Oldfort Cafe — Restaurant in Colombo

I felt so lucky to have found this place! We had three hours to spare before heading to the airport after getting off the train, and it was the perfect spot.

The restaurant is just a few minutes' walk from Fort Rail Station. We were greeted by a smiling staff. The place was a bit busy when we arrived and had a nice mix of both local and foreign customers.

The menu selection is huge! I was surprised that the food wasn’t just extensive but also delicious. My pasta was perfectly al dente—something even some high-end restaurants fail to get right! Five stars for the food—and the prices were great value too.

I recently had an extremely disappointing experience at your establishment. Our company of ten encountered numerous issues that left us thoroughly dissatisfied. Firstly, despite placing my order first, I was the last to be served. Additionally, the mango fresh juice took over 20 minutes to arrive and was diluted with water. The most concerning incident occurred when the waiter mistakenly served my dish to another patron, who began eating it before realizing the error. Shockingly, the waiter then attempted to serve me the partially eaten dish, complete with a used, dirty fork. It took multiple requests to have my order canceled. This level of service is unacceptable, and I hope steps are taken to address these serious...
