Ambula in a Stone Cave: A Culinary Journey into Sri Lankan Tradition

In Sri Lanka, Ambula (ඇබුල) represents much more than just a meal—it embodies love, care, and tradition. Traditionally, a devoted wife prepares this hearty lunch and lovingly carries it along narrow paddy field paths to her hardworking husband, who toils under the sun.

Now, this cherished scene takes on an elegant twist. A five-star hotel in Dambulla invites you to enjoy an extraordinary dining experience in a beautifully lit stone cave. This unique setting blends tradition with sophistication while maintaining the highest food safety standards, offering a dining ambiance like no other.

Waiters in traditional Sri Lankan village attire gracefully serve your Ambula, evoking the charm of rural life. A man dressed as a farmer plays soothing melodies on a Sri Lankan flute, adding an authentic and serene touch to the experience.

This meal goes beyond mere sustenance—it becomes a cultural journey that immerses you in Sri Lanka’s rich heritage. The nostalgic setting, paired with thoughtfully curated flavors, creates a moment that transports you to a timeless world.

Contact CCT Sri Lanka today to reserve this remarkable feast. Please note that you’ll need a group of at least 8 guests to take part in this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
