رستوران غذاهای دریایی اوشن

We had a wonderful experience in ocean restaurant. We got Baked crab, passion & mint mocktail and creamy cheese macaroni.. all are in good taste. Baked crab & mocktail were the best!! Very yummy... Good atmosphere! Thank you the team specially Mr. Malshan & Ms.Nipuni for nicely arranged a surprise cake for our birthday celebration too.

I had an exceptional lunch at Oceans so much so I went back the next day for dinner. Restaurant has a great view of the pool and very modern.

The seafood was super fresh and well priced for what you get.

Staff were very attentive and great advice on what to order.

Highly recommend you will not be disappointed

Our experience at The Ocean restaurant in Kingsbury Hotel was exceptional, thanks to Mr. Mangala and Mr. Pasindu’s outstanding service. They ensured our comfort from the moment we arrived . Their attention to detail and promptness in managing our order, including freshly prepared seafood at the live counter, made our dining experience truly enjoyable. This restaurant has been our go to place for seafood & they never disappoint. Additionally, they happily catered to our daughter’s needs, preparing the food exactly the way she likes it. We highly recommend The Ocean for its delicious food ,impeccable service & genuine care for their customers. Thank you, for making our visit memorable! Looking forward to dining in again.

It was my best birthday memory in Sri Lanka.Everything is delicious and the service is great.Especially, udesha's recommended creamy lobster and dessert were exquisite.I forget their names, but the other staff members were also very kind.I'll go again😊

the food was ok. the concept is that you go up and order your fresh fish at the counter. none of the waiters explained the concept to us and we had to ask ourselves.

I got lobster with curry and my girlfriend got a prawn curry. the taste was good but there was a lack of spices. You could barely taste that there was salt in the food.

the wine list is good, we ordered two glasses of Hugel Gewurztrauminer (tasted good as always). But their drinks are nothing special to go for…

Which ever country I am in, I am always on the quest for a good lobster dish. Not surprising then, that I ended up at Ocean, the seafood restaurant at the Kingsbury, in Colombo. I had arrived without a reservation, so after a brief wait and some arm twisting, I got a corner table right by the entrance. Oh well. Beggars cannot be choosers :). While the place was crowded and the seating limited, it had a good vibe, which is enhanced when you see their spread of fresh seafood on ice. They have it all (see my pictures). Diners go to the display and select what they wish to eat. And guess what, there are 40 different ways to cook your fancy, in cuisines that cover Indian, Thai, Chinese, Italian, Continental, Japanese and Sri Lankan. I chose a 0.73 kg lobster to be prepared in a tempered Sri Lankan style (with onions, chilies, etc), The preparation of the dish was unique, intense in taste, and took me to another place. It was very spicy, and should have been toned down so that the cooking style itself does not bury the taste and flavor of most of the lobster bites. For dessert, I asked for chocolate biscuit pudding. It was not on the menu, but the server obliged and got it from another restaurant at the hotel. It was tough, cold, hardly layered, too sweet and a disappointment. Service overall, was superb.

So I did go back for lobster again, but was keen on having it grilled with garlic butter and let me tell you it was the best grilled lobster I have ever had…. the meat was so tender like it was poached, even though it was grilled very succulent, juicy with intense flavor literally melting in your mouth, but with robust texture. Wow, this was really an amazing experience. So much so that I asked the manager to bring out the Chef (Damith Jayatileka) from the back, and I congratulated him for a perfectly prepared dish. See my pictures. I went back again on another day, and this time chose to have the grilled King Prawns with garlic butter and insisted chef Damith prepare it. Once again, a masterpiece of presentation, flavor, texture, and taste. See my pictures. Before that, Oysters Rockefeller with garlic toast was fantastic. Dessert was baked Alaska also pretty good. I will be going back, hopefully more than once, to have the lobster, as well as the king prawns, again. Wow.
