Where can I find the absolute best kottu in Colombo?
2 Answers from travellers
Hotel de Pilawoos on Galle Road is globally famous for its incredibly rich heavily spiced cheese kottu. It is the ultimate legendary late night local dining experience after a long day of exploring.
You must absolutely try the signature dolphin kottu at Plaza Hotel in Wellawatte. It is deeply flavorful perfectly spiced and features massively generous portions that will easily feed two people.
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.
