The Chefs come from the nearby villages boasting a completely different set of skills here at Dalmanuta. They believe in natural ingredients and traditional Sri Lankan food filled with regional flavors and packed with nutrition. From farm grown turmeric to green chilies plucked from the gardens, the team at Dalmanuta will carefully prepare your meals on a “dara lipa”, a hearth made of clay, usually found in the kitchen of traditional houses.
A typical morning at Dalmanuta consists of a hot cup of pure Ceylon tea followed by a hearty breakfast consisting of sweet potatoes, grated coconut and onion relish and even some string hoppers and pittu, a few Sri Lankan favorites. Wash it down with some Iramusu tea, known to aid in blood purification and the cooling of your body.
A warm cup of Ceylon tea, add in some freshly cut ginger and you have a refreshing beverage served in the midst of the lush green paddy fields. For those warm days, quench your thirst with some fresh coconut water or king coconut , indigenous to this wonderful island.
