Yes - one of Asia's 50 Best Restaurants for good reason. Signature dishes: Kilo Crab (garlic chili, curry, or pepper), Prawn Curry, Chilli Crab. Real Sri Lankan lagoon crabs, largest and freshest. Not cheap: budget USD 60-120 per person with drinks. Book 2-4 weeks ahead. Vibe: warehouse-chic in historic Dutch Hospital Precinct in Fort. Arrive hungry - portions large. Communal tables mean chatting with strangers.

Order the crab you can share (Kilo XL for 2-3) rather than individual mains. Sides: butter rice, garlic naan, coriander crab. Skip dessert here - go around the corner to Colombo Coffee Company for the finale.
