Located at the Atrium building on Balapokuna Road in Colombo 05, MOB is set to take on Colombo’s gourmands.

Mass of Bees Restaurant or MOB as it is popularly known intends to stand out both as a result of its cuisine and its ‘one of a kind’ theme.
A A Lakshman Silva, Mrs. Priyanthi Abeyweera, and business magnate Dasun Wickramarathna, conceptualized the idea of the restaurant based on the history of Negombo.
” The Sinhala name for Negombo being Mīgomuva, meaning ‘mass of bees’: Negombo being thus named owing to the swarm of bees that settled on the first Portuguese boat that was put ashore in Negombo. Based on this idea we decided to bring the history of Negombo into the heart of Colombo, which has led to the creation of “Mass of Bees” or MOB, under the ETM Leisure banner”, said Lakshman Silva.
