The owners of Ury Restaurant, known for serving Kerala-style dishes in Newcastle’s Quayside, have now opened the Street Food Sri Lanka café, specialising in authentic Sri Lankan cuisine, Chronicle Live has reported.
The owner of Ury, Dushantha Alawattegama, has been preparing for the launch since 2022.
The café, located at Alley 1 inside Newcastle’s Grainger Market, aims to embody “dinithi” – a concept of good food and fortune, and serves curries and seafood enriched with vegetables and exotic fruits.
Dushantha embarked on a career change when he moved from a banking job in Sri Lanka to the UK in 2003.
His entrepreneurial journey led to the establishment of Ury on Queen Street, which gained recognition as the first restaurant in Newcastle to offer a unique blend of Sri Lankan, Indian and Oriental cuisines.
