Green Cabin – Cyril Rodrigo’s Green Cabin

Tasty food, but small portions. The staff took longer than expected to process the bill, so we had to wait more time after finishing our meal. But the place was comfortable to enjoy a meal with friends or family.

An Enchanting Culinary Gem: Cyril Rodrigo’s Green Cabin, Where Royalty Dines Cyril Rodrigo’s Green Cabin effortlessly weaves together the authenticity of Sri Lankan flavors and the allure of a speakeasy ambiance.

We went there after seeing an advert about Koththu promotion. The menu looked tempting. However, we found the koththu in both starter and main were rather dry. Roasted chicken in the main dish was tasty though. The service was quite slow.

This place has a nice atmosphere and if the Google map is followed it is not so difficult to find. The place is all very neat and well maintained. Food was good and the portion sizes were satisfactory. However they had a limited number of food items to try and also the menu was mainly of Sri Lankan cuisine so this would be an ideal place for foreigners to try Sri Lankan food for a reasonable price. Beverages were also good. They had masala chai which was served with condensed milk and it tasted really nice. The Mojitos were also good. The staff was friendly and we had a nice experience at this place. The only drawback was that the parking space was not adequate.

Great place to have authentic Sri Lankan food. We ordered rice and curry, a black pork curry, yellow rice with black pork curry and their special homemade ginger beer. Food was really tasty. The ginger beer and the black pork curry deserve a separate shoutout for sure. Portion size was also good. The place is clean, well-kept and spacious. The staff was really friendly and helpful. Overall a very good experience. Keep up the good work
