What is the absolute best street food at Galle Face Green.
1 Answer from travellers
You absolutely unequivocally heavily must try the legendary intensely deeply iconic Isso Vadai. These are incredibly magnificent bright orange wildly heavily spiced small savory lentil patties that are dramatically uniquely topped perfectly with fully whole crispy fresh prawns completely unpeeled. The vendor expertly deep fries them right in front of you in a massive blazing hot wok plunging them into screaming hot oil until they are spectacularly crispy on the outside but perfectly warm and softly chewy inside. They are incredibly highly savory deeply intensely delicious and represent the absolute true beating culinary heart of the Colombo evening street food scene.
Scam Watch: colombo
Driver claims the meter is broken and quotes an inflated flat rate. Common on arrival at airport or railway stations when tourists are tired and disoriented.
Drivers wearing official-looking uniforms claim to be "government-approved" and charge 3-5x normal rates. They may have fake badges or ID cards.
Women with babies approach asking you to buy milk powder at a nearby shop (not cash). The shop is run by accomplices and charges 5-10x normal price.
