About us

Sri Lanka, being a small tropical island located in the Indian ocean, traditional cuisine is so rich in flavours. Rice and curry is the national dish of Sri Lanka, so it is the most popular meal among Sri Lankans. Spices are the key ingredient in any Sri Lankan kitchen. The most popular spices are chilli powder, turmeric, mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds, cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves. Curries are usually prepared with one of the two curry blends: roasted or black curry powder (for meat and fish) and raw curry powder (vegetables and lentils). In some form or another, coconut is a dominant ingredient in cooking.

Rice and curry is not all Sri Lankan cuisine have to offer. There are various kinds of many more flavourful dishes available. Lamprais, Watti rice, String Hoppers, Roti, Sea Food and Devils are very popular as well as Sri Lankan flavoursome street foods play a vital role in the country's food culture. Kottu, Hopper and Dal vada are favourites.
