Salt Restaurant in Negombo embodies good food savoured in good company!

‘Food is maybe the only universal thing that really has the power to bring everyone together. No matter what culture, everywhere around the world, people get together to eat.’—Guy Fieri, renowned US celebrity restaurateur.

This is a sentiment that Salt Restaurant at Terrace Green Hotel & Spa Negombo truly understands and embraces—that good food in good company is one of life’s blessings! 

Salt is less ‘fine-dining’ and more quiet luxury—culinary experiences amidst warm lighting, good conversation, and an open kitchen that is its own stage. 

We are especially fortunate to have Sagan Kavinda as our head chef. His speciality is local cuisine, with particular emphasis on Sri Lanka’s signature dish, rice & curry…

Guests can watch, often leaning in to chat about spices or the day’s specials, as Sagan and his team create their feisty fusions of taste, aroma, and passion! 

Salt’s philosophy begins on land and at sea. Ingredients are sourced daily from local farmers, growers and fishermen who deliver produce at its peak of freshness. 

Culinary sincerity

And what arrives on the plate is not so much culinary showmanship as culinary sincerity—comfort food imbued with heart and soul!

Which is why so many non-resident guests come just to enjoy dishes such as Creamy Masala Chicken Delight; Butter Masala Chicken; Special Lagoon Mud Crab served with buttered rice and curries; and Grilled Jumbo Prawns with White Wine.

There’s also Steak with Lemon & Parsley Sauce, and a popular favourite—Creamy Crab Pasta, a memorable creation created by a dear departed chef whose legacy lives on in every mouthful. 

All of which means that at Salt, meals are not merely food—they are shared experiences to be savoured and remembered!
