As I walked along, I spotted some food stalls selling prawn vada, crab, and fish. Not a huge variety, but hey — perfect for that “let’s eat something crunchy before dinner” mood.
Then came the main event — Aluthkade! I booked a PickMe (that’s basically Sri Lanka’s Uber) and zoomed off. It’s THE place for foodies — imagine an entire street that wakes up in the evening just to feed hungry people till sunrise.
You’ll find everything — chicken BBQ, naan, biryani, burgers, submarines, sandwiches, juices — basically, food heaven with traffic!
I started simple — a sausage spiral on the go. Then came the eye-catcher — a cheese chicken burger with cheese served in a syringe! Looked like something out of a food science experiment. Taste-wise… meh. The bun was okay, the fried chicken was okay — basically, a good-looking average burger.
Then I tried a BBQ chicken leg with naan, salad, and mayo — and that combo was pure perfection 🔥 A total must-try if you’re there!
I had dreams of tasting the bamboo biryani, crab curry, prawn curry, and mutton too — but my stomach threw up the “no vacancy” sign. Still had a tiny spot left though… for a chilled Ice Milo!
If you’re in Sri Lanka and don’t drink Ice Milo, you’re missing out. That cold, chocolatey magic was the perfect ending.
Full stomach, happy heart — that’s how I left Aluthkade. ❤️🍗☕️
