Restaurant in Colombo, Sri Lanka
Go in with low expectations, verify first.
Nana's is a Colombo venue with limited publicly available details on cuisine, pricing, and booking. It suits curious explorers happy to show up without a reservation, but it's a harder pick for group dinners or special occasions where confirmed logistics matter. Check our full Colombo restaurants guide for better-documented alternatives before committing.
Nana's is a Colombo address with limited publicly available data on pricing, cuisine type, and hours — which means booking requires direct contact and some tolerance for uncertainty. If you're an explorer willing to do a little groundwork, it can be worth the effort. If you need a fully bookable, well-documented dining experience, Colombo has better-documented alternatives to consider first.
With no published price range, cuisine classification, or contact details in the public record, Nana's sits in a category of Colombo dining spots that operate more by word-of-mouth than digital infrastructure. That's not automatically a problem — some of Sri Lanka's most interesting neighbourhood spots run this way , but it does mean you'll need to arrive with local intelligence or be prepared to show up and ask questions. For food and travel enthusiasts who seek depth over convenience, that kind of venue can deliver genuinely local experiences that polished hotel restaurants don't. For anyone planning a special occasion or a group booking, the lack of verifiable booking logistics makes it a harder recommendation without more on-the-ground confirmation.
Colombo's dining scene spans a wide range, from the globally recognised Ministry of Crab (Sri Lankan) to neighbourhood spots that serve the city's working population and local families. Nana's, based on its address in the WRHW+C2P area of Colombo, sits within that broader fabric. Whether it skews towards Sri Lankan home cooking, short-order café fare, or something more specific is not confirmed in available data.
For private dining or group bookings specifically, the absence of a seat count, a dedicated booking method, or a known contact number makes Nana's a difficult venue to plan around. If a private or semi-private group experience matters to your visit, venues like The Theva Cuisine in Kandy or the more documented entries in our full Colombo restaurants guide offer clearer paths to booking a group experience with confidence.
Booking difficulty is rated Easy, though that reflects the likely low demand for reservations rather than a polished booking system. Walk-in is probably your leading approach. No phone number or website is on record, so calling ahead is not a confirmed option. If you're building an itinerary around Colombo dining, use this as a flexible, exploratory stop rather than a fixed anchor.

What to weigh when choosing between Nana's and alternatives.
There is no published menu or cuisine classification for Nana's in Colombo, so dietary accommodation is impossible to confirm remotely. check the venue's official channels before visiting if restrictions matter to your group. If you need a restaurant with a known menu and transparent dietary options, Ministry of Crab or The Theva Cuisine are more reliable choices in the city.
Nana's is a Colombo address with almost no public-facing information: no listed phone, website, cuisine type, or hours. That means your first visit requires showing up or finding a local contact to verify it's open. If you're visiting Colombo for a short trip, this is not the venue to anchor your dining plans around without prior confirmation.
Group capacity at Nana's is not documented, and with no contact details available in the public record, coordinating a group booking in advance is difficult. For groups where a confirmed reservation matters, The Atlas or Cape Weligama offer clearer booking infrastructure and known capacity.
Ministry of Crab is the obvious benchmark for Sri Lankan seafood with a strong international reputation. COAST and The Atlas offer more polished dining experiences with accessible booking. For something outside Colombo, Cape Weligama and The Theva Cuisine in Kandy both provide well-documented menus and settings, making pre-trip planning far more straightforward.
Without confirmed pricing, cuisine type, or hours, Nana's carries too much uncertainty to recommend for a special occasion. A venue where you can't verify the format or make a reservation in advance adds unnecessary risk to a high-stakes meal. For a special occasion in Colombo, COAST or Ministry of Crab are safer, better-documented options.
There is no floor plan or seating configuration data available for Nana's, so bar seating can change. The venue's limited public profile suggests it is a smaller, informal spot — but that is not confirmed. Verify directly before planning around a specific seating preference. Check the venue's official channels for the latest details.
Nana's is likely low-key enough for solo visitors based on its Colombo neighbourhood context, but the absence of published hours and no website or phone number means you cannot confirm it is open before you arrive. For solo dining with more certainty, COAST or a restaurant with a bookable table via a known platform is a lower-risk choice.
Keep this venue in your Pearl passport, rate it after you visit, and track it alongside every other place you collect.
