Settled into the heart of Soho, Kolamba is the kind of place you come to before a show and end up talking about after. Low lighting, warm spice, good cocktails. It's the start of the evening, done right.
Skip the set menu. At Kolamba, the à la carte is the experience.
Sri Lankan food is built for this. Dishes land across the table as they're ready: hot butter cuttlefish to start, a Ceylon chicken curry or red monkfish at the centre, a bowl of dhal, some pol sambol, and rice to pull it all together. It's a meal designed to be shared, which means it moves at the speed of conversation.
