Real Sri Lankan cuisine

Traditional Sri Lankan Cuisine
Sri Lankan spices, herbs and fresh produce create bold flavours that sing in traditional clay pots, bubbling on the stove. From authentic to fusion cuisine, we take your taste buds on a culinary journey of Sri Lanka! All meals are freshly-prepared at the campsite by our executive chef using handpicked ingredients and regional culinary techniques – you too could try your hand at cooking like a Sri Lankan alongside our chef!
Fresh, spicy and creamy have always been our favourite adjectives when it comes to food, and, to this day, cuisine at Mahoora has been known for just that.

Fine Dining in the Wild
Ever dined in a 12-acre private forest, surrounded by wildlife? Enjoy a surreal, alfresco fine dining experience in the wilderness with personalised butler service.

Feeling peckish while on safari? We’ve selected a beautiful location on the rocks by the lake to stretch your legs, with inquisitive jackals watching just 30m away from your tea cup! Enjoy a light picnic while inside the National Park, with bathing elephants and lake birds surrounding you and framing a slow-sinking sun on the horizon.
Your freshly-brewed cup of coffee or tea is complemented with Sri Lankan cookies. If you prefer cold water or soft drinks, just reach into the cooler.
