I had the pleasure of dining at Coffee Kraft, a cozy Vietnamese coffee shop located in Colombo 03. The ambiance was charming and cozy, with warm lighting and tasteful decor. The menu featured a wide range of Vietnamese delicacies, and we ordered a variety of dishes to sample.
Starting with the appetizers, the banh bao and dumplings were a great way to start the meal. The fried chicken dumplings were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, while the steamed chicken dumplings were delicate and flavorful. The banh bao, a Vietnamese steamed bun filled with savory meat, was also a hit. The portions were decent.
Moving on to the mains, the fried egg noodles with beef and stir-fried flat pho with beef were both satisfying and flavorful. The beef was tender and well-seasoned, and the noodles were cooked to perfection. The vegan fried rice was also a standout, with plenty of fresh vegetables and a satisfying crunch. The only downside for me was that the dishes could have used a bit more spice, but that's a personal preference and I understand that not everyone likes their food too spicy.
The honey butter french fries were a delicious side dish that complemented the mains well. The fries were crispy and the honey butter seasoning was a unique and tasty twist. The fluffy broken rice with grilled chicken was another standout dish. The chicken was cooked to perfection, with a delicious smoky flavor that paired well with the fragrant rice.
For drinks, we had a strawberry mojito and an iced hazelnut cold coffee. Both were refreshing and flavorful, with the mojito being a great option for those who prefer a non-alcoholic beverage.
Overall, the food at Coffee Kraft was delicious and well-prepared. The portions were generous and the prices were reasonable, with our entire meal costing just 16,000. The only suggestion I would make is to offer additional spice on the side for those who prefer their food spicier.
I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for flavorful Vietnamese cuisine in a...
Read moreThe place itself is quite nice and cozy, with a clientele that seemed to be a mix of foreign visitors and regulars, which always signals a bit of credibility.
We initially went upstairs to be seated, but were soon asked to move to the ground floor as the upper level is apparently for reserved customers only. It was a bit odd, as the floor was largely empty except for a couple of people chatting casually. We decided not to let that spoil the experience and moved downstairs. The ground floor also has a cozy setup, perfect for a small group of friends. However, the staff seemed more focused on the upstairs patrons. After waiting for about 10 minutes, we finally got the menu.
We ordered a Beef Banh Mi, Chicken Bao, and a Matcha latte. (Decided against the famous Vietnamese coffee since it was already 7 pm!) The matcha was decent, with a pleasant flavor that wasn't too intense, which was great for a first-timer like me. Unfortunately, cleanliness left a lot to be desired; the inside of my straw was full of dead ants, so we had to return the drink, and they promptly removed it from the bill. Despite that hiccup, the food itself was quite enjoyable. The Banh Mi filling and meat were incredibly fresh and tasty; I personally would have preferred the bread to be a bit crustier, but that's just my preference. The Bao was wonderfully fluffy with a flavorful filling.
Overall, I really enjoyed the meal. I wanna give Coffee Craft another try to sample more of their dishes, hoping for an improvement in their...
