There are still some spaces left! Book yours today! ❤️

🌴🥥🌶️ One of the dishes we’ll be serving at our Sri Lankan Curry Night is Cheese Kottu — one of Sri Lanka’s most loved street food dishes 🍛✨

If you’ve ever wandered through Sri Lanka in the evening, you’ll probably recognise the sound before you see it — roti rhythmically chopped on a hot griddle while vegetables and fragrant spices sizzle away 🔥🫓

Our recipes and flavours are inspired by our time travelling through Sri Lanka, learning just how vibrant, comforting and flavour-packed Sri Lankan food can be ❤️

Come along to our Sri Lankan Curry Night at The Ark Cafe - Newent and try it for yourself ✨
