Why it matters
Why Agra, Sri Lanka Foundation Mawatha is worth your time
Travellers who eat no meat often struggle to find North Indian cooking in Colombo, where Tamil and Sinhalese food dominate. Agra gives them a named option that two things point to: its cuisine and its vegan-friendly label.
The label is a guide's description, not a certification, so use it as a prompt to ask questions rather than as a promise. If the staff are helpful and the dishes suit your diet, you have an easy dinner within reach of the city's main sights. If not, Colombo has other vegetarian restaurants listed on this site.

How to experience it
The vegan guide we opened lists Agra as a North Indian restaurant that is vegetarian and vegan-friendly. It gives no menu for Agra, so we cannot tell you what to order.
When you phone or arrive, say what you eat. Vegetarians should find North Indian staples such as dal and vegetable curries, but that is our expectation of the cuisine rather than something the guide states, so ask. Vegans must ask about ghee, cream, curd and paneer, since North Indian cooking uses all four widely.
The address on Sri Lanka Foundation Mawatha puts it in the Colombo 7 area, a short taxi ride from the museum and the parks. Plan the meal for after sightseeing, not before, and allow time to eat slowly in the afternoon heat.
