Mithaiwala
About
Mithaiwala serves Sri Lanka from 331 Galle Rd, Colombo, Sri Lanka. The café holds a 4.4 out of 5 average from 187 reviews.
That 4.4 out of 5 average from 187 reviews reflects a following built over many visits rather than passing trade. Colombo, Galle, Kandy, Negombo, Bentota, Mirissa, Unawatuna and Arugam Bay all sit within reach, so the venue can be folded into a wider island itinerary. Its position on Galle Rd places it in Colombo, on the western coast.
Mithaiwala operates as a café on Galle Rd in Colombo, and further detail sits at https://www.kapruka.com/partner/mithaiwala. The hill country in central Sri Lanka is cooler and wetter than the coastal plains, a useful contrast for anyone travelling between Colombo and Kandy.
Theravada Buddhism is the main religion of Sri Lanka, and full-moon Poya days are public holidays, which can affect opening times for travellers. Sri Lanka was known as Ceylon until 1972, and the island's ancient cities at Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa draw visitors interested in its longer history. Pidurutalagala is the highest peak in Sri Lanka, while Adam's Peak is a pilgrimage site climbed in season, giving travellers heading inland two distinct highland targets.
