Tenku turns business lunch into grill-side spectacle

The Kingsbury, Colombo’s acclaimed Japanese restaurant Tenku has brought its teppanyaki grill into the middle of the day, with a daily Teppanyaki Lunch running from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Rs. 4,500 nett per person.

The offering compresses the theatre usually reserved for dinner into a single working lunch hour, without cutting the performance short.

Guests are seated around the iron grill as chefs sear marbled beef, seafood and vegetables to order, working through a set menu built for pace as much as flavour, plated and served course by course without the wait typically associated with a full teppanyaki dinner. For Colombo’s business crowd, it turns a midday meeting or client lunch into something closer to an event, all within reach of offices across Colombo and the World Trade Centre. Floor-to-ceiling glass adds its own effect, framing the city skyline and the Indian Ocean in daylight rather than after dark.

The lunch sits within Tenku’s wider identity as one of Colombo’s most established Japanese restaurants, home to up to 50 varieties of sushi and sashimi and the city’s largest sake collection. The Teppanyaki Lunch is available daily, and reservations can be made by calling +94 112 421 221.
