Our impromptu visit to Dumplings Cafe with our family of six turned out to be an unforgettable dining experience. From the moment we stepped in, the staff's exceptional warmth and patience made us feel right at home. As we navigated the menu, their guidance and friendly demeanor further enhanced the overall ambiance of the place. Opting for a family-style dining approach, we indulged in a delightful feast, ordering nearly 15 different items over the course of 90 minutes. The dumplings at Dumplings Cafe were a true highlight, and we found ourselves particularly fond of the fried varieties over the steamed ones. The chicken baozi, prawn spring rolls, and beef buns stood out as some of our favorites, each offering a burst of flavors and delightful textures. One standout item not to be missed is the Yellow & Green cold drink. Although the menu describes it as mango, fresh milk, and mocha, the surprise addition of matcha gave it an unexpected and splendid twist. The combination of flavors was a refreshing delight, leaving us thoroughly impressed. In summary, Dumplings Cafe offers not only exceptional food but also a welcoming ambiance that creates a truly memorable dining experience. From the delectable array of dumplings to the standout favorites like the chicken baozi, prawn spring rolls, and beef buns, the culinary adventure at Dumplings Cafe is sure to satisfy any craving for authentic and flavorful Asian cuisine. Don't forget to indulge in the Yellow & Green cold drink for a refreshing and surprising treat.

After an exhaustive sightseeing spree, our hunger led us to the delightful oasis that is "Dumplings Cafe" in Galle. Stepping in, we found ourselves enveloped in a soothing sea of light green, my personal favorite hue. The hardworking and incredibly kind staff immediately set the tone for a pleasant dining experience. Ascending to the upstairs restrooms, we were pleasantly surprised by their impeccable cleanliness—no unpleasant odors in sight. Opting for the outdoor seating amidst the lush greenery, we marveled at the well-thought design that combated the scorching weather with strategically placed fans. Our elation continued as we delved into the menu. To beat the heat, we sipped on an "Iced Matcha Latte" and "Iced Cinnamon Latte," priced at a reasonable 850 LKR each, both served with papaya stem straw, which was very good for the environment! For the main act, opting for lighter fare, we relished the "Fried Prawn Dumplings" and "Boiled/Steamed Chicken Dumplings," each priced at 1980 LKR. Each plate generously adorned with 10 delectable dumplings accompanied by a tantalizing bowl of spicy chili paste with oil. "Dumplings Cafe" not only satisfied our hunger but left an indelible mark of flavor and warmth. A gem in Galle, balancing culinary excellence and ambiance with finesse! 🥟🍵 #DumplingsDelight #GalleGastronomy

They are extremely rigid about their menu. I was hoping for dumplings with a side soup, but they only offer soup with their shrimp or beef wantons. Both meats I could not eat for health reasons and they were unwilling to make any adjustments so I went with the chicken lemongrass noodle soup. The food was just ok. Being a south east Asian and particularly critical of this cuisine, the dish didn't remind me of home. The noodles were thick but soft, nothing like typical silky rice noodles I'm familiar with. The broth had too much seasoning, not the light and clear kind I'm used to. It wasn't bad but it just had a strong cinnamon, possibly cloves and other seasoning taste that was more overpowering than the light simple meat/fish broth that's typical of this dish. The chilly oil was spot on though sparing. The location has a nice setup but not a wide space if it's raining. There was a large group setup behind where I was seated who were extremely loud that it made it difficult to hear my own thoughts, let alone to converse with my company. At 2530 SLR, it was a little too pricey for the experience. They accept card payments and have a bathroom upstairs. I won't be back again by my own account.

In the labyrinthine alleys of Galle Fort, where the whispers of history echo through the stones, I chanced upon a hidden gem of gastronomic delight: the Dumplings Cafe. This quaint Chinese eatery, nestled in the heart of an ancient fortress, has become a sanctuary for my taste buds and a temple for my culinary desires. I've returned to this hallowed ground time and again, traversing the vast expanse of their menu, each dish a symphony of flavors. The Dumplings Cafe is a beacon of hospitality, its staff the guardians of culinary excellence and the architects of a warm and inviting atmosphere. But let me not forget the elixir that has enraptured my senses and ensnared my heart – Pol, a divine concoction of coffee, coconut milk, and coconut cream. This heavenly brew, a testament to the alchemy of flavors, has bewitched my palate and left me yearning for more. To you, fellow travelers of the gastronomic realm, I extend an invitation to embark on a voyage of discovery at the Dumplings Cafe. Tread the hallowed grounds of Galle Fort, immerse yourself in the divine flavors that await, and let your spirit be forever transformed by this celestial experience.

Very good dumplings. I sincerely believe that you can't make an mistake with choosing any of them, they are all great. The menu is also nicely formed with little pictures which help you to choose. If you are hungry, I recommend to go directly for 2 potions of dumpling, as 1 dumpling portion seemed too small for me. I liked an ecological bamboo straw that came with a coffee that I had ordered. That's the way how to save sea turtles! The place is very nicely decorated and with all those plants, it offers somehow refreshing atmosphere. What I didn't like was the ground itself. There are concrete panels on the ground with gapes without these panes in-between. If you are sitting facing the long side of the concrete panels, you can' move much, or you are moving doing some jumps together with your chair. If you drag the chair, the legs of the chair are just felling together with you in those gaps between the panels. So amazing idea for an esthetic floor, but the execution is not very practical for a lot of small tables with chairs in a restaurant.

I'm happy to say that Galle which is my home town has a wonderful place to have yummy dumplings. It Locates inside the Galle fort which is one of a world heritages. I tried their menu and each one was so yummy more than the dumplings in five star hotel buffets I experienced. The place is quite and calm place which is very clean and comfortable too. It has simple interior design but very attractive. The staff is very friendly and provides a great friendle service. Not only , the serves the food as soon as possible. I saw that they communitas with some of the foreigners very friendly and the foreigners were soo satisfied with their hospitality. The price is average. But, it is reasonable when compairing with the experience. ***** Highly recommended for both foreighers and locals. Specially, they follows an eco-frindly way and don't use plastics.
