Lunch at Cinnamon Red, high above the city is an experience that cannot be compared to other lunch time menus in Colombo.
The special a la carte menu, gives guests the liberty to choose from over 40 international dishes inclusive of our very own rice and curry favourites. Made emphasising the nuance of fresh ingredients, lunch at Cinnamon Red is not only a delicious affair, but also a healthy one.
Soups and starters include ‘yellow lentil soup’ or the ‘soup of the day’ to warm you up, as well as ‘prawn salads’, ‘classic Caesar’ (with or without garlic prawns), ‘roasted beetroot’, ‘feta and mixed green salad’, ‘Thai style cobb’, ‘field green and beef carpaccio’. A must try is the ‘Arabic mezze platter’ which includes hummus, mutable, fattoush, labneh, tabbouleh and smoked salmon with toasted bread.
Moving on to the mains – the choice includes seafood, chicken, beef, lamb, pork for meats and pasta, noodles, Indian and Sri Lankan as well.
‘Mixed seafood feast’ certainly lives up to its name with bountiful seer fish, sword fish, prawns and squid with a side of garlic mash, boiled vegetables and lemon butter sauce all fitted in to one! The ‘stuffed chicken roulade with cheese’, a delicious dish consisting of chicken breast stuffed with cheese served with potato puree, vegetables and port reduction is yet another definite must-try! For those who love their steak the ‘Australian beef tenderloin’ is sure to be a winner; while the ‘herb crusted New Zealand lamb rack’ is yet another popular favourite. A selection of pasta can accompany your dishes or Singaporean mixed rice vermicelli and Japanese-style pan noodles. Spicelovers are sure to find the Indian and Sri Lankan dishes up to their liking. From tandoori chicken masala to mutton rogan josh, paneer makhani, chicken, mutton and vegetable biriyani; to vegetarian and non-veg rice and curry – the choices are aplenty. End the meal with a delectable dessert from the menu. The traditional Sri Lankan flavours – a trifecta of local preferences with watalappam, curd and honey and choconut cake is a steady favourite. There is also a delightful dessert selection with vanilla crème brulee, chocolate volcano with vanilla ice cream, cinnamon apple tart with crème anglaise and vanilla ice cream, tropical fruit minestrone with ice cream, and mango cheesecake with mixed berry compote.
