Wednesday Dinner Box
Every Wednesday, Chef Kal prepares a limited-edition dinner box featuring a rotating selection of his favorite authentic Sri Lankan dishes. Each box is made fresh from scratch with locally sourced ingredients and traditional spices.
What's Inside Each Dinner Box?
Each Wednesday Dinner Box is a complete Sri Lankan meal for one, built around the same recipes Chef Kal grew up eating in Colombo. The menu rotates weekly, but every box includes these core elements:
Fragrant Rice
Yellow rice cooked with turmeric, pandan leaf, and whole spices — or a rotating alternative like ghee rice or coconut milk rice.
Main Curry
A protein-rich centerpiece such as chicken curry, deviled pork, fish ambul thiyal, or a hearty vegetable curry for plant-based weeks.
Side Dish
A complementary vegetable preparation — dhal curry, creamy beetroot curry, stir-fried green beans, or spiced potato curry.
Fresh Sambol
A house-made condiment like pol sambol (coconut relish), seeni sambol (caramelized onion), or a fresh cucumber-tomato salad.
How to Order
To place your order for this week's Wednesday Dinner Box, give us a call or send us an email. Orders should be placed by Tuesday evening to guarantee availability. Each dinner box serves one person generously and includes rice, curry, a side dish, and a sambol — everything you need for a complete Sri Lankan meal.
Pickup is available from our Hillsboro location, and delivery may be available depending on your area. We typically announce next week's menu on Monday, so you'll have plenty of time to decide and place your order before the Tuesday cutoff.
Why Try the Wednesday Dinner Box?
The Wednesday Dinner Box is the easiest way to experience Chef Kal's cooking without booking a full catering event. It's perfect for busy weeknights when you want a home-cooked meal without the effort — every dish is prepared from scratch that same day using traditional Sri Lankan recipes and fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
If you've never tried Sri Lankan food before, the dinner box is a great place to start. Each week features a different combination of dishes, so you can explore the cuisine one box at a time. Many of our regular customers started with a single dinner box and went on to book Taste of Pearl for their next event.
