“Always good!”

Flower Drum Restaurant

Aug 4, 2008

Flower drum restaurant has been around for a long time. Yet what is fascinating is that the quality of the food or the srevice has remained the same if not gets better with time.

Flower Drum is cozy and comfortable and serves up chinese dishes of every kind and every thing that you can think of. be it simple or grand Flower drum never dissapoints. FD does cater to the Srilankan palette, so you will never have another delicious chinese meal as this as it is different to any chinese you will have anywhere else in the world.

al lof the usual dishes are available plus fabulous seafood dishes that you can specify the level of spiciness.

the aroma is indescribable around and in the restaurant. you will not be dissapointed with any dish you choose off the menu. staples are prawn dishes, kang kung in garlic sauce, sweet and sour dishes and the fried rice.

The service, in true srilankan style is very hospitable and aiming to please is heir forte.

You will find the ingredients fresh and clean and it will be a memorable meal.

take away is also available as well as lunch time specials. try to sweet corn and crab soup!

Can't even get a late lunch with a beer anymore... what happened to our good old booze joint..? Cheap and cheerful, used to be the ideal place to meet-up with college mates.
