Can't add anything more to the already positive reviews than to say how much I enjoyed my meals at Lagoon. Loved it so much, went back twice in two days and each time was just as fantastic. Must try dishes - thai style red curry with modha fish, cuttlefish in tamarind sauce, kankun with garlic, and crab fried rice. A... More

The Lagoon has some of the best tasting food I have ever eaten. Every dish on the menu is simply exquisite, hits the spot, and leaves you feeling well fed. The Lagoon is a seafood restaurant offering food with a slight twist to the regular flavours you'd expect. For this reason, even if you're sick to death of seafood, it's... More

- Absolutely awesome seafood restaurant in Colombo. They have a lunch buffet on Sunday's, which is really worth for the price. Need to reserve in advance though.

We arrived at closing time for lunch and were accommodated by a pleasant welcoming manager. After some preliminaries we were seated. The sea food was fresh, tastefully prepared and presented. Due to pressing business meetings we had to rush through our lunch but enjoyed the meal thoroughly.

First, to the kitchen, the food was excellent, tasty and very fresh, I can’t fault anything, it was all first rate. Congratulations. Waiting staff – wow – hold back! You are not important, and can easily spoil the experience. If there are 3 people working / talking over dinner do not keep interrupting every few minutes to pour water, try... More
