Kolamba x DabbaDrop - A Sri Lankan Feast
4 / 6 Jun
We’re thrilled to bring you a very special collaboration with the brilliant team at Kolamba, one of London’s most beloved modern Sri Lankan restaurants.
Together, we’ve created a bold, comforting menu rooted in the island’s rich home-cooking traditions — a celebration of depth, warmth, and spice.
Ala Thel Dala (Fried New Potatoes with Caramelised Onion)
Golden potatoes tossed with curry leaves, mustard seed, cardamom and just the right heat from green chillies and red flecks. Smoky, savoury, and satisfyingly rich.
Jackfruit Curry
Young green jackfruit slow-cooked in coconut milk with curry leaves, cinnamon, mustard seed and a soft kiss of lime. Finished with crispy onions for crunch and depth.
Parippu (Tempered Dal)
A creamy red lentil dhal simmered with coconut milk, garlic, and turmeric, finished with a golden onion temper and a touch of warmth from whole chillies.
🍚 Cardamom Rice
Fragrant steamed rice infused with whole cardamom pods — light, aromatic, and the perfect base to soak up every last spoonful.
We'll also have a Toasted Pol Sambol replacing our usual Ginger Jam - a dark, toasted coconut relish with mustard seed, curry leaf, lime and black pepper — smoky, nutty, and packed with umami - don't forget to add as an extra!
We’re so proud to partner with Kolamba to share these dishes with you — recipes that speak of home kitchens, shared tables, and the kind of cooking that’s passed down with care. Whether you’re discovering Sri Lankan flavours for the first time or diving back into something familiar, we hope this menu brings joy, comfort, and a little fire to your week.
