Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Decided to have Chinese tonight and ordered belly pork and chilies rice beef in black bean sauce and battered mushrooms. I did ask the waiter if the beef would be soft Chinese style because beef tend to be tough in Sri Lanka. He reassure me that the beef was from Australia and that it would be cooked to perfection. Unfortunately, my beef was on the tough side and also not thinly cut as it should be in Chinese cuisine. Very disappointed. The belly of pork was good when it was hot, but because Chinese food should be served hot and it’s not kept hot on the table the taste goes very quickly. Very disappointed as it shows that they do not know how to cook Chinese food. Did mention it to the staff who said they will convey this to the chef. Will not be going there again..

I had an incredible dining experience at Island Spice in Monarch Imperial, thanks to the amazing food and service provided by Mr. Mirshad. The food was absolutely delicious, with every dish bursting with authentic sri lankan flavors and spices. The service was equally impressive - Mr. Mirshad was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure that we had a great dining experience. Overall, I highly recommend Island Spice at Monarch Imperial and especially Mr. Mirshad for anyone looking for a fantastic meal and service.

Visited the Chinese restaurant at this facility as I was celebrating my birthday.the choice and taste of food was very good but a special mention that the service provided was excellent. The young lady attending to us Ms. Deshani was extremely polite and helpful, one of the best restaurant service I have received anywhere from Australia to Argentina. Great work. Keep it up.

Yesterday had an extremely disappointing experience with the customer service at Grand Monarch
From the beginning, the service was slow, unhelpful, rude specifically the guy who did the customer service for us he says he is working almost 13 years. Working long time to same company means he is nit own the company but he is very bad with customer service don’t want to give better service. I reached out to Mr Umesh the Manager in charge what led to the interaction,resolve an issue with my order, get assistance with the product that we oder Thandori chicken and was met with long wait times almost one hour 15 mins get that order.The manager in charge Mr Umesh unprofessional behavior, lack of knowledge, with out no reason
He doesn’t want to resolve the situation, and screaming us.
This experience has left me frustrated and unwilling to recommend Grand Monarch to others. Customer service is a critical part of any business, and in this case, it was severely lacking.
I hope Grand Monarch will take this feedback seriously and work to improve their customer service.

Tried the Japanese restaurant at monarch imperial. It was terrible and absolutely no value for money. The sushi rolls were filled with rice(and not even the proper sushi rice) and huge pieces of cucumber and the size of the tuna included was so small.. flavours were not authentic, and probably the worst Japanese restaurant I have tried in Sri Lanka.. the prices were high and the quality of food was bad.. chicken teriyaki and chicken karaage was okay - but absolutely small portions for the price. Don’t mind high prices if the QUALITY was good.. Only thing we enjoyed was the seafood fried rice but that too extremely small portion..
not recommended & will not be returning…

My family loves to go to Grand Monarch from time to time as they always offer a superior service every time.
I wanted to compliment a recent incident (01st February 2020 at around 8:30pm) of the service they provide to all their customers.
My whole family loves their pastry shop and since it was closed at the time we got there, I requested the Restaurant Manager on that day whether it was possible to get a cake since it was my wife who requested to have this cake. She loves all their pastry items. He promptly made the order and before we left after a satisfying meal at the restaurant we were delivered with that cake my wife desperately wanted. You will not get this kind of treatment anywhere in Colombo!
That is for me is service Par Excellence!!!
Thank you and hope to see you on all our important dates and occasions!

Monarch Imperial is one of the newest establishments to hit Colombo's major star class hotels. It's located along the Jayawardenapura hospital road, occupying a massive land. It has an elegant look and feel with spacious conference halls. There's also a few restaurants and pubs that serves a range of multicultural cuisine. Staff is efficient and helpful. Their huge car park can accommodate a large number of vehicles without much of a hassle. In summary, it's well on par with all prominent hotels in the city with a definite possibility of going head to head.

I had my homecoming in Grand Monarch ballroom on October 22nd and it’s the best decision I have taken in my life. The food was absolutely amazing. The service was remarkable and friendly. From the beginning of planing our event Mr. Gopi helped us tremendously. Actually without him I couldn’t plan the whole event. His ideas and his selections on the buffet worked out very well as he said from the beginning to keep trust on him. I trusted him and it didn’t disappoint me at all. Grand monarch is a place with value for money and a great place to celebrate your special days .
Special thanks to Mr.Gopi and I surely recommend him to anyone without any hesitations .

This restaurant is situated in the 3rd floor of the Grand Monach. From the very first step into Dynasty we felt special, Mansoor met us at the door and looked after us throughout our meal. Like other reviews have mentioned, the food is exquisite, and served to your plate. We opted for Chinese and everything was flavoursome and well presented. The restaurant boasts 2 outdoor seating areas as well as the AC indoor restaurant. The kitchen is spotless (you can see some of what goes on from the outside area).
Restrooms are very clean too. It's a Must Try restaurant for everyone. We will be back. Thank you Mansoor for looking after us so well.

The place is good and food is good but they allow smoking inside the premises and ruin the atmosphere. The terrace is also part of the Hotel but full of smokers and when complained offer private rooms inside. However, there is no dedicated smoking area and hundreds and hundreds of visitors mainly families with kids suffer due to smoking allowed within the premises. Whilst it is prohibited smoking in Public areas the law is violated.

This is one preferred place for office get together. There is plenty of different options to chose from. Indian, Chinese, Thai etc. Portion sizes are great and good value for money. My foreign friends loved the food and enjoyed the roof top terrace.
