Sagara

Visit Sri Lanka by way of Sagara, where the island nation’s rich cultural diversity is on full display. Dishes here are delivered at once, so you’ll be nibbling on an appetizer of fish cakes, mas paan, and fritter-like dhal vade, while also tucking in to hearty entrées. It’s a veritable feast as you make your way through the likes of fluffy Basmati rice with piquant curries.This kitchen certainly offers many compelling dishes—especially the hoppers with chicken curry—but the pièce de résistance is lamprais, served on a platter and wrapped in a banana leaf. Unwrap to discover such aromatic treasures within as rice with cashews and a braised protein—including mutton. Typically reserved for special occasions, it makes for the ultimate present to the palate.
