Cinnamon Lodge Habarana, nestled amidst 27 acres of reforested land, is an oasis and the epicentre of the cultural triangle. The five star offers the best cuisine served up in the most creative and unique experience.

An intimate dinner for two, punctuated only by the warm glow of candlelight sitting comfortably on the tree tops, overlooking the 6th century Habarana Tank, surrounded by over 2,000 trees or an al fresco BBQ on its banks under a canopy of stars, imbibing grandstand music courtesy of the creatures of the night, encircled by flares and the mouth-watering aroma of magic on coals and a word about that gourmet magic – nothing less than delightful; prime cuts of meat and fresh seafood handpicked by trained chefs, who discuss your preferences and compile a menu that can only be termed perfect.

Simply enjoy the ambiance of this man-made jungle, indulging in a dinner for two, a family night or even a gathering of friends, where the sights and sounds of a tropical forest complimented with the cuisine of your choice can form indelible memories of a relaxing holiday. Apart from the innovative experiences Cinnamon Lodge Habarana house three of the best restaurant options that leaves its guests spoilt for choice.

The Ehela, main restaurant serves buffets for all three meals has the unique feature of live cooking as major fare. While live cooking is certainly an experience, with the unique Noodle Bar, modelled on the street-side cafes of the East and featuring noodle soups from Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia adding authentic flavours of the East.

Cinnamon Lodge’s absolutely indulgent dessert room is literally the icing on the cake. The sandblasted glass enclosure creates works of dessert art, accessorised with home-made ice creams in unusual flavours and delectable chocolates created by the Belgian-trained Chocolatier, Pastry Chef.

The Verandah, a bistro that sports a casual yet somewhat Parisienne style, imbibes a hint of elegance, with the menu designed on the concept of a tabloid, unique and thoroughly different. Whether it’s a quick snack or a full three course meal, the comprehensive ‘tabloid’ menu, allows the guest to pick from a wide array of interesting dishes and beverages that are designed to stimulate the taste buds.

The Lotus, a restaurant with a trio of fine dining concepts for the discerning gourmet. The restaurant introduces Sri Lankan Nouvelle Cuisine, serving up a new take on our own traditional favourites, featuring delicate dishes.
