Sticky Lamb Ribs.
Slow-cooked until tender, finished with a rich tamarind glaze and plenty of Jaffna spice for just the right amount of heat.
Things are about to get messy, but that's half the fun.

Sri Lankan cooking starts long before anything hits the pan.
For centuries, spices like cinnamon, cardamom, black pepper and cloves have shaped the way Sri Lankans cook, gathering flavours from traders, travellers and generations of home cooks along the way.
Today, they're still at the heart of almost everything we do in the kitchen.

A Sri Lankan table isn't complete without a curry or three.
From slow-cooked goat curry and village-style chicken to Amma's Dhal and roasted vegetable kiri hodi, these are the dishes that bring everyone to the table.

If you’re at Colombo Social and there are no Short Eats on the table, something’s wrong.
Short eats are the heart of the menu, small plates that pack serious flavour and set the tone for everything that follows.
Try them all on the new menu.

Curry Leaf Pavlova
Crack through the shell and there’s a colourful surprise inside, silky curry leaf custard, blueberry, mint and cream. Sweet, fragrant and perfectly balanced.
Australian–Sri Lankan fusion in one bite, the perfect end to your Colombo meal.

In the kitchen, Shaun’s mum and Chef Shashank work side by side, sharing the craft of the perfect hopper.
It’s in the way the batter is poured and swirled, the heat of the pan, the timing that turns it into those crisp edges and soft centre, the kind of knowledge passed down through generations, shaped by Sri Lankan kitchens and carried into every hopper that leaves the stove.
