DINNER MENU The name Verala in Sinhala translates to mean beach befitting our seaside speciality restaurant and bar. Inspired by the sea urchin, the architecture is strikingly iconic to create a playful casual environment by the beach for dining and drinks. The unique flavours of Sri Lankan cuisine and specialities from around Asia are the highlights here. Be sure to try the much-loved kottu roti and watch as the ingredients are chopped and cooked to the rhythmic clanging of double blades expertly wielded by our chef.
