Upali's by Nawaloka
Upali's by Nawaloka serves traditional Sri Lankan dishes with clearly marked vegan options and a mix of vegetarian and meat dishes. The menu can be confusing for newcomers, but the attentive staff often recommend vegan-friendly set menus featuring items like string hoppers and dhal. The venue has smart, comfortable seating near Colombo's main park and an open kitchen where diners can see their food prepared, though some reviews note variable service and occasional concerns about the restroom condition.
