Peppers by The Red Pineapple — Local services in Colombo

I saw this place while walking down the road with a friend of mine after we had dinner but the place looked really nice so I wanted to just walk in and see what it had to offer. The moment I entered, I was greeted with an amazing fragrance of lemongrass and spices wafting through the air and a quaint low-key restaurant with ambient lighting and simple seating.

Since we had already had something to eat, we just ordered some chicken satay with peanut sauce and some steamed prawn dumplings with chilie oil and can I tell you, it was some of the best appetisers I've ever had! The chicken was marinated and grilled to perfection while retaining its juiciness and the peanut sauce was homemade and to die for!

The dumplings were alright, but the chilie oil elevated them to a whole new level and brought with it such an amazing depth of flavour! I loved everything we had there and I'll be going back very soon to try the rest...

The Red Pineapple by Torana is a fantastic little Thai street food restaurant adjoining the famous Torana movies & music outlets on Galle Road. The indoor area seats 4 groups of up to 4 people each, and is air conditioned. The street seating for 3 groups of up to 6 people each, starts after 6 pm and is cordoned off using portable fences. It feels like a private sitting area right next to the street.

I’m advising you now, don’t even bother walking through the front door of this restaurant or even picking up the phone to place an order.

As someone that used to eat there regularly, their quality and customer service has dropped immensely. Their food is overly salted and oily, portion sizing is absurdly small for the high prices they charge, and the cherry on top is their customer service is horrible.

Tried calling BEFORE placing an order through UberEats to confirm if they can accept it, they declined my calls 4 times over an hour. Hence why I continued to place my order, 20 minutes after accepting it they cancelled my order.

By far the least impressive & worst Thai restaurant I’ve come across in Sri Lanka. I urge you not to even go there. Unless you’re interested in overly salty food and oily food that could potentially give you...
