Welcome to Nelum Kole
Taste Of
Authentic
Sri Lankan
Established in 2001 by Mr. Krishantha Jayasinghe, Nelumkole stands proudly as Sri Lanka’s first-ever restaurant to introduce the unique concept of serving traditional rice and curry in a fully clay-built, old-fashioned village-style house.
At Nelumkole, we bring the true flavours and traditions of Sri Lanka to life. Every dish, every space, and every detail is designed to take you back.

Prepared using traditional clay pots, firewood methods, and homemade spices, our signature rice & curry offers the purest taste of Sri Lankan village cuisine.

Enjoy your meals inside a mud-clay hut with coconut-leaf roofing, antique décor, and an ambience that recreates the charm of ancient Sri Lankan homes.

Event Catering
We offer catering for events, gatherings, and corporate functions — with menus inspired by classic Sri Lankan flavours and served with village-style hospitality.
Step into the heart of Sri Lanka’s heritage. Experience the island’s most authentic rice & curry served inside a traditional clay-mud house, crafted with coconut leaf roofing and timeless village charm.
