Kotuwa is Chef Rishi Naleendra's highly anticipated venture. With an emphasis on a lively, modern and casual vibe that focuses on traditional Sri Lankan cuisine, Kotuwa pays homage to the 35-year-old's Sri Lankan heritage.

Kotuwa, named after the Sri Lankan capital's central business district, aims to bring the sights, sounds and tastes from Sri Lankan's streets and markets to the Singapore diner. It also means "fort" in Sinhalese, a reminder of the ancient landmarks built by Sinhalese kings and the Portuguese, Dutch and British settlers that have influenced the country's history, culture and cuisine.
