"As soon as I walked into the courtyard Cafe Kumbuk, I felt instantly relaxed – and not just because I knew my hunt for ripe avocado was over! It's a calming space away from the hustle and bustle of Colombo, and it just has that indescribable "vibe" that made me feel at home – must be something to do with the fusion of Australian, European and Sri Lankan influences brought to the space by it's creator, Shana Dandeniya. Or maybe the Shakti just flows over from Prana Lounge next door? 

Born in Australia, brought up in England and having lived in Sri Lanka, Shana's unique 'melting pot' of experiences have helped to shape her very own downtown café-space in the heart of Colombo. And it really is quite unique. I was so delighted to find sanctuary (of both spirit and stomach!) here in Sri Lanka's capital."

"Whizzing past the busy streets of Colombo we tend to find a range of restaurants, bistro’s and cafes! But walking down Horton’s place and just inside the very aesthetic Prana Lounge you find yourself an organic health oriented café – Café Kumbuk. 

Getting your hands on fresh, local, seasonal produce is always a bummer in Sri Lanka but not at Kumbuk! We’re talking about an inviting atmosphere, where you can simply unwind, read a book on a lazy afternoon and simply enjoy the company of loved ones with incredible dishes and the fresh breeze of Colombo. (yep no Air conditioners you artificial humans)."

"If you’re looking for a place to have lunch or a “fika” in Colombo check out Café Kumbuk. I’ve been following them on instagram for a while and was excited to see the place in real life. I had the prawn risotto, and it was really, really good. Petter went for the sea bass, which was good but not as wow! as the prawn risotto. We’re on a sugar free diet at the moment but their cakes looked like a dream and their drip coffee was superb too! Next time I’ll come for their breakfast menu that looks insane.

And oh, they’re in the same beautiful old building as Prana Lounge – a beautiful yoga studio. Drop in yoga class + a green juice, yum!

Colombo is bubbling of new restaurants and things to do at the moment. We have asked our friend and Colombo girl Shakthi aka Island Adventurist to write us a Colombo guide. Stay tuned!"
