I was able to have my pre flight breakfast at PRIMO and had a very pleasant and enjoyable experience. People there is very friendly and welcoming. Food quality is also very high. Sheshan was the person who prepare my food. I highly recommend this place to have your food at any time without any doubts.

Primo is next to the Pizza Hut in the airport and it’s so delicious. We got a lox bagel (with cream cheese and capers) and a BLT bagel. Both were really good and staff were super friendly.

Located in the departure area of Bandaranaike International Airport, we left our hotel early and didn’t have breakfast, so we decided to stop by this popular eatery. The pictures of their food looked inviting, so we ordered a 12" med sub divided into half and two cappuccinos. They prepared the subs fresh in plain view, much like Subway. The flavours in this sub were terrific, and I highly recommend it.
