a local or just passing through Colombo, Monsoon is a must-visit for anyone looking for a memorable meal in a vibrant, comfortable setting. We’ll definitely be coming back for more!

At first glance, from the outside it doesn’t look like there’s much here – just a narrow lane with some tables. But once you step inside, it’s actually quite nice. The interior has a cozy vibe with exposed brick walls, stylish seating, and a modern setup. It feels casual but also a bit trendy. The food looks good – classic Asian comfort dishes. Presentation is neat, and portions seem filling. it’s just okay — nothing really special or memorable. Not bad, but not something I’d go out of my way for. The service team was very poor, and I’m not happy with the experience Overall, it’s one of those spots where you don’t expect much from the outside, but inside it’s surprisingly pleasant and worth a try.

The food was all delicious but the portions were on the smaller side. I didnt like how the staff kept pushing us to order more drinks it felt a bit too forceful. Also, they kept checking and trying to clear the half finished bottles which disrupted the atmosphere. Other than that everything was fine.

Attentive and polite staff. Great selection of cocktails 🍸 Food was plentiful and extremely delicious. We sat and ate outside but inside looked great and spacious, clean.

🌟 An unforgettable dining experience at Monsoon – Park Street 🌟 From the moment I stepped into Monsoon, I felt like I’d been transported into a world of serenity. The calm, soothing ambience instantly stole my heart, and every little detail—from the décor to the music—seemed designed to make you slow down, relax, and simply enjoy the moment. The food was a beautiful fusion of Thai, Singaporean, and Malaysian flavours—each dish bursting with taste, beautifully presented, served in generous portions, and prepared with such care that you can feel the chef’s passion in every bite. Chef Thushara is truly an artist in the kitchen. What really makes Monsoon stand out is the hospitality. Manager Chris and the entire Monsoon team treat you like royalty—warm smiles, genuine care, and the kind of service that makes you feel at home while still feeling pampered. The soft, calming music in the background adds another layer to the experience, creating the perfect atmosphere for mingling with friends or sharing a quiet, meaningful meal with loved ones. If you want a dining experience that’s more than just food—something that touches all your senses—Monsoon is the place. I can say with all my heart, this is a 100% recommendation. Once you visit, you’ll fall in love, just like I did. ♥️

We stumbled across this gem whist in the area. Such a cool location down a quiet alley in a building that was a former warehouse. The food was delicious, like really delicious. Definitely worth a visit.

Good and bad things. Char Kway Teow is very good but their Nasi lemak not so much. The latter has beef rendang but it is just beef with no rendang. Their crispy anchovies was hard to eat. Their cocktail was excellent but pricey at $10 plus. Their sorbet (lime and lemon grass) had the right flavors but it was largely frozen, defeating the purpose of a sorbet. Great ambiance.

The pineapple chili margarita is one of the best I’ve tried 😍 However, the portion sizes of the “sharing plates” were incredibly tiny. Portion sizes could definitely be improved considering the higher price point. Overall, it was a good experience.
