Epi-Q Express Gourmet — Restaurant in Colombo

During our recent visit, we sampled a variety of dishes and drinks, including the Chicken Arabiatta, Chicken Mince with Roti, fries, Strawberry Mojito, and Passion Fruit Mojito.

The Chicken Arabiatta was enjoyable, offering a good balance of flavors despite not being made with fresh pasta. Given the price, it was a satisfactory choice that delivered a decent meal.

However, the Chicken Mince with Roti was disappointing. The spices in the chicken mince seemed undercooked, leaving a raw taste that detracted from the overall dish. Additionally, the portion ratio was off, with far too much roti and not enough mince to balance it out.

The Strawberry Mojito also fell short of expectations. It lacked the refreshing minty and citrusy flavors typically associated with a mojito, making it taste morestrawberry like plain strawberry juice rather than a well-crafted cocktail.

On a positive note, the fries were standard but well-prepared, providing a reliable side dish. The Passion Fruit Mojito was a pleasant surprise, offering a nice blend of sweet and tart flavors that were well-balanced and refreshing.

In summary, the restaurant provided a mixed experience. While the Chicken Arabiatta and Passion Fruit Mojito were highlights, the Chicken Mince with Roti and Strawberry Mojito left much to be desired. With a few improvements, particularly in flavor balancing and portion sizes, this place could elevate its dining experience...

Ambiance: 4.5/5 Food: 4/5 Price: 4/5 This place is so nice, small & cozy. Perfect for a couple or even to go in w a group of friends. They don’t have a lot of seating scope but it has fairy lights and is gorge in the night. The food is sooo good as well. Well but to be honest, I’ve only had their dessert(s) and falooda. But they’re so good! I usually get their waffle w Premium Chocolate and Biscoff; which is(did I mention?) SO GOOD xD The waffle is drenching in this milk chocolate and Biscoff. So You can get the whole waffle or half. Tip: I’m someone who’d devour in a whole cake but trust me when I say this, Half is more than enough for one person. I tried eating the whole waffle by myself and I shouldn’t have because I was stuffed and sugar high for the rest of that day. I’m not a fan of pancakes (I know I know), but these pancakes are (brace for impact) SO GOOD! Also got the Premium Chocolate and Biscoff. I got the mini ones and it comes in a box of 12. Super cute, super fluffy and oh so drenched in chocolate + Biscoff. The falooda is really good as well. We got it to take away so I couldn’t snap an appetizing picture, but it comes w a scoop of ice cream, the basil seeds, the syrup AND NUTS (we believe it was almonds) Tip: make sure to mix it tho or all you get in the beginning is rose syrup and a basil pudding at the end. All in all this place’s food (at least the ones I’ve tried) are really good and...

Epi-Q at Jawattha

Location : In Sulaiman Terrace towards the Thimbirigasyaya end. You can easily miss the place if you are driving in from Thimbirigasyaya; Right opposite Java Lounge

Ample parking for about 10-15 vehicles

Ambience : Small, well lit place. Can accommodate about 20 people. There are couple of tables out side for about 8 people.

Service : Seemed like a four man operation. Two in the kitchen and two for serving the food. Nothing to complain about the staff; It was more of come-eat-go kind of a vibe. No pampering nor pestering

Food prep time was a bit too long, took about 20minutes.

Food : Ordered a 10” Smoked Pizza, Blue Lemonade and Passion Mojito

About the Pizza, the dough was thin and soft. Had a generous amount of cheese. Wasn’t the same with Chicken, which we thought they could have added a bit more.

Was a bit greasy but overall it was better than Pizza Hut, both in terms of taste and price.

Passion Mojito was standard passion fruit juice. Blue Lemonade was good. It is a better option than the everyday lime juice or Lemonade.

VFM : The food was satisfactory for the price; and kind of chill/hang out spot. A little bit of improvement in customer handling will do them wonders.
