Grand Oriental Hotel offers family theme nights

As Colombo reaps the rich dividends of peace, the Grand Oriental Hotel (GOH) hopes to see the entire family entertained at its unique theme styled nights GOH Chairman Rohan Jayasinghe says.

At the Harbour Room, with its unique wide angled view of the harbour below, a sumptuous spread awaits with International Buffet for lunch from Monday to Friday and on Saturdays and Sundays, an A'la carte lunch is available.

The Harbour Room is the place to be during the weekend for the family. Thursday is the Sri Lankan Night with all time Sri Lankan favourites such as hoppers and pittu hot and spicy cooked just like home. Executive Chef Ruwan Vithana invites the whole family for a traditional dinner and oriental music to keep the entire family serenaded especially when you don't have the time to turn them out at home.

On Fridays and Saturdays, as the sun sets over the Harbour Room, the International Buffet with a fine array of dishes awaits the family, PR Executive Ishanki Gunawardene says.

With Gamani Mendis on the electric organ, the buffet offers the best value for money, making it just the place to be during the weekend, adds Jayasinghe who together with the GOH Board of Directors and the staff has introduced a new and dynamic dimension to the hotel.

On Sundays, the Harbour Room comes alive with the Mixed Grill Night featuring a mix of the best for the family while Sam the Man provides excellent entertainment.

For the busy executives on the go from the GOH neighbourhood, the Sri Lankan buffet available makes it one of the best in the area and on Fridays and Saturdays, the Sri Lankan Restaurant hosts a lively Paduru Party with oriental music and spicy Sri Lankan cuisine.

A-la-carte menu is available at the Sri Lankan Restaurant on Sunday for lunch and dinner.
