The Sri Lankan culinary landscape is set to experience a new concept that aims to rewrite the notion of a meat and barbecue restaurant with the launch of ‘The Karnivore at Nawala’.
The dishes served at The Karnivore also include abundant health benefits. The meat is cooked in its natural essence with no added sauce or preservatives and is hand-picked and marinated with a curated touch and customers can enjoy the meat without any added flavouring which is an experience of its own.
This means that each of the dishes is grilled or cooked and are accompanied by a collection of homemade sauce on the side, that is put together with carefully chosen ingredients. The collection includes a delightful BBQ sauce, onion sauce, tartar sauce and rosemary sauce that stands out on its own.
The choicest ingredients such as extra virgin olive oil are used for cooking to ensure food quality while delivering health benefits.
Some of the most signature dishes at the restaurant are the Jumbo prawns and Combo dishes among the famous seafood Paella that has been given a unique Lankan twist with the inclusion of the renowned Kochchi chilli. Their star dish is the Karnivore combo which features a whole range of meats and seafood.
The key investors are Hasitha Kalansuriya, Nalinda Bamunusinghe and Roshan Gunawardane, a computer systems analyst, senior chartered accountant and a Sri Lankan businessman from Japan.
They also hope to open The Karnivore in Colombo and Negombo and plans for opening in Japan are also on the cards.
Outlining the concept behind the restaurant, Nalinda stated that “We have recognized a market gap in high-end BBQ and meat dishes, thereby, it is with this in mind that we have decided to introduce fine dine culture into a menu of meats and barbecue loved by people of all ages.
The Karnivore offers Dine-in, Take Away and Delivery, with 100% compostable containers made from Bagasse which is a by-product of Sugar Cane and is 100% environmentally friendly. Seating at The Karnivore, is in two tiers, with the downstairs section set for family dining. The restaurant also has two private rooms that could be used for events, private parties and functions.
