Grand Oriental Hotel, the oldest hotel in Colombo, will stage an authentic Jaffna Food Festival from the 23 to the 26 June at the hotel’s famous restaurant with an outstanding view, the Harbour Room.
The Jaffna Food Festival will combine a host of famous Jaffna dishes such as Chicken Kolambu, Odiyal Kool, steaming hot Jaffna Crab Curry, in addition to many other authentic Jaffna dishes, says Ruwan Withana, Executive Chef of the GOH .
