Start your tour at The Galle Face Green street food carts, savoring iconic Isso wadei, a fried lentil mixture topped with deep-fried shrimp. Visit a 150-year-old shop near the port for a strong, sugary, and milky tea, then pass by the old town hall and red mosque in central Pettah to try the island's first Bombay sweet. Explore a street corner behind Sri Lanka's high courts, dedicated to authentic street food for over 200 years. Conclude your tour by tuk tuk to an old British mason mansion turned hotel, home to a pub that served alcoholic concoctions for Her Majesty's service during WW2.
