Im a university student & running a small english tutuion these days 🤫 : I told my students to watch your content as listening , to enhance their language 🤗💯 Your content is amaizing Shen ! ✔️💯
I am so inspired to return to my place of birth and sample some of these amazing new dining experiences. I left Sri Lanka (Ceylon) for the UK, back in 1965 and have never been back! God willing I would like to return in 2025 (that's 60 years having been away). I will arm myself with more of your amazing presentations and be well prepared. Thanks for the winsome way in which you make Sri Lanka so good Shen!
Hey Shenelle. When you do any reviews can you please highlight areas that are wheelchair accessible because I have a son in a wheelchair and would love to visit Sri Lanka with him to enjoy the country, the people, the culture, the food- but it is really difficult to know what is wheelchair accessible. I know lots of people around the world who are wheelchair users and would love to come to Sri Lanka, but are nervous because there is not alot of information available about accessiblity.
Hi Sheneller and Shehan Thanks for bringing this up. It is really useful and informative not only to foreigners but also to local who has been away from Sri Lanka for years. Thanks again.
As an expat Sri Lankan vlogger I found your channel recently and was impressed and excited to see your vlogs... this one especially as I LOVE to go out to eat... Thank you and keep it up!
You have touched on most place that we as tourists will have time for and since we will in colombo for 3 days o have begun to take notes and chose what we would like to try and visit. Thank you for making this easy or else we would have fallen short and missed all of this interesting place. Thank you Tony from Goa We are there from the 5th of March
So informative, so well-filmed, so helpful. Thank you so much, Shanelle [sp?]. You are a beautiful person -- love your energy, integrity, kindness. I'm moving to Colombo in April, never been, and this kind of information is priceless.
I just subscribed to your channel, having seen this and the street food video. Live in Britain but SL has been a dream destination for me for a long time. Such a beautiful country with a rich and vibrant culture. Your videos are so detailed and insightful! Commons looks like the kind of place I'd hang out at 😁
Here in SL for a week on vacation from Bangladesh. Spending 6 days in Colombo (and one in Weligama). Already covered six of these cafes in the last three. Will cover the the other 2 (T-lounge and Kiku) in the rest of my trip. Amazing, chill places!
hi from uk.. yeah thanks so much for putting these lovely places in one stop viewing kind of... I will defo visit some of these places you mentioned.. most of the really nice places seem to be in Colombo 7 ... and no wonder.. but im going to check it out this time ... will also be looking out for your videos .. thanks a ton.!!
3 things 1> that Intro is a Authentic Colombo - the sound of the breadman in tuktuk in the morning is "Colombo " (loved it when i stayed there) 2>She is right guys the Leyland buses rock !! but also its Uber-1 Pickme-2 😁🤘 3>You guys Shen & Shehan need to Check out Cafe113 (behind the Gangaramaya temple) thats a good one too ! PS : make a few videos on cafe's like em Plz
Top content and thanks. Got a house there and I never knew any of these locations. I will visit a few of these in couple months. Subbed. So appreciated. Thank you. Go on, do more videos. 🙂
Great video and picks! I agree with all the choices except 'The Commons.' Personally, I'd replace it with Grind Colombo, Butter Boutique, Kaffi, or Life's Good Kitchen. Any of these would be a better fit. Awesome work on the video, keep it up!
Amazing video and looking forward to trying some of these places. It would be great to see what options Colombo has for gluten free and dairy free food if possible please.
You are very good, we came across you doing a review on the heritance resort where we will be staying in April. You have help us so much in demystifying what we can expect on our holiday, thankyou we are looking forward to sri lanka
Hi there, loved watching this , great reviews! Will check out few of these places on my next visit to Srilanka. You are doing a fabulous job promoting every Srilanka has to offer! Thank you!!🤗
As a traveller from India I would have liked if you had said some more about the prices. A tip on which dish is spicy and which is not would be helpful. On the whole I enjoyed your video and the top ten places to eat.
This is great. Well done and got a good idea about the options available. So many places we did not know about. Can you also do something like this for Mount Lavinia area. There are several good places and the beach we should introduce. Thanks for helping to educate the world!
Such a great duo 🥳 great video. It feels like we went with y’all. Keep it up, guys. Sri Lankan needs this type of awareness. Your presentation is really in the first place akki & great cinematic video contribution from Aiya. Good luck. I really enjoyed this a lot ❤️🫡
Another cool video. I really like these kind of videos,even the previous one Street food in Colombo. Found this channel through Jonny F.D.channel. He is not in Sri Lanka anymore so please give some videos with same kind of vibe .
Good review and a good idea. However please give a chance to small businesses NOT owned by rich people and by politicians. Of course while ensuring they pass the quality check for food , service etc
Very interesting vlog for sure. You explain everything so well. Your vocabulary is amazing! Would love to meet you one day in person! Keep on shining ❤
Something different for a change from the normal stereotyped videos about eateries in Colombo. The clip is very exciting and informative. I will definitely visit one of them when in Colombo. Thank you.
Hi Shenelle pls do a more comprehensive café tour including the other good ones as well. also an idea for you do a suburb café tour as im sure they have some good ones that we have not been aware of but most of the the suburban youngsters would be able to recommend
We from Thailand we will go to visit Columbo on 15 -19 march Thanks so much for recommending but we don’t know how to go may be car rent can for our group 🩷
The new train service began on the 1st February 2024 to Trincomalee. Maybe you can check it out and recommend some places to stay and attractions to visit.
Hi Shennell , I am from Andhra Pradesh , India. I planned to spend one week vacation from 22 May to 29th May. I have reservation to stay at Club Mahindra resort, Mount Lavinia, colombo. I request you to give an itinerary to spend the best time during this one week period. This is my first trip to Sri Lanka.
How about The Gallery Café - unique in its Goeffrey Bawa former office amazing settings The Cricket Club - home to one of the pioneer in Sri Lankan coffee Ruby Harvest and to the best Pavlova in Sri Lanka so far...

Sri Lanka is mostly commonly known for its many kinds of teas, but coffee is so unusual in Sri Lanka.
Another cool video. I really like these kind of videos,even the previous one Street food in Colombo. Found this channel through Jonny F.D.channel. He is not in Sri Lanka anymore so please give some videos with same kind of vibe .
Good review and a good idea. However please give a chance to small businesses NOT owned by rich people and by politicians. Of course while ensuring they pass the quality check for food , service etc

It's very interesting.
It would have been appreciated if you displayed the price as well.

Commons brings back SO many memories tbh. Every week. Atleast twice a week. The crab burger and their coffee. 😢
Hi Shennell , I am from Andhra Pradesh , India. I planned to spend one week vacation from 22 May to 29th May. I have reservation to stay at Club Mahindra resort, Mount Lavinia, colombo.
I request you to give an itinerary to spend the best time during this one week period.

Barefoot and Seed are my go-to places xD
How about
The Gallery Café - unique in its Goeffrey Bawa former office amazing settings
The Cricket Club - home to one of the pioneer in Sri Lankan coffee Ruby Harvest and to the best Pavlova in Sri Lanka so far...
Good one.share videos on hotels and resorts @columo
I have applied for ETA to visit Sri Lanka, hope to visit this beautiful country soon. Can I find a guide to visit many places in short time
