Kinnaree Thai Restaurant - Colombo, Sri Lanka

Thai legend tells a story of the mystical human, Kinnaree princesses, with their unearthly swan wings, playing together in a lotus pond. Tales like this are one of the generous wonderment deeply rooted in the Thai Buddhist culture and are often instilled in symbolizing authenticity and diversity in its cuisine that Thai restaurants are famous for.

In Sri Lanka, the spirituality of Thai tradition, with an exceptional twist has left its delectable mark at the Kinnaree Restaurant, in Colombo’s heart.

Set in the centre of the city of Colombo, within the Dutch Hospital premises, which is also the restaurant’s front entrance, Kinnaree sits just a walk-along distance down Chatham Street, at its second foyer. Parking is easily accessible and ample at both entrance points, which gives

Kinnaree’s interior is abundantantly spacious—much room to wine and dine is invitingly expressed. Adorned with the symbolic lotus flower held graciously by a princess, the walls speak volumes for a culturally Thai dining experience, while the food adds a certain creative twist, even for the most discerning.

We are open daily from 11am to 11pm, and invite you to have your special dinner outings, business meetings, events including news briefings and products launches.
