It’s not often that Sri Lankans get to enjoy authentic Serbian Cuisine but now the delicacies from the Balkans will be at their fingertips during the Mitsi’s Food Festival which started from Saturday, September 9 onwards

Mitsi’s is the country’s first-ever Balkan restaurant specialising in Serbian cuisine in Sri Lanka.

‘This Mediterranean Food Festival will be unique as it would be the very first gastronomic experience focusing purely on Serbian culinary delights. We invite all food-lovers to visit our hiding spot in the heart of Colombo – 34A, Bagatalle Road, Colombo 3’ said Ms. Mitsi, who founded Mitsi’s Delicacies way back in 2012.

Dejan Paunković, the dynamic Executive Chef of Mitsi’s Delicacies who leads the culinary team, eagerly waits to indulge the discerning Sri Lankan restaurant-goer with an array of scrumptious delicacies led by its signature national dish of Serbia – Pljeskavica. This heavenly culinary masterpiece is prepared with beef, lamb or chicken, along with onions, Kajmak (milk cream), Ajvar (Serbian roasted red pepper sauce), and Urnebes (spicy cheese salad) served either on plate with side dishes, or with lepinja flatbread.

‘Pljeskavica has become a symbol of Serbia which is now served in specialty restaurants all over Europe. I’m sure Sri Lankan foodies will love our authentic Serbian dishes’ said Dejan.

Equally, the Serbian Cevapcici, a delicious little grilled minced sausage-like meat dish served with Lepinja flatbread, often with chopped onions, sour cream, and roasted red pepper sauce mixed with pickled cheese is straight from its traditional birthplace, the Balkans.

Additionally, to wake up each cell of our taste buds, Mitsi’s is thrilled to treat with its exclusive, iconic Serbian Risotto dish – a special chicken, seafood or vegetable broth, baked mushrooms or rice along with exotic Mediterranean BBQ. The restaurant is popular for its succulent Prawn Buzara, Serbian Cheesy Pasta, homemade Pogacha bread, Mediterranean Fish Soup and Mitsi’s Special Kara or eva Steak.

To add a realistic Balkan ambience, a tasty side of traditional Serbian music is in line with its family-friendly theme.

From the very beginning, Mitsi’s goal was to make its customers happy, both through its amazing dishes and family-friendly, personalized service. Through the years, Mitsi’s scaled up from only doing catering and cakes to a full-service restaurant in Colombo city specializing in Serbian cuisine.

“We are proud to supply many of Colombo’s finest cafés with our cakes and dishes, such as Barista, Tea Avenue, Heladiv Tea Club, Odel, Macchiato, Cup Café, London House, Café La Défense, Shanghai Terrace, Chapter One, Double Cheese and we even export our pastries to the Maldives. We hope that Sri Lanka will be able to not only experience authentic Serbian cuisine, but also to indulge in traditional Serbian culture in your hometown,” concluded Ms. Mitsi.

She also thanked Mitsi’s strategic partner – East West Marketing (Pvt.) Ltd., for partnering in this first-ever Mediterranean Food Festival.

A celebration of fine Mediterranean taste will be open for the general public for a week starting from Saturday, 9th September onwards.
