Sri Lankan street food and comfort cooking, built around Kothu Parotta (flatbread torn and stir-fried on a hot griddle) and traditional curries.
The kitchen balances the cuisine's signature sweet, salty sour profile across a menu that stretches from spiced pittu layered with coconut and roasted flour to parippu vadai, crispy lentil fritters made fresh daily. Kothu Parotta in particular anchors the operation, paired with the kind of home-style curries served in clay bowls that define Sri Lankan household cooking. The pittu, steamed cylinder of rice flour, coconut curry leaves, traditionally unmoulded and served with spiced accompaniments, remains the calling card, a dish that captures what the kitchen calls the balance of comfort, culture unforgettable taste.
Try the kothu, pittu, parippu vadai.
