Embark on a traditional culinary journey
with techniques passed down from our ancestors
Authentic Sri Lankan Cuisine
Sri Lankan spices, herbs and fresh produce create bold flavours that sing in traditional clay pots, bubbling on the stove. From authentic to fusion cuisine, we take your taste buds on a culinary journey of Sri Lanka! All meals are freshly-prepared at the campsite by our executive chef using handpicked ingredients and regional culinary techniques – you too could try your hand at cooking like a Sri Lankan alongside our chef!
Fresh, spicy and creamy have always been our favourite adjectives when it comes to food, and, to this day, cuisine at Mahoora has been known for just that.
