Galle Club

Sri Lankan & Coastal Indian Flavours

Galle Club is a homage to the vibrant and periodic charm of Sri Lanka. The restaurant celebrates Sri Lankan and South Indian cuisine, with a strong emphasis on the depth and diversity of regional dishes.

“Sri Lankan cuisine is so often overlooked beside the larger-than-life flavours of Indian food. There are certain similarities, but also bold differences between the two. Indian cuisine is what I was born into; Sri Lankan is the cuisine I chose.” – Shrey Gaurishankar, founder.
