Chef Rana from New Delhi is Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo’s very own expert in North Indian cuisine. He has won the hearts of Colombo diners with his bubbly personality and exceptional culinary skills. The buffet will present some delectable dishes infused with rich Indian and Sri Lankan spices all included in the wide variety of dishes available during this promotion. Both countries are known for its variety of vegetarian and meat dishes, North Indian’s popular regional dishes are recognisable for their distinctive tastes. Curries typically have thick, moderately spicy and creamy gravies. Dishes like Gosht Hyderabadi (spicy mutton curry), Lahore Lamb Biryani and Methi Macchi Tikka (salmon marinated in yoghurt, fenugreek leaves and aromatic spices) are favourites.
The region also produces a dazzling array of vegetarian dishes like Lasooni Tamatar Shorba (spiced tomato soup), Rajma Rasil (red kidney beans in spiced gravy), Dal Bukhara (black lentil curry), Pudina Paneer Pakora (cottage cheese fritters served with tomato or green mint sauce) and Anda Masala (Punjabi egg curry cooked in spices, onions and tomato gravy).
Just like India, Sri Lankan cuisine has its own unique tastes and spices. Renowned for our diverse spices, traders from around the world who came to Sri Lanka brought their native cuisines to the island, resulting in a rich diversity of cooking styles and techniques. The use of chillie is widely abundant in local curries and coconut milk is found in most Sri Lankan dishes, giving the cuisine its unique flavour.
Dishes like cashew curry, hot butter cuttlefish, devilled prawns, tempered chickpeas, brinjal moju, black mutton curry and Sri Lankan fried rice are just some of the many dishes Sri Lanka is famous for.
Enjoy a delicious array of North Indian and Sri Lankan dishes created to perfection for just Rs. 2,555. The buffet opens at 7 p.m. until 11 p.m. from 10 to 19 at The Dining Room. For reservations and inquiries contact 0112491930.
