Sometimes life tests you in ways nobody sees.
Behind the smiles, food, and photos… there were sleepless nights, stress, pressure, sacrifices, and moments we honestly thought we would lose everything.
But dreams built with heart never die.
Ceylon 85 is reopening soon ❤️
Not just with a new menu…
But with a new beginning.
Every setback taught us something.
Every difficult day made us stronger.
And every person who supported us gave us a reason to keep fighting.
To our customers, friends, and everyone who stood beside us during the hard times — thank you from the bottom of our hearts ❤️
We are coming back with: 🍛 A brand new menu
🍻 Better vibes
🎶 Good music & atmosphere
🔥 Authentic flavours made with passion
This isn’t just a reopening.
This is proof that we never gave up.
We’ll keep you all updated very soon with opening dates, specials, and events.
With love,
Ceylon 85

💔 Temporary Closure Notice 💔

To our beautiful community,

This is one of the hardest messages we’ve had to write.

After giving everything we had — long days, sleepless nights, and pouring our hearts into every meal — we have made the difficult decision to temporarily close Ceylon 85 until further notice.

This journey has meant so much to us. Every customer who walked through our doors, shared a meal, supported our small business, left a kind review, or simply smiled at us — thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Sometimes life becomes overwhelming, and right now we need a little time to breathe, recover, and find our strength again.

This is not goodbye. We truly hope to return stronger, better, and with the same love and passion we always had for serving our community.

Please keep us in your thoughts during this difficult time.

With love and gratitude,

❤️ Team Ceylon 85
