The absolute undisputed king of quick highly portable Colombo street food is the Isso Vadai. You will easily spot massive glass carts piled high with these brilliant deep orange heavily spiced lentil fritters topped perfectly with whole fried crispy prawns.
Another brilliant quick option is the classic Sri Lankan vegetable roti. It is a highly satisfying heavily spiced mixed vegetable curry filling perfectly folded inside a completely soft flatbread and rapidly grilled on a hot plate.
They are incredibly deeply savory perfectly crunchy and immensely cheap. The vendors frequently serve them completely smothered in a highly fiery green chili sauce so ask for it plain if you cannot handle intense heat.
