Saraswathie Lodge is another pure-veg South Indian spot on Galle Rd in Bambalapitiya. The ambience isn't as charming as nearby Greenlands Hotel but the thosai is marginally better.

Well known vegetarian hotel located at Wellawatta serving south…
Good Indian restaurant to taste some South Indian vegetarian…
If you are an Indian food lover you have to try this place. upstairs is more cool, but when it comes to Indian food i don't mind sitting in anywhere.
Masala dosai is delicious, try Ghee Masala! it is even better.
Wow, I love this place. The only problem is it's difficult to find a place to sit in a busy hour. It's always crowded at lunch time. "Masala Those" is the best(Around Rs.160/=). It's filled with some kind of a potato paste and it's awesome. With a lot of dhal or what ever curry they have I can easily have 2 "Masala Those". Believe me. It's not a size of normal Those. It's HUGE :D
Sarasvathie Lodge has a great history among the thosai lovers in Colombo. This used to be THE place to go for thosai long before all these other Indian restaurants came about. I used to dine in this place over twenty years ago during my accountancy training days, during lunch time while attending nearby IAS accounting classes. Brought back fond memories. Should visit this place one of these days. Thanks for the post.
Good old Saraswathie lodge. The true experience is going there in school uniform with your school buddies during school hours and trying to see how many dosas you can get for the little money you have :-)
hah ha looks like you haven't gone to their toilet! believe me you will take your words back!
I always visit to this place when I attend to classes in ESOFT & IDM back in 2007 -08. They have good menu. For morning string hopper and glass of fresh milk that's my choice. They have veg biriyani cost arond 100/-. It contains small veg pieces, Kaju with polos maluwa or soya curry, small wade, miris bedala + papadam.
Love this place.
Had a peaceful meal at this place today. Paper Dosai and Masala Dosai were really good. We were told that the masala dosai would serve one,but I,a grown male, had difficulty having one full. I'm not a vegetarian but I would go vegetarian if I had food from here everyday.
Service is good. They attended to us with a smile and were never rude. their patience is admirable too.
took only about 5 minutes to serve. gotta say, that Sambaru is awesome! Would eat again.
Used to go there while I was attending classes at Esoft and Matrix . For most of saturdays breakfast at saraswathi was my only meal for the day until I reach my hometown around 8 P.M . Dosai , Wade combinations or string hoppers coupled with glass of Tea or Milk was enough for the entire day . Thanks for bringing back old memories . Highly recommend the place

Their lunch meals are really worth the money. Filling and delicious, you even get free bananas, and yogurt on Fridays. The place can get packed around lunch time so do check out the upstairs room for seating. I didn't know this existed a while back 😅
