Mythi's is a small streetside restaurant down Station Road, Bambalapitiya, that serves up some killer rice and curry.
The new Mythi's doesn't have a lot of seating, but they do have plenty of great curries!
Mythi's is a small streetside restaurant on Fife Road that offers arguably the best black pork curry in Colombo, along with a killer rice and curry.
At Mythis you can always find get a good serving of pork curry- arguably the best local meat curry. For Rs. 260 you get a generous helping of pork, a good splash of the day’s vegetable curries- dhal, beetroot, okra, breadfruit, a papadam and some sambols on a typical day. It’s a good meal for the price and - by the standards of buth kades - Mythis is clean and well ventilated.

Tried Mythis after reading the review. IMHO, the pork curry was average, maybe it has been the time or the day I went. I have had some superb, I mean exellent pork curry at Gallery Cafe and at the Dutch Burgher Union, albeit spending way more than what I paid for Mythis.

The Mythi's pork curry is pretty average - I meant pork curry in general was arguably the best local meat curry- better than chicken, and beef curries. Mythi's variant is only regionally interesting in that if your in the area why not but not worth going out of your way for.
Should have made that clearer-the heaven's kitchen variant is one grade above but we're still looking for pork curry perfection.

Got your point Savan. I would also like to recommend that you tryout and review Summer Garden down Green Path. They serve a decent mixed-grill (greasy) and a pork stew.

glad to see you guys finally got round to Mythi's. IMO the best pork curry in Colombo. definitely better than DBU and Barefoot (both which it shouldn't even be comparable to, given the difference in price). i've not had the pork curry at Gallery, but i think a true curry can only be judged with its proper samba rice, parippu, and other accompaniments, and not in the sterilised rice-on-the-side versions you get at the Barefoots and Galleries, so i usually avoid it in the upmarket places. there are so many other things those places do way better than curry.
btw, it's tamarind in the pork curry, not mushroom. traditional black pork curry has tamarind in the seasoning.

Thanks again David Blacker. I've become a regular visitor at Mythis since your (& the other dudes recommendation a few weeks ago).

"They've also got some mushroom in there as well which complements the pork."
If it's the kidney shaped black colour stuff in a rather thin slice (1-2cm thick), then it's dried goraka.

must try next time.
My new lunch spot tho is Gami Gedara in Ethul Kotte. They've got a range of veges to choose from and pork, mutton, chicken, fish curries, prawns, cuttlefish, fried fish, egg. Cmon what more do u want! Go for a weekend lunch.

Try palpatha near mirihana.massive range of curries. Foods pretty good too

It definitely wasn't tamarind but it could have been goraka that I mistook for the mushroom. Although texturwise it was quite similar.

Tried Mythis last week. Got one black pork curry with rice and one chicken curry with rice. Black pork was good… More meat with bits of fatty pieces. Rice and curry was quite ordinary. Chicken curry again very ordinary. Only I was there at noon time on a Saturday. Wouldn't try Mythis again as its a bit out of my travel zone.
However the Tastys just across the street was packed to the brim! Got some awesome eclairs:)

Wanted to try out this place after reading this YAMU article. So me and my friend bought a couple of black pork curry portions today. Veryyy small portions with fat! Average taste. I think this place is a bit overrated regarding black pork! …… you can find a few places which will offer a fairly larger portion for the same price around narahenpita and Kirula Road!!

does this mean that the fife road location is no more?
Or are they doing a parallel run?
Kinita
Fife Road is no more! Their only location is Station Road, Bamba now.

You wanna have the best rice and curry with pork just visit the hole in the wall down park road. Not just the pork but all of their curries are so good and they serve nice yellow rice during weekends.

There's no pork here anymore
