Holiday memory — Rice and Curry that transported me back

I first ate Rice and Curry on a trip five years ago and have been searching for a version this good ever since. This restaurant finally delivered the tangy from goraka and tamarind quality I remembered. Maldive fish chips was handled correctly — something most restaurants here get slightly wrong.

Maldive fish is a uniquely Sri Lankan ingredient with no close equivalent elsewhere. It was the a Colombo rice and curry lunch memory that I was really chasing and this recreated it. ginger beer was offered and brought the whole experience together. Some dishes are attached to a time and place. This one finally restored that attachment.
