Reviews Summary

Kurumbunkz is lauded for its breathtaking rooftop views, serene ambiance, and delicious food, especially breakfast bowls and coffee. The modern decor and friendly staff contribute to a positive dining experience. However, some guests have noted slow service at times and a potentially unwelcoming attitude from certain staff members, with one review detailing discriminatory treatment towards locals.

"My boyfriend and I had breakfast here and we were so pleased with the food and the service! It’s a beautiful place, quiet and relaxing and curated in every detail. They serve great quality food and the staff are incredibly welcoming and kind! We loved the delicious breakfast bowls and the amazing coffee! This is a place you must try if you are in Kandy!"

Stefania Albanese

"Perfect place to spend some quality time enjoying a perfectly brewed coffee and delicious food.
Calm and serene ambience. Perfect place to work and study. Food is delicious, and they have some western dishes with a Sri Lankan twist. Friendly staff as well. Would definitely go again"

Tharanga Gamage

"This place has excellent views. Absolutely stunning. The atmosphere is calm, relaxing, and really well put together. I’d easily give it a 10/10 for the views and overall vibe. The food was nice too, nothing extraordinary, but definitely enjoyable. I’d say around a 7/10 for the food.

However, I didn’t exactly feel welcomed by the staff. Maybe it was just a misunderstanding, or maybe I looked a bit underdressed and they assumed I’d just order something cheap and leave. Either way, I felt judged, and that’s not a good feeling. I believe every customer deserves to be treated right, no matter how they’re dressed or what they order. So I’d give the staff a 4/10 for hospitality.

That aside, it’s still a really nice place to visit."
