It was nothing special for me. Just an old hospital turned into local shops, restaurant and bar. Not worth taking time if you have a short stay in Colombo.

Not sure why this place is still listed to be visited, nothing to see at all, no shops and little traffic, immediately regretted going there.

It has some good eating options including the Ministry of Crab which is quite expensive apart from that not much there if you want to do some shopping get a tuk tuk and go to the markets about 1/2 a k
