Lunch at Raja Bojun


Raja Bojun at Galle Road is the place to go in Colombo for authentic Sinhalese food. The buffet is served in traditional earthen utensils. And the spread is delicious. "Raja Bojun" translates to " Food for the King" and the flavours and taste do take you back to the times of the great Sinhalese Kings. The elephant at the enterence is adds to the effect.




The buffet included cucumber fry , mixed vegetable and spicy fish, beef and chicken curries.





The ambiance is very modern though, there is a piano man at the center. The front wall is made of glass and the view of the Indian ocean from my table was breath taking.



The buffet includes a fine selection of jellies, fruit salads and cakes to finish the meal on a very sweet note.

A meal for two with drinks will cost you a reasonable 30 dollars.


The Place to eat when you are in Colombo.

Hey you're quite a foodie! Who would've thought! And do describe Sinhalese food in detail - how is it different from lets say south indian cuisine? Don't want to reduce it to an academic thing, but i'm curious.
