Welcome to Sigiri Sri Lanka Restaurant

You are about to taste a vast selection of authentic Sri Lankan cuisine, the way it’s meant to be cooked with a variety of herbs
and spices unique to Sri Lanka.


Sigiri Sri Lanka Restaurant is owned by Tanya DeSilva
and Mala Rajapakse. Two long time friends whose fondness
for preparing Sri Lankan cuisine blossomed into the idea
of opening up the restaurant.

Sri Lankan food is inspired by several different ethnicities.
Quite a few periods of colonization are responsible
for the exotic cuisine, blending indigenous ingredients
and cooking techniques with influences from Indian,
Portuguese, Dutch, Malay and a host of other world
food traditions.

From the traditional Rice dishes, the staple food of Sri Lanka,
to other specialties such as the famous Hoppers
(bowl-shaped rice pancakes), Indi Appa, and Lamprais
(a dish of Dutch origin) comprising of rice cooked in a meat
stock and slowly baked in a banana leaf with a variety of meat
and vegetable sides. You can taste them all at Sigiri.
 

The creative capabilities of our chefs Sunil Perera and Vincent Dias have made our patrons return time and time again to enjoy our food.


Our goal is to offer the authentic taste of Sri Lankan food to
all our patrons. We aim to please, and we mean it when we say
“Sri Lankan food the way it’s meant to be.”
