About Chaiwala Colombo

With its inception in the beginning of 2021, Chaiwala Colombo gained phenomenal recognition as an inspiration with our story of turning adversity into victory. Our story of courage and perseverance were not only praised and shared by many people within the community, we were the posterchild of triumph over difficult times for media and celebrities alike. “Chaiwala Colombo” made a breakthrough launch in Sri Lanka by pioneering the introduction of the authentic Street food Chai Concept in Sri Lanka.

The many achievements behind Chaiwala Colombo are a group of five friends involved in different avenues of careers. From an Airline Pilot to business men. Our careers and interests may vary, but our passion for creating an ambitious and successful business as a truly Sri Lankan brand drove us to achieve the seemingly impossible. Omer, Shehan, Rishard, Imran, Roshan and Shamil are the driving force behind this extraordinary venture. Friendship and the recognition and the progressive combination of each other’s talents and abilities are the secret behind Chaiwala Colombo’s success.

The journey so far has not been easy. From the get-go we were faced with enormous challenges, especially with the Covid Pandemic continuously hindering our momentum. But with determination and resilience we have kept moving onward and upward and rapidly expanding globally with our first overseas branch opening in the UAE. With many more projects and expansions in the pipeline, sky is the limit for Chaiwala Colombo!
