No 131, Maya avenue, Colombo 6 (Head office)
This is our
first review on the restaurants section and we chose “The Chariot” in Maya
avenue because it was our very first date spot.
Walking into the restaurant, we were surprised seeing the lovely
interior, the food and service they offer. It was total value for money. If you
want to have a great dine in experience for a real worthy price, The Chariot is
a definite option.
The Chariot
also has branches in Dehiwela, Bambalapitiya, Panadura, Pelawatte, ODEL
Known for
They are known for their
Jaffna dishes which they serve under the motto of “Yummy Yarlpanam”.

Interior seating arrangements
We would say it’s the interior of the restaurant that makes
it special. Air conditioned place accommodating four tables (four chairs each) with
tablemats, glasses and needed cutlery and also an outdoor dine in area (Not
towards the road).
Menu
The Menu offered by The Chariot in Maya avenue, is the same
as their other outlets. However, this outlet does not offer Sushi as similar to
the World Trade Centre Outlet.
They offer a variety of Sri Lankan dishes especially Jaffna
dishes, Short eats, Juices and deserts. The Menu can be found in this link. http://thechariot.lk/menu/
The Short eats are much spoken of and you can see many
stopping by in the morning to get breakfast for their kids. The short eats are
not mentioned in the above menu but it basically includes the common short eats
and along with some chariot special items, with price ranging from 50/= to
200/=.
The Lunch dishes offered are satisfactory. We have tried Nasi goreng and Chicken fried
rice both were good. A good lunch (with desert) would cost between 500/= to 1000/= (for two). With
the ambiance offered by the restaurant, it is total Value-For-Money. They also
provide you with water when you dine in (you might have to ask for it
sometimes).
Deserts, however, were not much impressive. They offer
biscuit pudding, caramel pudding etc for a price of 60/= to 100/= in a yoghurt
sized cup.
Milk hoppers are highly commended by all customers and are indeed
the best offered by The Chariot. The koththu also falls into the same list. Service
They are open from 7am to 10pm. The Staff is really customer friendly and concerned. Waiting time was 12 minutes for 2 dishes of chicken fried rice at around 1pm, when there were only two other customers along with us both. They have an open kitchen where the customer could see how the dish is served and curries are kept. Also there are no additional service tax charge and also no Wi-Fi connection.
Events
Privacy
It is a very silent place. It is not congested much in the
morning or afternoon. Provides a lovely atmosphere to dine in with your better
half. But could be crowded on weekends due to the student crowd from nearby
tuition providers.
They have various events like koththu & Mongolian night,
Mongolian & BBQ night, Dosa night, Sri Lankan night, Pittu night
etc. You can get the information about their latest events through their Facebook
