By the Editorial Team · Sunday, September 6, 2026

Adikted, a new restaurant by the founders of Street Burger, has opened its first outlet in Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte, specializing in crispy chicken burgers and gourmet street food with a focus on affordability and fresh ingredients. Operating as a franchise with dine-in, takeaway, and delivery via UberEats, Adikted aims to provide a scalable model for casual yet elevated dining across Colombo.

A new entrant in Colombo’s culinary landscape, Adikted, has opened its flagship outlet at 262 Nawala Road, Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte, offering an innovative twist on street food with a focus on bold flavors and affordability. The restaurant launched in 2024 following several years of development and refinement of its concept.

Adikted’s menu centers on crispy chicken burgers and submarines, complemented by vegetarian options and sides such as loaded fries and nuggets. The establishment features an extensive dining area and operates with extended hours to accommodate a diverse range of customers. Beverages are also available to complement the meals.

The venture is led by the founders of Street Burger, a well-established local food brand that first gained attention in 2016 with a popular food truck on Marine Drive before expanding into permanent locations. Street Burger built a reputation for distinctive gourmet burgers infused with Sri Lankan spices and flavors, attracting a loyal customer base across Colombo.

Like its predecessor, Adikted is designed with scalability in mind and today functions as a franchise model. Co-founder Tharique Shibly described the vision behind the new brand as an effort to deliver fresh, gourmet-style burgers that combine speed and affordability without sacrificing quality. “Adikted began as an idea to offer fresh gourmet burgers at affordable pricing and is a concept that has been many years in the making,” he said.

Co-founder Masoon Samoon emphasized the emphasis on fresh, daily-sourced ingredients and made-to-order preparation aimed at food enthusiasts who appreciate elevated yet casual dining. “With fresh ingredients that are sourced daily and with every item made to order, food lovers in Colombo can expect a casual but elevated dining experience. Adikted is built for the discerning foodie who is quick to recognize good food,” he added.

In addition to dine-in services, Adikted offers takeaway and delivery options exclusively through the UberEats platform. Further details about the restaurant and its menu are available on Adikted’s official website.
