The country houses numerous vegetables, organic products, meats, and fish. You will also be able to taste Chinese, European, Indian, and Japanese cuisine in Colombo and other tourist destinations on the island. The distinctive curry dish in Sri Lankan cuisine, known as kiri bath, is created with coconut milk, chopped onion, green stew, and aromatic spices, including cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, saffron, and aromatic leaves.

If a dish is overly hot (spicy), ask for plain ground coconut; this will help to lessen the discomfort. Although you can always discover a wide variety of international cuisines in your hotel and high-end restaurants, the hallmark of a real Sri Lankan experience may be found in street restaurants that serve authentic Sri Lankan cuisine, and are frequented by locals. So the saying goes; when in Sri Lanka, eat like a Sri Lankan too, an experience only your taste buds will be able to recall and relate to.
