Kunthaville

For a taste of authentic Sri Lankan cuisine, visit Kunthaville, a new Ceylonese restaurant and tea room situated in a charming two-story shophouse along Veerasamy Road. Incepted by chef-owner Kuntha Chelvanathan, the establishment serves up vegan Sri Lankan fare prepared with imported Sri Lankan ingredients like cinnamon, spice mixes and Sri Lankan rice. If you want to learn more about Sri Lankan cuisine, feel free to ask Kuntha or one of the waitstaff – they will be more than happy to explain while you dig into the deftly prepared dishes. Must order dishes include the spicy beetroot cutlets, the curry leaf coconut rice with jackfruit curry and mango chutney, and the gundappam or fat appam, comprising fermented rice treats served with roasted coconut chambal and a drizzle of coconut milk. End off a hearty meal with sweet treats like vegan brownies paired with freshly brewed tea made with tea leaves grown on her family’s tea plantations in Sri Lanka.
