Grind — Restaurant in Colombo

I love it here. ૮ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ა I tend to visit a place I like several times to make sure their service is consistent before posting a review & I can vouch for that at Grind. The food has such a lovely playfulness to its flavours. I love the beetroot garnish on the Avo Toast. It adds a surprise sweetness to the otherwise savoury dish. My favourite go-to drink is the hot matcha latte. It's so tasty I've been guilty of buying two because one is just not enough. └(ﾟ∀ﾟ )┘ For iced drinks, my personal favourite is the Hojicha latte. I've tried the matcha but the burnt flavour of the former hits a nicer spot. Small feedback though: It would be nice if the cups for iced drinks were taller because the ice cube hijacks the space, leaving little room for the drink itself. (Since I understand the large cubes are used to avoid it from melting too quickly & diluting the drink.)

I have yet to try all their dishes, but it's difficult to try a new one when the ones I have tried are already so comforting. But I'm sure the others are great too. ꃋᴖꃋ

They have separate menus for breakfast, brunch and dinner! The Brunch menu is currently available from 11 a.m. I am not sure of the time for the Dinner menu but going after dark usually does the trick :p

They get quite busy after 9 a.m. & I feel I once overheared reservations not being allowed when it's in its peak hours (but do double-check this). Laptops are respectfully asked not to be used to avoid crowding tables during this time too, which is fair.

The atmosphere feels like a grove in the city, due to its minimilaistic design choices but use of wooden nooks, pastel green staff shirts (one of my favourite colours! I live for pastels) & textured upholstery. I also like how the seats were arranged to give the feel for diners, restaurants and cozy cafés all at once without feeling jarring. I personally love sitting by the little cubicles near the windows. I wish there were more of those. They feel very safe. I also recently noticed that the cushions were lined with three different colours of textured fabric, which gave the same satisfaction of a unlocking a hidden achievement. (,,ヮ
