The island nation's cuisine is a reflection of the various cultural influences that have had an impact on it throughout its history and current culture. The dish does, however, still have a unique flavor. There is more than enough food, including the usual rice and curry, as well as string hoppers, hoppers, roti, and dosai, to entice your palate. Biriyani allows you to interact with the Moorish traders, while love cake and lamprais introduce you to Sri Lanka's colonial overlords. In the end, no matter what you eat, you'll crave more.
