Rice and Curry Plate

A heaped mound of rice surrounded by rotating curries — dhal, a dry vegetable preparation, coconut sambol, and a gravy — the definitive Sri Lankan lunch and the reason most regulars come

String Hoppers

Delicate rice flour noodle discs served with coconut milk gravy and dhal — light, slightly chewy, and best eaten in a stack soaked through with curry

Pol Sambol

Fresh-scraped coconut ground with dried chilies, lime, and onion — fiery, bright, and essential as a condiment to anything on the plate

Dhal Curry

Slow-cooked red lentils tempered with mustard seed and curry leaf — silky and deeply spiced, the workhorse of every plate
