DabbaDrop partners with popular Sri Lankan restaurant for next menu collaboration
DabbaDrop is thrilled to announce their next menu collaboration with Kolamba, one of London’s most beloved modern Sri Lankan restaurants. Together, they’ve created a bold, comforting menu rooted in the island’s rich home-cooking traditions – a celebration of depth, warmth and spice.
Available exclusively on the 4,5 & 6 June 2025, the Kolamba x DabbaDrop – A Sri Lankan Feast menu will include:
- Ala Thel Dala (Fried New Potatoes with Caramelised Onion)
Golden potatoes tossed with curry leaves, mustard seed, cardamom and just the right heat from green chillies and red flecks. Smoky, savoury, and satisfyingly rich. - Jackfruit Curry
Young green jackfruit slow-cooked in coconut milk with curry leaves, cinnamon, mustard seed and a soft kiss of lime. Finished with crispy onions for crunch and depth. - Parippu (Tempered Dal)
A creamy red lentil dhal simmered with coconut milk, garlic, and turmeric, finished with a golden onion temper and a touch of warmth from whole chillies. - Cardamom Rice
Fragrant steamed rice infused with whole cardamom pods – light, aromatic, and the perfect base to soak up every last spoonful. - Toasted Pol Sambol
Especially for this menu, Toasted Pol Sambal will replace the usual Ginger Jam – a dark, toasted coconut relish with mustard seed, curry leaf, lime and black pepper which is smoky, nutty, and packed with umami.
“We’re so proud to partner with Kolamba to share these dishes with you. Recipes that speak of home kitchens, shared tables, and the kind of cooking that’s passed down with care. Whether you’re discovering Sri Lankan flavours for the first time or diving back into something familiar, we hope this menu brings joy, comfort, and a little fire to your week.’’ Renée Williams, co-founder of DabbaDrop.
“We’re excited to partner with DabbaDrop, sending our Sri Lankan flavours further and wider than ever before. This limited-edition menu brings together dishes that speak to the heart of our culinary heritage (like Jackfruit Curry and Ala Thel Dala), so whether you’ve been eating Sri Lankan food for your whole life, or you’re new to the cuisine, we hope you’ll enjoy them.” Eroshan Meewella, co-founder of Kolamba.
Founded by Hackney neighbours and busy mums, Anshu Ahuja and Renée Williams, DabbaDrop is a sustainable food delivery brand whose weekly changing menus take customers on a culinary journey across South Asia and beyond. Each week they serve nutritious, hearty food in traditional – and reusable – tin ‘’dabbas’’, all delivered by pushbike. As the UK’s first zero waste and zero emissions food delivery company, DabbaDrop is pioneering a new – and better – way to takeaway.
Kolamba is the contemporary Sri Lankan restaurant group from founders Eroshan and Aushi Meewella. Kolamba – the locals’ name for Sri Lanka’s capital, Colombo – brings the rich and diverse flavours of Sri Lankan home cooking to the heart of London. The menu features authentic dishes inspired by traditional recipes, including flavourful curries, aromatic rice dishes, and freshly made roti, all designed for sharing. Kolamba has two locations: the original, on Kingly Street in London’s Soho opened in 2019, and a second in London’s Spitalfields, known as Kolamba East, opened in August 2024.
The Kolamba x DabbaDrop – A Sri Lankan Feast menu will be available on 4, 5 & 6 June 2025. Each DabbaDrop feeds two people and costs £30. Orders can be made via the website.
