Iqbal - Colombo

If you have ever worked in the Pettah area, Iqbal is the perfect spot for lunch. The area has few options for decent food that is not a health hazard. They offer a typical selection of rice and curry, biriyani, fried chicken, and more. The atmosphere and location are nothing special, with a typical street shop vibe and somewhat lacking in cleanliness. However, if you can overlook that, the food is flavorful and reasonably priced. I have eaten here multiple times without any issues, so if you find yourself in Pettah and in need of a lunch option nearby, I recommend giving it a try. Otherwise, you may want to explore other options.

This restaurant in the bustling Old Moor Street junction is a favorite among locals and visitors alike.

Careless server and over-priced, disappointing food.

Friendly service and value for money
