Let’s explore what makes our Lankan Feast so irresistible and why it’s the perfect choice for your next event.

What’s on the Menu?

Starters:

We kick off the feast with two mouth-watering starters, offering a perfect introduction to Sri Lankan flavours:

  • Sri Lankan Rolls (ve) – Crispy delights filled with spiced potato and seasonal vegetables, wrapped in delicate pancakes and coated with crunchy Panko breadcrumbs. Each bite delivers a delightful mix of textures and spice, making this a favourite for vegetarians and omnivores alike.
  • Fish Cutlets – For seafood lovers, these cutlets combine smoked tuna, spiced potato, nigella seeds, and fresh herbs. Lightly fried for a crisp exterior, they offer a wonderfully fragrant and satisfying start to the meal.

Mains:

Our selection of three sumptuous mains brings the heart of Sri Lankan cooking to life, with rich, layered flavours and comforting dishes:

  • Roasted Chicken Curry (gf) – Tender chicken thighs marinated in traditional Sri Lankan spices, cooked to perfection in a creamy coconut curry sauce. This medium-spiced dish is full of flavour, with the succulent chicken and rich sauce perfect when paired with rice.
  • Curried Jackfruit (ve, gf) – Green baby jackfruit chunks marinated in a medium spice blend create a plant-based curry that’s hearty and delicious. The jackfruit absorbs the flavours of the spices beautifully, offering a satisfying and meaty texture that vegans and non-vegans will love.
  • Coconut Dal (ve, gf) – A comforting classic, this dal is made from red lentils cooked with creamy coconut milk, turmeric, and spices. Mild and smooth, it pairs perfectly with rice and is a staple of Sri Lankan cuisine.
Salads:

To complement the rich and spicy mains, we’ve chosen two refreshing salads that provide a burst of freshness:

  • Papaya Salad with Green Onion, Tomato, and Lemon Dressing (ve, gf) – This vibrant salad combines sweet papaya with a zesty lemon dressing, fresh green onions, and ripe tomatoes, cutting through the richness of the curries with a refreshing contrast.
  • Coconut Sambol (ve, gf) – A quintessential Sri Lankan chutney made from freshly grated coconut, mixed with chilli and lemon. It adds a bright, tangy kick to the meal, enhancing the flavours of every dish on your plate.
Desserts:

Finish your Lankan Feast on a sweet note with two traditional Sri Lankan-inspired desserts:

  • Watalappan (v, gf) – This spiced coconut milk custard is infused with cinnamon, nutmeg, and jaggery, resulting in a creamy, indulgent dessert that’s packed with warm, comforting flavours.
  • Chilli Caramel Grilled Pineapple (v, gf) – A tropical dessert with a twist, this dish features grilled pineapple, caramelised to perfection and served with a spiced caramel sauce. The hint of chilli adds a subtle heat, making it a unique and unforgettable end to the meal.

Why is it so Tasty?

Sri Lankan cuisine is known for its complex layers of flavour, balancing sweet, spicy, tangy, and savoury elements in every dish. The use of freshly ground spices like cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and fenugreek, combined with aromatic ingredients like curry leaves, coconut, and lemongrass, creates a flavour profile that’s both rich and deeply satisfying.

Our Lankan Feast uses only the freshest ingredients, with dishes slow-cooked to allow the spices to fully develop. The result is a harmonious blend of creamy curries, crisp salads, and crispy starters that cater to a wide range of tastes, from mild and comforting to bold and spicy.

 

Perfect for Any Occasion:

The Lankan Feast is perfect for a variety of events, whether you’re celebrating a birthday, hosting a corporate event, organising a wedding, or simply gathering friends and family for a special meal. With its sharing-style format, it encourages communal dining and conversation, making it ideal for both intimate gatherings and larger celebrations.

For those looking to impress their guests with something different, the Lankan Feast offers an exciting and delicious alternative to standard catering. It’s perfect for adventurous eaters, fans of world cuisine, and anyone who enjoys bold, flavour-packed dishes.
