Allergy notes

Some of our dishes contain egg (kottu, egg masala, watalappan), dairy (yogurt sambal), fish (maasi sambal is made with dried Maldives fish) and nuts (green pea cashew curry). If anyone has an allergy, tell us when you order and we will tell you what to avoid.

How a Sri Lankan dinner is served

At home, dinner goes in the middle of the table: one rice or bread, two or three curries, something dry and fried, and a sambol. Everyone takes a little of each and mixes it on their own plate. Many people eat with their right hand, working the curry into the rice with their fingertips, but a spoon and fork are just as normal. Order the same way: one base, a couple of sides, something crisp. Our guide on how to eat rice and curry goes further.

Heat at a glance

• Gentle: Roast Bread ($13) with egg-milk curry; butter chicken (call or text to order).
• Adjustable: Kottu Roti ($13), cooked to the heat level you ask for.
• Hot: Chicken Devil ($12.99), Chilli Chicken ($14.99), Boneless Mutton Devil ($14.99).

Planning around a weekend kitchen

We cook on weekends, so dinner from us is a Saturday or Sunday plan. Plenty of families order a little extra and eat it again on Monday. Biryani, curries and devils reheat well the next day. Kottu is best on the day it is chopped, so order only what you will eat that night.

Dinner with guests coming over

Move the food from containers into your own serving bowls and warm them in a low oven. Put a bowl of plain rice next to the biryani for anyone who wants something less spiced. Vattalappam ($15) goes in the fridge until dessert, since it is served chilled. Set out a jug of water and a Mango Lassi ($6) or two for the spice.

Biryani night or rice and curry night?

The two feel different at the table. Biryani is one rich dish where the rice and meat are already cooked together, so it suits a celebration or a night when nobody wants to think. Rice and curry is a spread of separate dishes that people combine as they like, which suits a slower family dinner with lots of conversation. If you cannot decide, a ghee rice combo for a larger group sits between the two.
