The Restaurant Menu & Review
At Amangalla, Galle, Sri Lanka
Formal, high-ceilinged Great Hall, colonial-era antiques
Amangalla's restaurant sits in the restored Great Hall of the original 1684 building, serving a menu that mixes authentic Sri Lankan cooking — curries, hoppers, coconut-based sauces — with the colonial-era European dishes that would have been served here during the building's time as the New Oriental Hotel. It's a genuinely rare combination: most heritage colonial hotels either go fully local or fully European, and Amangalla's kitchen deliberately holds both traditions on the same menu.
Menu Highlights
- Sri Lankan rice and curry, served traditional-style
- Hoppers with a rotating selection of sambols
- Colonial-era European dishes drawn from the hotel's original 19th-century menus
Reservation Tip
Ask about the hotel's history tour before dinner — it changes how the dining room reads once you know what you're sitting in.
