Dinemore's never struck me as an exceptional place. I've always enjoyed the food and found it tasty, but it's not the kind of place I'd actively choose to go to – it was more of an oh it's just round the corner or grab a quick bite sort of place.

සිංහල මම හිතන්නෙ මේක අලුත් ස්ටයිල් එකක් වෙන්න ඕන. මොකද සබ්මැරීන් එහෙමත් ලංකාවට හඳුන්වල දුන්න වගේ ඩයින්මෝර් එකෙන් ‘කෝල්ඩ් බිරියානි’ කියල එකක් වත් හඳුන්වල දීලද දන්නෙ නෑනෙ.
සිංහල Dinemore කිසිදිනෙක සුවිශේෂ ස්ථානයක් ලෙස මගේ සිත් ගත් තැනක් නොවෙයි. එහි කෑම රස බව මම දන්නවා. ඒත්, එය මම නිතර යන්න හිතන තැනක් නොවෙයි. එය ඔය හදිසියට කෑමට යමක් ගන්න යන අසල්වැසි තැනක්.

Most of the places in Colombo have food that is certainly overpriced for the quality and range that is offered. Dinemore has a wide range of food items, from Indian to Italian to Western, all of which are within reasonable price ranges.

Went to dinemore after a few years to find that the Subs gone down in quality significantly. Biriyani is good though
These guys have a pretty decent rice and curry(for lunch)… the beef is especially recommended…
The Dharmapala Mw (Colpetty) Dinemore has a beef chop which is bloody amazing. It's only available at that outlet unfortunately, but is well worth it. I haven't seen beef chops anywhere else in Colombo.
BTW you should do a review of Summer Gardens, the last bastion of the original Colombo mixed grill, plus treasures lost to Buddhism and Islam such as gammon steak, oxtail stew, and grilled tongue.
I agree that Dinemore's best might be the rice and curry - both beef and prawn (although it is more suitable to name it shirmp) varieties are pretty good. They did a great pizza at the Rajagiriya branch for some time, but I don't think that place exist there anymore.
Dinemore restaurants are generally too crowded for me and the food is always too late (have to keep reminding the waiter). Yes, they use a lot of mayo but the fact that the food/taste hasn't changed over the years is not necessarily bad - especially when a lot of other restaurants starts off with a bang and go downhill from there.
@DB: Where is Summer Gardens?
It's on Green Path, opposite Victoria Park, about 400m west of the Nelum Pokuna auditorium. Don't let the fact that it's run by the CMC put you off -- the food's great.
Dinemore is good when there is no other place left to go :) … you should write a review on Indian Hut in Galle. Their restaurant in the Galle Fort is pretty amazing in the evening.
Dinemor had an excellent chilly chicken shawarma back in 2004-06. I think the last time I went there was in 2008 and it was a total piece of crap, crammed with lots of lettuce, grated carrots and other cheap fillers.
Well I personally think the food has gone down. Last time when we went there we ordered burgers/submarines. And trust me it was useless….we only took couple of bites and it looked like a 10 year old had made them. The fries weer I think left overs fried again. It is too crowded, congested and the waiters take hell of a long time to get the food. Will not go again… although I used to there frequently ….
Dine more is not the best place anymore… Their food quality is gone down. Last week i went to kollupitiya dine more and i took salad. Their not fresh and spoiled… The waiter's treat us like we have come to get the meal for free…. Customer satisfaction is nil
Beef Chop is everywhere, and its da best beef chop you'll get anywhere in this country… Bet you 1 Million rupees, if you find a better beef chop…
I think the Dinemore pizzas are the best I've ever had.
I love a lot of cheese and toppings and extra gooey-ness, which is exactly what they serve.
The muttiah road branch has one of the tastiest choc chip milkshakes going around, perfect after a good sub/nasi or pizza.
Placed an order with Dinemore and was asking if I had made any orders before and when was the last time an order was placed which took about 5 minutes and afterward they were ready to listen to my order. Mentioned to them what is required and requested the bill for two seperate bills as it was for two seperate teams. Dinemore refused to make it for two spereate bills saying they had placed the order already even without knowing that I had finish ordering. After speaking back and forth wasting 15 mins of my time I had to cancel the order. What a waste for time !!!!.
Quality is gone down during the last two years. Size of the subs getting reduce everyday. Disappointing customer service…don't waste your money and time at dinemore.
Went to Dinemore rajagiriya! Worst experience of a restaurant ever.
First we ordered our food on the counter and when requested for drinks very surprisingly they did not have any drinks (expect for water). I was like 'wow' even street shops sell drinks anytime of the day.
Worst to come the entire restaurant is unclean, untidy of tables (not cleaned properly). Felt so disgusting to even have the food.
Their service has suprisingly gone extremely below par.
I personally request 'Yamu' to give their reviews Iatleast Dinemore to considerx
Me and my friends from office went to the FLower ROad outlet last week. Ordered 6 sub-marines and soft drinks. 1st, It took around 15 minutes to catch a waiter guy, Since the location was full, went in the peak time (around 1PM) and there were only 3 waiters (according to my memory). Got the drinks after a long wait. However, we noticed that people who came after us getting their orders. We were so hungry and wanted to check with the guy whom we placed the order. What he told was the Submarine buns were finished. This was told by them after one hour of coming to the place. We were almost shouted at the manager and all he told was sorry for the inconvenience and he didn't accept the fact that people came after us gor what they have ordered. He offered us his next options, rice, burgers and all. But no one wanted them. However since he realised they have done a mistake, they didn't get the money for the drinks.
Seriously I don't have any regret for not having a submarine from this place since as we all know there are new joints which serve quality food than Dine More and who have good customer service skills.
I suggest if you need to have satisfied customers, you seriously need to streamline the processes and the communication between the kitchen and the waiters or the manager.
We have always found Dinemore to be a an unhygienic place, especially the two branches in Kandy. There were french fries & crumbled up paper napkins all around. The seats covers were stained and sprinkled with rice grains. There was an incident of food poisoning of a few relatives of ours after consuming Dinemore food a few years ago. The management of Dinemore had to bare the hodpitalization expenses of the entire family. It is definetely not a place recomended for family dining.
Dinemore has stopped it's delivery service, so it's best to remove it from the Delivery label.

Quality has come down drastically. Went there on 2016-Aug-09. Had these…
Dhal Fry 280.00 LKR: Quality has gone down. Had the texture, color of a pile of dung. Not good to the eye also. Taste was also off.
2 x Paratha at 100 each was even worse. It was like sheet rubber. Tasteless rubbish.
They charge 40 bucks for a small mineral water bottle.
Total bill came to 520.00. Not worth the money.
Very disappointing. Should up the standards.
Five of us went to the Thurstan Rd branch on 14th Jan around 2pm to grab a bite. Ordered few things including a chicken biriyani and a chicken club sandwich. When the food came I found the biriyani rice to be cold (not even room temperature). When the waiter served the plate of club sandwich he accidentally spilled one quarter sandwich and some fries on the table. We were shocked when he asked us whether we mind having that. He expected us to pickup that food from the table and eat it. I patiently asked him to replace the sandwich and decided never to visit that branch again.
Inefficient and irresponsible customer service. I ordered two Veg-club sandwiches today evening at 6.12pm. A lady customer care officer took the order she asked me the address. I gave her it and explained the direction as well clearly. I asked her whether they accept Credit/ Debit Card. She said that they don't accept cards, only cash on delivery. I told her that I have only Rs. 5000/- note and asked her to send change money. The guy appears after 1hr and 30minutes delay and he didn't have change also he was not informed on this. The poor delivery guy had to go to a shop to get it changed for me. After the guy left I opened the sandwich pack and it was Chicken club sandwiches not the one I ordered. Imagine what a disappointment. I called again and complained it. They promised me that they will send again the veg sandwiches, and the same guy came again at 9.05pm with the correct one. Why all this hassle? If the costumer service is doing a good job. Ultimately I felt it's not worth for that price. Worst experience ever, I will not recommend their delivery service.
