Nestled amidst the Rajagiriya and Ethul Kotte junctions, "The Sanctuarii" beckons with its jungle-themed allure and captivating architecture. Recently, I had the pleasure of dining there with my family, and the experience was nothing short of delightful.
Stepping into the restaurant, we were immediately drawn to its cool ambiance, which perfectly complemented the jungle motif. Our culinary journey began with the Tom Yum soup, a delightful fusion of tangy flavors and abundant seafood—an excellent prelude to the feast that followed.
As starters, we indulged in the "Spicy Crispy Chicken," paired with a tantalizing dipping sauce that set the tone for the evening. For mains, the "Mutton Biriyani," adorned with generous portions of tender mutton, and the flavorsome "Singapore Noodles" and "Malacca Rice" left us thoroughly satisfied.
The "Spicy Tuna Sandwich" proved to be a pleasant surprise, boasting ample portions and a burst of flavors. To accompany our meal, we savored Mango and Watermelon mocktails, which elevated our dining experience to new heights with their refreshing allure.
What truly impressed me was the attention to detail evident in each dish—the flavors were distinct and true to their titles. Furthermore, the prices were reasonable considering the quality and quantity of the food, as well as the inviting ambiance.
Kudos to the friendly staff who ensured prompt service, enhancing our overall dining experience. Conveniently located in the 'Beverly Street' building, ample parking facilities added to the convenience of our visit.
In conclusion, dining at "The Sanctuarii" was a memorable experience that surpassed expectations. From the delectable cuisine to the charming ambiance and impeccable service, it's a culinary sanctuary worth revisiting.

I was a frequent diner at The Sanctuarii back when it was called Cafe Beverly and I was excited to see how it held up now.
We ordered the chicken Alfredo pasta that came with two pieces of garlic bread, bang bang sticky chicken and the chicken fried rice.
The food was fantastic. It was so well done and incredibly flavorful. Absolutely no complaints about the food whatsoever.
The interior has changed significantly from what it used to be an honestly it’s a super refreshing change. It looks brighter and cozier during the day. I loved the decor.
The place was a little loud with the music on top of the screaming children but it is a family friendly place so I can’t exactly say anything about that.

I recommend reservations for this place because it was quite crowded even on a weekday night. I can give 5 stars for the ambience and the decor although lighting can be little bit more dimmed on the main floor.
There are many diverse options for food. We ordered Mango Lassi, Vanilla Milkshake and Chocolate Milkshake as drinks. Mango Lassi had the fresh Mango taste which we appreciated. All drinks were not too sweet (even the milkshakes) and we loved them.
We ordered 2 chicken burgers; the Southern Fried Burger and Big time Burger. They come with potato fries and salad. I found the Southern Fried Burger to be little dry for my liking. So the Big time Burger which had a half done egg was more to my liking. Every bite was delicious.
We also tried the Holy Basil Chicken and felt the Basil taste was not accentuated enough. Pad Thai on the other hand was good but I personally would have liked it to be little bit more spicier. All portions are huge and very filling.
The service I feel can be improved more. As we walked in there was no one at the entrance to greet us or show us to the table. It took a while for someone to come and even then they looked a little confused about our reservation. Because the place is busy we have to make some effort to get the attention of waiting staff. Water was served at the very end when we asked for the bill. Although the staff was polite I feel the service can be improved to avoid the small shortcomings.
I look forward to returning here.

Lovely restaurant in the Beverly Street building.
Beautiful ambience, with lush greenery and aviary themed decor. Unique pictures and ornaments giving it a vibrant look. Plants and orchids hanging down give a jungle like feel which perfectly fits in with its name.
Wide range of food and drinks available. Food was delicious! Loved the sea bass fillet.

Definitely a must visit.
