The best bites in the village of Nuga Gama

Sri Lanka's only village in the city, Nuga Gama has launched a brand new bite's menu, with eight signature dishes, infused with tradition and innovation, so one's village experience can be even the more authentic.

'Bites' is a typically Sri Lankan conception, used to describe spicy snacky foods that go well with drinks. So, as you stroll down the narrow gravel path past the herb bushes swaying on either side, across the small paddy patches with the friendly scarecrow, pass the little village kade shop and across the lush vegetable gardens, making way under the shady branches of the imperial Nuga Tree, to sit down and enjoy a pep up drink, one now has an array of delicious bites to accompany their experience.

As one loses sight of the fact that they are in reality in the heart of the city, this interesting range of traditional Sri Lankan village bites made with the inventive insight of Chef Sujith will certainly hit the spot. The fried fresh water fish and fried kumbalawa will appeal to seafood lovers who appreciate a Sri Lankan crunch in their bites while the boiled manioc will give a unique yam experience and the fried manioc and ash plantain chips may leave one discontent with normal French fries thereafter.

The clay pot roasted chicken imbues the flavours of slow clay pot cooking used in authentic village cooking.

The boiled Kiri Cadju and Umbalakada Wadey made for the perfect side dish while sipping on an afternoon or evening drink and the isso bedum with spicy curry sauce provides a wholesome munchie, possibly found only in Sri Lanka. Nuga Gama situated in the rural nook of Cinnamon Grand offers an unparalleled experience, rooted in culture and tradition.

Enabling the luxury of a rural ambiance without leaving the capital, Nuga Gama offers the most authentic of Sri Lankan cuisine with a side dish of cultural entertainment, local hand crafts and genuine rural hospitality.
