“The Commons has a wide market spectrum and holds a special place for everyone – young and old and we wanted to offer some fresh ideas along with our favourites,” said Kishani Karunaratne – Director Operations.
Meanwhile, the Rotti Karaththaya (or Rotti Cart) had the distinction of being featured in the TIME Mag:Asia edition recently in its article “Five Reasons to Visit Colombo”. Titled ‘ Eat Kottu Rotti’ it read :‘One of Colombo’s favourite fast foods is kottu rotti — finely chopped flatbread cooked on a hot skillet with vegetables, eggs and meats of your choice. The locals typically wolf down a plateful after a night’s drinking: take one bite of its greasy blissfulness and you’ll appreciate why. A great place to try kottu rotti is the more salubrious Commons Coffee House.’ |
