Colombo Galle Face Green street food vendor safety

The food vendors at Galle Face are generally very safe because the turnover is incredibly high. Thousands of locals eat there every evening. The "Isso Wade" (deep-fried prawn lentil fritters) and Kottu Roti are cooked at very high heat right in front of you, which kills bacteria. Just avoid drinking tap water or buying fruit that has been sitting on ice.
