Harpo's Pizza
Situated in a very unassuming corner on Stanley Thillakaratne Mw, is Harpo's Pizza. It's a small space where you can either dine in or order out. Famous for their pizzas, this outlet also has an array of pastas to choose from. You can opt for one or the other.
Garton's Ark
For something scenic and out of the ordinary, we suggest lunching at Garton's Ark. It's a little pricier than your usual lunch places but if you want to impress your clients or take your significant other for a cruise while having a meal, the Garton's Ark is your place with an international buffet lunch on Friday's.
The Wild Wok
In the chaos of Nugegoda, you might find refuge some refuge at The Wild Wok which is a pleasant little eating spot dedicated for noodles. The ordering of your meal is an interactive process where you have to pick what makes up your meal. Interestingly it is the same process on delivery. So you get what you asked for basically.
My Burger
If thousands of grains of rice immersed in curry is not your cuppa, we suggest My Burger. My burger does some really easy on the wallet burgers to subs to wraps to rice and kottu too.
Amro Vegetarian Cafe
If you are looking for vegetarian options with a good portion of rice and curry and easy on the finances, you can go to Amro. It's a household name for people living in and about Nugegoda. Their food is flavoursome, filling and yummy. You can opt to have it delivered or you can sit and enjoy lunch right there at their outlet. They also have delicious pani-pol pancakes.
Chinese Dragon
What Chinese Dragon once was and what it is today is very different in terms of quality and flavours. But it still is a firm favourite of many. If you are passing by Nugegoda, Chinese Dragon is located on High-Level Road, in close distance to Gamsabha junction.
