- Today we are going to try some northern Sri Lankan / South Indian food @the Gandi Hotel. My son and I are traditionally trying the byriani there which is a vegetarian byriani, my wife is having a Jaffna rice and curry while Olive is having a paper thosai (dosa) that they also serve. What did we think of this food and restaurant? Let's check it out. Do help with the distribution of the video.

😂😂😂👍👍👍
my ancestors used to own the part of the land next to the canal (Layard's Canal or lanyards folly as the canal had a gradient which meant water flowed from the sea instead of into the sea)that you showed . That area has some very poor people but mainly wellawatha he extremely expensive real estate going to into 100's of $millions an acre. There are many races and religions in Wellawatha.
It's an interesting place
Sri Lanka's best chicken biriyani place is Hotel Buhari 15 Panchikawatta Rd, Colombo 10, it's a Muslim restaurant. Area called Maradana, just 15-30 minutes tuk-tuk ride from where you are now in Wellawaththa.
I will check it out
@@yvesthesleeve
I sent the link of Hotel Buhari to your Instagram. Take care and enjoy your stay buddy. Thank you.
Looking foward to 100k
me too...
Sau is made with tapioca balls, jaggery-type of palm sugar, coconut milk and other ingredients
Very good
What an amazing vegetarian lunch with the family. It's always wonderful to go around the table asking for review about the food. Great that everyone loved the food. Nice video as always, enjoyed watching. Thanks for posting, Sir. Have a glorious weekend.
thanks mate, you too
Very nice your family.and thanks your visit my country !! From italy ...
very welcome
É muito comida amigo haha 😃
Sau is actually sago(tapioca balls)
🙏🙏🙏
This is the best place in Colombo t o taste Jaffna style cuisine. If you go to left side of this hotel and turn left in to a side lane there is a restaurant that serves the be st mutton, crab,and shrimp curries made in Jaffna style.Royal bakery close to Jaffna Lodge has good bread and varieties of pastries and across the road there is a Muslim place sell many kinds of Halwas and best Falooda in town. You should not miss this shake in Srilanka.
will try
Excellent, have been missing your videos brother. Nice to receive your notifications, came in late to see because I am working at the moment so I was a bit late to open your video. However I am always waiting each time you upload a new video bro.
👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏

cheers mate
Thank You Coming Sri Lanaka 🇱🇰 Love You ❤ Be safe Enjoy Travel Friend Nice Volga I Love You Beautiful Family
thanks
I become fevorat of your vidoes brother. Nice meal of Indian style.. ❤️❤️ 🇮🇳🇮🇳
🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍
Hello I love watching your videos the way you present it with your family. When you go out to eat. I see you use your fingers you can ask for a spoon for your meals. I see you ate you dessert with your fingers you can always ask for a spoon. Thank you.
We don't need any spoons, thanks though
Superb .if u can visit negombo.its also a nice area
maybe will
Please visit to see donra light house.the highest light house of asia.you can see the end south of wold
"Sau" is sago pudding. It is made out of tapioca starch. Just like the balls in bubble tea. In this porridge they add ghee, raisins and cashews and they boiled the tapioca granules until it's soft and tender! No rice :) The texture that your experiencing is tapioca granules. In Sri Lanka try having vegetarian food. Honestly that's the best, wholesome and organic food and spices that you can't find anywhere else in this planet. Also make sure you visit every single Buddhist temple in Sri Lanka that is a landmark experience second to nothing in the entire universe! Try watching a prerahara ( parade with elephants, dances etc) while you're there, your kids will be over the moon!
Thanks mate
So cute💕 children ❤️🌹
thanks
Ciao sei ancora in Sri lanka prova andare negombo è bellissimo mare e spiaggia ….grazie
👍👍👍
Wow I see you are very hands on now using your hands to eat. You're already comfortable and used to having eat with your hands 🥳🥳👌👌
been eating a long time by hand....
Smile as always 😍 waiting for more videos like this. Take care
thanks
Thanks... ❤️ visiting srilankan ❤️🇱🇰
very welcome
It's a Sri Lankan Tamil restaurant. They sell vegetarian meals, bcs of Hindu orientation. Their origins are of South Indian and similar cuisines.
Sawu is Sago, quite popular in Sri Lanka among all communities. I suggest you to find "Watalappan" from a restaurant and eat, if you haven't tasted alrady. It's so divine, you and your family will love it.
You and your family love SL's Street food and adjusted to the life so well.💥💥💥💥💥👍👍👍
thanks mate
For your information, the native tamils of the north and east have some tamilnadu influences due to invasion of chera chola and pandya dynasties. But the tamils are native people and have assimilated tamil and south indian traditions.
@@KethTamilTubing of course most Sri Lankan Tamil people are natives of Sri Lanka. My comment was only about food in that Tamil restaurant, which has a lot commonality with food traditions and cuisine of Tamil Nadu. The author of the TH-cam channel is interested only in food habits and not geopolitics of Sri Lanka and India.
Enjoy your meals with family 😉 my home town ,wish from Germany 🇩🇪
🙏🙏🙏
Hi there..please feature the Pettah Market in Colombo with their shopping hub..it is just so interesting to see how clean the place is despite the crowded people..more power.
I have a Pettah video...
میری طرف سے تمام ویڈیو دیکھنے والوں کو اور میسج پڑھنے والوں کو پیار بھرا سلام قبول ہو اللہ تعالی ہم سب کو ڈھیروں خوشیاں نصیب فرمائے صحت کاملہ عاجلہ نصیب فرمائے ہر میدان میں کامیابیاں نصیب فرمائے آمین
Thanks so much
We normally drink the hot sago, when it's liquidy. And use a spoon to eat it.
yes sure
From what I see in your videos us that Sri Lankan food is very delicious 🙂
sure y
Welcome to Sri Lanka sir💓
thanks mate
Those are called Rasam, Payasam and moru ( you said Gravy, Dessert and butter milk)
Hi. Im lanka. I like this vidiyo
thanks
I think it will be difficult to always carry your child while recording making this video. Maybe once awhile you carry is alright but you also have to focus on good content to making the video and I am sure you're wife also understands that. Both parents are doing excellent job and making the sacrifices to bring up your children. For me personally I don't think it's good if someone comment and ask the question why you're not carrying your child because it's obvious you also have to make content and record and all this is for the benefit of your family as well as a whole. Anyway I really respect both you and your wife for being good parents, making good videos and also sacrificing things that we as viewers may not see or understand.. keep going brother.
Cheers, we will soon have a stroller again.
@@yvesthesleeve aha yes that's better bro, easier as well and the baby can also sleep whenever baby feel tired right. That's good. Also I think a 20 - 25 minute video is just nice ..
Interesting ❤❤
Looks tasty
11:55 poor boy! he must be starving 😂😂
Man you are a legend
cheers mate
What youre saying was right
just use spoon to eat sago 😁..we usually use spoon or glass to drink..some sago drinks are liquidy so then we can use glass..
Hey that sweet is called sago pudding
Awesome fud mr cool guy
cheers mate
And yes!!!!for all the followers…. You do wash your hands before meals!!! Lol!! Generous portions of food!! Delicious!!
indeed
I am a Sri Lankan
When will you come to Balangoda 🤔
not sure
@@yvesthesleeve Fine 😊
How long you all are going to stay in srilanka ?.Hope you will yet to visit north .
three months, sure going north, it's the main goal
Was waiting
cheers mate
Nice meal.
indeed
The sides u got was for ur wife's meal. Her rice was dry she was supposed to have been given some curry. The soup is rasam and curd which went with her rice at the end for digestion.
they still think that we can't eat spicy foods sometimes, sometimes we don't get curries.
@@yvesthesleeve u need ask next time.
O homem de trás de você ficou só olhando na curiosidade haha
You should pour the butter milk (Keer) on to the rice. 😁
Super 👍
👍🙏
These restorunts are mainly petronise by vegetarians. In wellawaththa lots of Srilankan tamil community lives around. They are mainly Hindus and Christians. Though it looks Indian most these places run and owned by tamil people from North and East part of Srilanka. They are Srilankan tamil people. Not Indian's. If you tour north and east part of Srilanka you will find many of these eateries.
Have a wonderful stay in Srilanka.
We are going up to Jaffna
Nice to see you guys enjoying this food, especially your kids which always seem to surprise me. If you google "Jaya Gandhi Lodge", their cuisine is referred to as south Indian. Don't think local Tamils have any connection to "Gandhi". Wellawatte has always had a high concentration of Hindu Tamils going back decades, & it's often referred to as "little Jaffna".
I was thinking that too....
That's sweet is made from ghee,raisins n jaggery with rice as main ingredient
very tasty
😍 beautiful Family
sav means sago
👍👍👍
Nice family 💕
thanks
The sweet is a pysam
It’s like a milk pudding
I like that
😇❤️❤️
I love your face reaction ❤❤🌹🌹
cheers mate
👍👍
What was the price of vegetable buriyani?
420
😍❤️
Gosh you will have to buy a new buggy for Dylan. I bet he is very heavy. My grandson is the same age and he is so heavy to lift!
It's alright, but we will buy a new stroller for sure.
Hello
Make a vlog with family..
😍
this vlog is with my family, please watch before commenting
Rolex hotel has the best mutton curry in town
alright
#visitsrilanka
That's some good portion of rice
😀🙏🙏👍👍
Tip to eat with hand ,
Grab the food with your finger tips and make it as shovel with your four fingers & push it through with your thumb finger towards to your mouth
I thought that is the way I already eat....
Hey Reichsteiner, for baby Dylan will you feed him with hotel food or do you have baby food for him?
Sure we feed him normal local food on any country, just not too much yet
@@yvesthesleeve ohh that's great!👍👍. Yeah I remember you feeding Dylan with some rice in Udipi hotel in Suryapet video in India😁😁
💜💜💜
Do not drink them. You have to mix them with food♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️😊😊😊😊😊♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🌷
👍👍👍
❤️❤️
We need to learn from you how to eat with hand😄 professional
😂😂😂😂😂
It's not an Indian place. It's a Sri Lankan Tamil Vegetarian Hotel. Sri Lankan Tamils are not Indians. They are the same as the Sinhalese, who share a common ancestor. Over thousands of years Sri Lankan who lived in the north was influenced by the South Indian Tamil culture due to trade and invasions. So the people who chose Hindu as their religion became Sri Lankan Tamils and the people who were in the South became Sinhalese who the North Indians influenced.
alright thanks
