Rice and Curry

Discover Rice and Curry, a classic Sri Lankan dish that combines rice with a variety of curries, such as chicken, fish or vegetable curry. Sri Lankans eat it every day and often several times a day. These curries are often made with local ingredients like coconut, chili, turmeric and cumin, to create rich, spicy flavors. Accompanied by fresh vegetables and condiments such as coconut sambol and pickles, Rice and Curry offers an authentic and delicious dining experience of Sri Lankan cuisine.



Sambol

No authentic Sri Lankan meal would be complete without a touch of Sambol. This traditional condiment is an explosion of flavors, from the heat of chili peppers to the captivating aroma of fresh coconut. Whether it's Coconut Sambol, Tomato Sambol or Fish Sambol, each variation adds a unique dimension to your meal. You will even be able to eat it for breakfast with bread…

Pol Rotti or Coconut Roti

Coconut Roti, a delicacy of Sri Lankan cuisine, stands out for its simplicity and rich taste.

Ideal to accompany various dishes or simply enjoyed on its own, Coconut Roti is often enjoyed at breakfast for its nourishing and tasty side, adding an authentic note to each meal.

Appa, a light and crispy crepe, is prepared with rice flour and coconut milk, offering a delicate texture and subtle taste. The Hopper, on the other hand, is a crispy bowl-shaped wonder, ideal for hosting a topping of your choice – from curried eggs to spicy chutneys. We mainly eat them for breakfast.
