    Delightful experience

    I had a wonderful experience at Ports of Call restaurant at Taj Samudra. The service was exceptional, especially thanks to Dilhara, who was incredibly attentive and professional. I thoroughly enjoyed the freshly prepared dishes crafted by Chef Vipin—each one was a delight!

    Brunch Buffet at the Ports of Call Restaurant on July 7th, 2024

    7/7 24 - Went with family for lunch buffet to Port of Call. Wide variety of food spread as much as they were all tasty. Excellent atmosphere. The waiters serving at every station were so willing to provide us what we asked for. The waiters serving at the tables are very attentive and very pleasant and did their duty very diligently. All the Managers on duty were extra vigilant about the customers needs. Excellent spread of the dessert section especially the waiter at the ice cream cart offering nice choices of cones. The Chef, Prasantha Perera I spoke to was very generous to bring me something that I had asked for. They do rounds talking to people and checking how they can be of service to the customers. It is my first time for the Sunday brunch and I would highly recommend the Sunday brunch to friends and family as they serve cocktails on the house too. It provides a nice atmosphere and live music which can be a little soft allowing people to chat to their friends. It was a birthday treat that I had given to my sisters in advance as I won't be around and everyone's comments were very positive about the food spread and the tastiness. Glad I chose Ports of Call for the birthday treat!

    Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your experience at Port of Call. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the lunch buffet and the excellent service provided. It’s great to know that the birthday celebration was a success. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to assisting with your future travel plans.

    Relaxed enjoyable lunch with family

    Had lunch at Golden Dragon restaurant at Taj Samudra Colombo. The food was delicious and service was excellent. The dishes recommended by the staff was amazing specially the black pepper beef curry. Special mention of Kasun Lasantha and Vijith who saw that we enjoyed the food and were very attentive. We enjoyed the food very much.

    Love love love

    The best ! My husband is Sri Lankan so we visit this beautiful country at least once year. We have tried many of the hotels in Colombo and around Sri Lanka and the Taj is one of our favorites. This stay we stayed in Shang Ri La as well and while it is lovely and wonderful, Taj is our favorite.

    Colombo By Night With Dinner At Taj Samudra Hotel: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Colombo.

    How much does Colombo By Night With Dinner At Taj Samudra Hotel cost?

    +

    Prices start at $73 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Colombo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Colombo By Night With Dinner At Taj Samudra Hotel take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Colombo is not rushed.

    Is Colombo By Night With Dinner At Taj Samudra Hotel worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Colombo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Colombo By Night With Dinner At Taj Samudra Hotel?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Colombo By Night With Dinner At Taj Samudra Hotel suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Colombo By Night With Dinner At Taj Samudra Hotel?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Colombo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Colombo and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Colombo By Night With Dinner At Taj Samudra Hotel start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Colombo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Colombo?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Colombo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Flexi dates on all 5 to 7 days packages for car and English speaking driver, Sri Lanka Personal Tour Driver in private vehicle, Private Multi Day Sri Lanka Tour with Chauffeur. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Colombo?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Colombo?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Colombo By Night With Dinner At Taj Samudra Hotel?

    +

    Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; On-board WiFi; Bottled water; English Speaking Driver; and All Fees and Taxes. Not included: Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Colombo By Night With Dinner At Taj Samudra Hotel include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 152 listed pickup locations in and around Colombo. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Colombo By Night With Dinner At Taj Samudra Hotel offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Arabic, German, English, Italian, French, Tamil and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Colombo By Night With Dinner At Taj Samudra Hotel?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Colombo By Night With Dinner At Taj Samudra Hotel wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Colombo By Night With Dinner At Taj Samudra Hotel if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Colombo. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
