Ra Restaurant and Bar

Ra Restaurant and Bar channels the soul of Sri Lanka through pristine local produce and a palette of aromatic spices.

The kitchen’s skilled team brings years of experience to bear, shaping plates that speak of culture, flavour and passion, while keeping a clear focus on freshness. With a relaxed, spice-fragrant mood and the easy conviviality of a bar, this is a place made for unhurried evenings and lively conversation.

Starters set the tone, from hot butter king prawns that crackle with chilli warmth to sautéed calamari swathed in spiced coconut. Mains keep pace: pan-fried barramundi arrives with roasted pepper sauce, while a grilled sirloin steak leans into peppery richness.

Down its curry street, black pork curry hums with black pepper and tamarind, and home-style beef curry is slow-cooked into a comforting, spice-laden gravy. Onion rice or yellow saffron rice make effortless companions, joined by tempered potato and parripu (Sri Lankan dahl) for proper Sri Lankan balance.

To finish, the coconut pancake offers a delicate crepe with sweet coconut, and watalappan whispers of jaggery, cardamom and nutmeg.

Book a table, follow an incredible scent, and let the island spices lead the way. After all, there's more than one way to curry favour.
