Ayubowan – a culinary journey through the Silk Route
Sri Lankan cuisine 21st Century footprint in the UAE
Far from the usual steakhouse, pizza parlor, fast food and chef-endorsed restaurants, JLT’s cool scene restaurant is becoming increasingly popular and in demand. This time, Sri Lankan cuisine says ‘’Welcome” through Ayubowan (Ayubowan, means in Sinhalese “wishing you long life” and is the traditional greeting of welcome) is the trendiest addition to JLT and it’s certainly a welcome one with authentic Sri Lankan cuisine outlets sparsely available until now.
Dubai’s surprising vast gastronomic community welcomes the fact that Sri Lanka is making its presence known on the foodie horizon; Rice & Curry, hoppers, Kotthu roti, range of Sri Lankan curries, seafood specialties, devils, sambols and dhal – indeed all the staples of Sri Lanka. Dubai residents do not have to traverse many miles to satisfy their palate and cravings for ethnic Sri Lankan food as the Ayubowan food fix is now closer to home. The Restaurant fuses the delicious traditional recipes with new age cooking techniques, the specialties include main courses, appetizers, healthy salads, tropical juices and rich deserts etc.
Manori Amerasinghe, Directress says, “Ayubowan is an exciting venture for us and we would like to cater to a multi-cultural community by adding a new menu to tickle the palates of those following a known track and prepare themselves for the new flavor in town.”
