‘Maqara’: A taste of Sri Lanka in the heart of Colombo
View(s):Just steps away from the bustling commercial hub of the World Trade Centre Colombo in the historic district of Colombo Fort, ‘Maqara Sri Lankan Restaurant’ has quietly emerged as a favourite culinary stop for both locals and international travellers seeking an authentic taste of Sri Lanka.
Strategically located in the heart of the city, the restaurant has quickly gained popularity among tourists exploring Colombo as well as office-goers working in the surrounding commercial towers. With its relaxed ambience, attentive service and generous portions, Maqara offers visitors a welcoming introduction to Sri Lanka’s rich and diverse food culture.
Breakfast at Maqara is a particularly appealing experience for early morning diners. The restaurant serves a range of traditional Sri Lankan breakfast favourites alongside Western options, catering to a wide spectrum of tastes. Freshly brewed coffee adds to the appeal, making it a convenient meeting spot for business professionals while also offering travellers a comfortable place to start their day before exploring the capital.
However, it is the restaurant’s lunch spread that has earned a loyal following. Guests are treated to a classic Sri Lankan rice and curry meal featuring more than ten varieties of authentic vegetable curries. The wide selection allows diners to customise their plates according to personal preference, creating a colourful and flavourful culinary journey through the island’s traditional cuisine. Rich spices, freshly prepared dishes and homely recipes have made the lunch service one of the most talked-about features of the restaurant.
As evening falls, Maqara expands its offerings with an extensive dinner menu that combines Sri Lankan favourites with popular Chinese dishes, appealing to families, travellers and professionals seeking a relaxed dinner after a busy day in the city.
A subsidiary of the well-known Chinese Dragon Cafe Group, ‘Maqara’ reflects the group’s experience in hospitality while maintaining a distinctive identity rooted in authentic Sri Lankan flavours.
