Our story
About Us
Heritage recipes, island spices and the warmth of Sri Lankan hospitality.
Our story
Rooted in Tradition,
Served with Heart
ILUK began with a simple promise: to cook the food we grew up with, exactly the way our grandmothers did — unhurried, generous and full of character. Our curry powders are roasted in small batches, coconuts are scraped by hand and every sambol is pounded to order.
Today our dining room on Galle Road welcomes families, friends and travellers who want to taste the real Sri Lanka — from Jaffna crab curry to hoppers hot off the pan — in a setting that feels like coming home.

What Our Guests Say
The rice and curry tasted exactly like my grandmother’s Sunday lunch. Five curries, each one perfect — and the kottu is the best in Colombo.
Beautiful interiors, attentive staff and that Jaffna crab curry… we have already booked our next visit with the whole family.
Our first meal in Sri Lanka and it set the bar high. Ask for the egg hoppers and the watalappan — unforgettable.
Warm, welcoming and genuinely authentic. The devilled prawns and a fresh mojito on a Friday night is perfection.
