Our fun informal foodie  group descend on Mays Table, a Thai food experience that is currently hot gossip in Colombo.  At the upstairs location in the Arcade Clock Tower, we get a very warm welcome,  despite this being our first visit . Seven of us sit around a  long table , I do really prefer round tables so  you can talk to everybody. The decor is classic Sri Lankan furniture in a stylish finish . The welcome drink is small but amazing and there are two free starting tasters .

Fantastic flavours.

They say they are different every night.

Our group has a golden rule , one person takes recommendations from all then makes the order decision . Additions can be made after 

we have had the main course. The order is placed and we will all share  a series of different dishes. It is a system that’s been used for two years . So we have five classic starters followed by five main courses . These include, crab curry , pineapple rice, spring rolls, noodles, satay banana flower, all great dishes / flavours .  

The staff are super quick and service can’t be faulted . We get to the desert with the  sticky rice and mangos . The jury is still out on this dish .

The restaurant permits BYO and we are all wine lovers , sharing our favourites and latest import . This is a very reasonably priced restaurant considering its great food quality and service . 

So whilst we briefly chat on our next night out as the food group  and where we go , all agree we will be coming back to Mays soon.
