OUR POLICY
In all our cooking, we stick to these principles:
There is a market garden at Rangala House and many of our vegetables, herbs and spices are home-grown. We have our own chickens providing free-range eggs. We also have two pure-bred Jersey milkers so the provenance of our dairy products is also assured.
We do not offer a conventional menu with a set number of limited options. Rather, we invite you to tell us what type of dishes you would like and we then tailor our cuisine as precisely as possible to your taste. Please tell us: would you like Sri Lankan cooking or international? Hot curries or mild? Any vegetarian or vegan requirements? Kosher or other special diets? Any particular favourite likes? Or dislikes?
We will always invite you to meet and talk to Nuwantha, our resident chef.
Here are a few examples of the dishes which have been firm favourites at Rangala House over the years:
The following are always available at BREAKFAST
If you would prefer a Sri Lankan breakfast, please tell us the day before. Hoppers with seenisambol, string hoppers, potato curry etc – all are available.
A highly recommended option is GotuKolu Kanda – a soup made with gotukolu – a local fresh green leaf (highly prized as a health food) with fresh ginger & garlic. It is delicious and is also a popular alternative at lunchtime.
A typical LUNCH might include:
