Kolamba East Menu

Kolamba East is a Sri Lankan restaurant at 12 Blossom Street in Spitalfields. Its menu draws on the food of Colombo and family kitchens across the island, presenting those flavours through a modern London restaurant designed for sharing.

Curries, sambols and vegetable preparations bring together coconut, chilli, lime, roasted spice and fresh herbs. Hoppers, rotis and rice provide the essential accompaniments, carrying sauces and creating contrast between crisp edges, soft centres and richly seasoned dishes.

Larger meat and seafood plates give a table a substantial centrepiece, while the vegetable and pulse dishes have enough identity to build a complete vegetarian or vegan meal. Ordering across several sections is the best way to understand how the different condiments and textures interact.

The lively room and shared format make Kolamba East especially suitable for dinner with friends, though its precise cooking also rewards a smaller meal. It offers an accessible route into Sri Lankan food without reducing the cuisine’s depth or distinctive regional character.
