Colombo Swimming Club
Swim club
👍 The best club around, since 1938 or so. Nostalgic colonel building and good prices. Rooms are basic but good. Food options are many, at decent rates. The pool is cool. The Sundowner is the best dining place. The view of the Indian Ocean, railway track and road, is just fabulous. Fantastic to be here...

Nilo Lanka Entertainment (Pvt) Ltd

😠 Not Recommend to have your meal here.
I ordered the BBQ chicken and found this guy who was a special garnish. What was really disappointing was the attitude of the chef responsible for preparing the meals who simply brushed it off as 'its just a kuruminiya'!!
