2.Lotus Tower Experience with Lunch or Dinner Buffet

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 126 reviews · 1.5 hours · from $69

Dine in Colombo’s rotating Lotus Tower restaurant with a 360-degree city view, international buffet, and one included drink.

“Disappointing over all for the money. They didn’t let us go up before 6:30pm so we missed sunset. We were seated next to the window which meant our table didn’t rotate around the restaurant like the tables on the lower section. Food was a standard buffet definitely not 5 star. Desserts were super average. Our tickets came with one free drink each which they tried to charge us for again, had to call the manager over to sort it out. View is lovely, would see more if you did a lunch as night time you only see all the city lights”

“Absolutely amazing😍 You’ll get picked up with very nice van, the driver was very sweet! The you hop on the safari jeep and the guide takes you to the beautiful safari. He was spotting the animals immediately and always showed us when something was around. Then you finish with very good lunch at the restaurant and get dropped back to your hotel. Definitely worth the money, you pay the price and you have no other expenses, everything is taken care of. 100% recommend 🤩”
