As Sama we consider food to be of prime importance. Our cuisine includes wholesome dishes featuring fresh, homegrown and locally produced ingredients. Every dish reflects our commitment to sustainability, wellness, and the artistry of global cuisine.

We don’t hold rigid perspectives on food. We simply believe that delicious food, prepared with pure ingredients and with love, is inherently healthy. Drawing inspiration from the exquisite tastes and innate balance of Sri Lankan cuisine, our expert chefs bring a whole new meaning to the concept of wellness food. Whether indulging in traditional local specialties or opting for familiar Western fare, we have something for everyone to enjoy. 

Dishes are prepared with the upmost care and attention to detail following the traditional ayurvedic philosophy of ‘Rasa Haya’ ensuring that all major nutrients are included, while balancing the six tastes – sweet, salty, sour, pungent, bitter, and astringent. Such food balances the energies within you, bringing your body back into its nature state of health. 

Harmony is at the heart of our dining experience. Mealtimes here are unhurried moments to gather, savor healthy, delicious meals, and share stories and laughter. For some, this an invitation to connect with loved ones, make new friends, and create lasting memories. For others, this is an opportunity to nourish in quiet introspection while enjoying the sounds of the waves and kiss of the breeze.

Ensuring that all major nutrients are included, the Ayurvedic concept of ‘Rasa Haya’ involves six tastes – sweet, salty, sour, pungent, bitter, and astringent. Such food pacifies the energies within you, bringing your body into a perfect state of balance and harmony.

Harmony is very much a part of our dining experience too. Our meal times are unfettered. They are times to gather around, enjoy healthy meals, share stories and adventures, laugh, talk, make friends and memories.
