Hotel De Pilawoos

Top choice in Colombo


Just known as Pilawoos, this open-fronted purveyor of short eats is renowned for what may be the best kotthu (rotti sliced up with cheese and other fillings and fried) in town. Expect the mighty and the humble to drop by any time to grab one; take our advice and have the cheese version, and chase it with a fresh juice.
