Great place for authentic Indian cuisine. They offer quite a number of varieties in their menu, all are well prepared with real Indian flavor. Atmosphere is calm with soothing classic melodies being played in the background. Staff is friendly, attentive and provides an efficient service. Prices seems reasonable. Highly recommended.

The taste is very good, the prices are decent but the staff is not that good.• The taste of this restaurant is pretty well Indian and is spicy.• The cleanliness is well maintained and the ambience is very good too.• The staff is good but they force you to take big price and big quantity dishes for a single person.They literally force you to take those which is not at all good.• They added two extra Coke in our bill when we had taken only one: they added 3 in total.• The egg biryani and the Chicken Soup are awesome in taste.• ForTaste: 5/5Ambience: 4/5Staff: 3/5Price: 4/5Overall: 4/5• Overall a very good experience.

A restaurant which caters to the vegetarian and non vegetarians. The prices are on the higher side. The service is really good. Their special Jaffna crab curry is very spicy and tasty. There is limited amount of parking available for 6 medium seized vehicles. They play smoothing background music which provides a nice touch. This place has a calm ambiance. Definitely pay a visit to this restaurant, I would recommend the restaurant for special occasions with family and friends.

One of colombo places for to try out authentic indian cuisine! They have a huge menu with a vast range of dishes! If u can’t decide on what will suit u then staff will happily assist you!Prices are on bit high side but the portion size will balance out that!When it come to dishes the taste is really authentic and and you can definitely feel the indian vibe in every bite!Service is fast and not much crowded! Ideal lunch spot!

This is the worst Indian restaurant I ever experienced in my life and food is overpriced and taste and the satisfactory level is awful. I never recommend this place to anyone. The customer service is so poor and they are not friendly. I ordered a mutton biriyani and I hardly found mutton there. They even charged for the water bottles which we did’t use. If you want to try worst Indian foods go to Amaravathi.

Regret going here. Went for a dinner on 17/09/2020. Walked in at around 8.30pm. Was told will be closing at 09.30pm. (not a pleasant welcome ). If you cannot serve people an hour before your closing time - just dont take anyone in.Ordered some food. The food was way too salty and i could see the they were serving in a rush. Asked for a hot beverage after the meal, but they said its not available. Felt like they just wanted us out of there as it was closer to closing time.Staff were extremely rude. even before i finish my meal, they were asking me about the bill. Clearly wanted to chase us away.Food was not the greatest, the least you could do is offer good customer service which you terrible failed at as well. Management - time for some training for your staff.During this COVID time all the business are already struggling. Just dont make it worse for yourselves with turning away your customers.If you are looking for a good family time - Just ignore this please as there a plenty of others you could try.

One of the best places for you to experience Authentic Indian food in Colombo. It gives the feeling as if we are really in India.Very tasty food. Cleanliness and environment is excellent. Friendly staff. Usually crowded with the Indian food lovers, however the staff manages to serve really fast, but fresh food and to maintain the calm environment.

Very disappointing. The bamboo biryani was a farce. Pieces of chicken Tikka mixed with a badly made biryani stuffed into a tube. Like warm food, badly made. The chicken Tikka has food colouring that stained the fingers. Avoidable.

Good place with lots of varieties of foods. I have gone there couple of times with my friends, and the feedback from everyone was very good.Better to make an appointment in case if they have lots of customers specially for lunch.They have a parking, but for very few number of vehicles. So, better not to use private vehicles if you are near by and have to use many of your vehicles.

Likes the restaurant. The interior . Was amazed to see photo of Shivaji Maharaj. I was craving for some spicy food and did ordered veg chettinad and it was worth. Will keep visiting Amaravathi whenever I am in colombo. Keep up the good show guys. Those who wants to try indian delicacies must visit here.

My hubby and I visited to this place for the first time. When I was opening the door, it felt like an ancient lifestyle. I just loved each and every moment as the karaoke music, the paintings, etc since this is a Tamil cultural restaurant.We had BBQ chicken biriyani, watermelon fresh juice & lime and soda juice. The taste was awesome. But we hurried to finish our lunch therefore we went there around 3pm and the restaurant closes at 3.30pm. I think the prices are little bit high. The ladies washroom basins aren’t cleaned properly. We have planned that we have to come again and taste the rest of the meals.

Very bad service. Every single request gave wrong service. And reluctant to provide service even with multiple staff. Further threaten to charge for sauce to avoid providing service.Not sure was it because Im Chinese I get bad service. Even my Indian friends found service not tolerable.Through entire time I did not raise voice or show dissatisfaction or unhappy, as want to be impartial to the restaurant.However the service level indeed need to seriously improve, not to make other customers suffer in future.Food quality is not comparable to price.

Review №43

If I can give zero starts for ratings I will give it to this place first the staff they are super weird not friendly at all and then the delivery was too slow for a moment I thought we can sleep there for the night as well .we had to sit near the washrooms and the A/C was right next to us it felt like we were in Arctic . Food prices were like they are made in heaven and then imported there but when they arrived portion was too small and not tasty at all. For sure it is not worth the price at all. Finally they managed to charge us for the water bottles which was on the table that we never used I conclude this review by saying this was the worst dining experience of my life.

The restaurant is well placed. Easy to locate. Food was good. Mutton Dosa was good. Could be great though. Staff could be more courteous and prompt in service. Plate of idly was served in 20 minutes which is usually not the time it would require. The meals the we had as a take away was good and worth it.

Well maintained neat and quiet place where you shall spend great time with your family. Food is good, served hot hot, but the disadvantage here is that when you order several different dishes, say chicken, Mutton, fish, etc.. all the dishes the greavy taste that same, making the meals not boarong.Staff here are very attentive and helpful, but rushing a bit closer to closing time 11 pm

Amaravati is a restaurant situated in a lane off the main road, thus lending a quiet ambience to a cozy atmosphere. It is ideal for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and want to enjoy a meal in quietude. The service is good and their mutton biryani with roast chicken can be recommended without hesitation.
