I had an amazing experience with Lakarcade's gem and jewelry department. They designed a custom 2-carat padparadscha sapphire ring for me with diamonds set in rose gold and it's stunning. They were so helpful and professional throughout the process and they offered reasonable pricing that worked within my budget. They even presented the finished ring in a beautiful wooden and brass box that is an artistic piece in and of itself. Highly recommend!

Excellent. Very wide range of Sri Lankan handicrafts
This is one of the few Lakarcade outlets in Colombo, this place is located just two doors away from Hilton Residences. It has a varieties of souvenir, traditional handicraft, tea and gem stones jewellery. For tourist and visitors, this place is very convenient for last minute shopping for gift ans souvenir for friends or self as it closes at 10pm. Price wise, it is quite reasonable.
'Lankarcade' is a unique gift store. Massive range of selection for affordable prices. More than everything, the excellent staff, who are friendly, caring, courteous & helpful. Our very first visit to Lakarcade on a Sunday ( we never expected to buy our gifts, a corporate gift specially on that Sunday but we just visited Lakarcade) was very much pleasant and successgul. Lakarcade was the only gift store that was opened on Sunday for our convenience. All the best to Team Lakarcade. Cheers
A very big souvenir shop with all Sri Lankan items inside. It's basically a one stop shop to buy anything local. Parking is ample too.
An upgrade to laksala. Better quality better organized. Will go again. Have some good wooden handicraft but they have everything for tourists.
Just a short visit lasted for over two hours of browsing and adding more to the shopping list. The best shopping experience for any local or tourist in pursuit of traditional and non traditional Sri Lankan arts and craft. Huge space creates a non cloister phobic environment. Starting from the security personnel who are helpful in finding a parking spot, the staff are accommodating, friendly and helpful. Never over pushy as many curious shops in the City heavily focused on commissions. The staff depict traditional Sri Lankan warmth and hospitality matching the concept set in a typical local atmosphere. We were tired and refreshed ourselves at the Barista within the building. Hope they serve more traditional treats that is Sri Lankan. LakArcade caters to an ever increasing market of Novelty Gift and souvenir category that is a need for any developing country seeking enhanced tourist arrivals.
Very interesting find in the heart of Colombo and probably the largest of it's kind in the city - comparable with Laksala at Thunmulla. However Lakarcade seems to stock more contemporary and novel pieces than Laksala. It's hard to imagine that a visitor to SL will go empty handed from this place. A good option to buy local faux-antique and heritage pieces for home decor in Colombo for locals as well Price is a 15-30% premium if you buy directly from the artisans but definitely not a rip-off. You maybe able to negotiate a discount for larger value pieces
