Shanmugas

Unclaimed

Looking for a place to enjoy authentic South Indian vegetarian food? Served hot and fresh, it’s sumptuous and full of flavor. Definitely worth trying, even with the many options available around Wellawatta and Bambalapitiya.

We had dinner at Shanmugas yesterday and it was brilliant. I've been here a few times over the last 20 years and I love that the original flavours and the feel is still preserved. I went for Poori Masala, Butter Naan and Gobi Manchurian while my better half went for idly. The food was excellent and so does the service. The vegetarian menu has a good balance of south and north Indian cuisine which are all offered at reasonable pricing. Highly recommended for a good vegetarian meal in Colombo.

Ordered Ulundu Vadai and Idly off UberEats. Packed really well in individual containers. Moderately expensive compared to other Indian Restaurants. However, the food is fresh, high quality and tasty. So the added expense is more than justified. Highly recommend this place as an Indian restaurant.

Updated with my latest visit- I had south Indian Thali - it was really great. Great all-vegetarian food complemented by good service. You get your order very fast compared to most places. The interior hasn’t changed much since I visited last-which 10 years ago. Cant say that I love it. Its quite clean but the menu can be expensive by local standards. 2 naans, 2 curries, 2 lassis and two desserts were over Rs. 6,000. Yet i would recommend it!

Went there for breakfast Ulundhu wade - was one of the best was crispy and soft tried with chutney and sambar Soup MRITHANIYA - was lil spicy but tasted good Chillie parotta - its a fried parotta, it was too good Paneer dosai - was good with lots of paneer stuffed
