+Lovely place in the city center , +near the big mall. +Good facilities. + And in general, I would say one of the best places to stay in Colombo. - Long wait for food to be prepared when you order * the real sparkle of the place is Aqeel who is working in the main reception bar area. I’ve never seen such happy smiling & helpful people. He really made our stay very special. I believe that the people who work at a hotel create the energy and atmosphere. these people who make us want to come back because they make us feel at home.

We ordered the Chicken Biriyani Sawan and it was awesome.It looked great and the taste was also very good. It had a nice authentic Indian biriyani flavor.We ordered the 6 pax family Sawan and the portion was actually more than enough for six people. So, it was really worth for money. All the curries and the dessert were also very tasty. We were really happy to have a meal from this place. The staff were very friendly, and Nethma Perera helped us with the order and made sure everything was ready on time for collection.

I visited Cinnamon Lake last Thursday for the lunch buffet, and it was a wonderful experience. There were so many varieties of food, including Sri Lankan, Indian, and Chinese dishes. Everything was very delicious, and the service was also excellent. They even had a special offer that day, which made the experience even better. Overall, I am very satisfied with this restaurant. Just a small kind request — it would be even better if the table arrangements could be improved slightly for more comfort. Thank you for the great hospitality!
