Hela Fresh - Colombo

Vegetarian set lunch, full of local delicacies and enjoyed very much. Try the Jack fruit cutlets and the fresh wood apple juice. Efficiency in the payment counter can be improved talk a bit loud and you will get the required attention.

The food was great and very delicious. The beans could have been cooked a bit more. But teh Egg plant, Bitter gourd and fish dished were tasty. Teh yellow rice also wasn't very oily.

Commendably managed by Agriculture Ministry Hela Bojun offers a variety of local food and drink, under hygienic conditions

You can find an array of typical Sri Lankan village food here at very reasonable prices. Hela Bojun is a concept introduced by the Department of Agriculture, Peradeniya. It is a remarkable concept. It provides Sri Lankan village type freshly cooked food prepared by self-employed women, giving these women an opportunity to make a living. The concept is similar to a food court in a Mall, except it is a sort of single cuisine. Each cook will prepare their own speciality food. It is a cash only operation. Behind this 'food market ' you will find a plant nursery where you could buy typical Sri Lankan vegetable, fruit, spices and flower plants.

What a foody experience. The food is awesome. So many options for tasty authentic Sri Lankan food. Yummy yummy.
