Ad always great food and service. The smoked duck breast and rimoulade were delicious and the lamb rump beautifully pink. Friendly and efficient service if a slightly long wait between starter and main but it was very busy. One of our favourite places to eat in St Leonards.

Another fantastic meal at Colombo. The food was delicious as usual, particularly the mushroom dish. We love the fact that you can ask for the heat to be spiced up as we like our food hot. Great temporary location too. We'll be back of course.
