After eight years, Hotal Colombo is wrapping up and closing its doors on Elgin Street at the end of July. To bid farewell, the everyday Sri Lankan restaurant is hosting extended celebrations until July 31, 2026, featuring a “Greatest Hits” menu and a series of special collaborations that highlight its most beloved dishes and culinary influences.

The farewell menu showcases Chef Gisela "Gizzy" Alesbrook’s signature karis, kothus, and other Sri Lankan classics that have defined the restaurant since 2018. The final weeks of the celebration will also see visiting chefs take over the kitchen for collaborative dinners, including Chef ArChan Chan of Peng Leng Jeng and Ho Lee Fook on June 17, presenting Sri Lankan-style Black Pepper Mud Crab and steamed Alaskan king crab, followed by a MICHELIN-starred collaboration with Chef Palash Mitra of New Punjab Club on June 24, offering a tribute to Sri Lankan spices priced at HK$448 per guest.

A special collaboration with Messina is also available this June, featuring the “Gettin’ Gizzy With It” kaffir lime leaf yoghurt gelato, served at Hotal Colombo and Messina Pottinger and Peak locations.

Opened as part of Black Sheep Restaurants’ early portfolio, Hotal Colombo has been known for its vibrant take on Sri Lankan cuisine and warm hospitality. While the restaurant will close, the group confirmed that Chef Gizzy and her team will continue with new roles within Black Sheep Restaurants.
