Kottu Roti

Shredded flatbread stir-fried on a flat iron with egg, vegetables, and your choice of protein — the rhythmic chopping sound is the restaurant's unofficial soundtrack

Rice and Curry

A full Sri Lankan plate: steamed rice ringed by small portions of fish or chicken curry, dhal, and two or three sambols that together form a more complex meal than the components suggest

String Hoppers

Delicate steamed rice-flour noodle discs, best eaten with coconut sambol and lentil dhal — light, slightly chewy, and the ideal vehicle for the condiments

Egg Hoppers

Bowl-shaped crispy rice crepe with a soft-cooked egg in the center — the lacy edges give way to a custardy interior, ideally eaten with pol sambol

Devilled Chicken

Wok-tossed chicken with capsicum, onion, and dried chilies in a tangy-spicy sauce — a Sri Lankan staple that leans hotter and more acidic than its South Indian cousins
