DabbaDrop teams up with Sri Lankan restaurant Kolamba

DabbaDrop is excited to unveil its latest menu collaboration with Kolamba, a much-loved modern Sri Lankan restaurant in London. This partnership brings a vibrant and comforting menu inspired by the island’s rich heritage of home cooking—a true celebration of bold flavours, warmth, and spice.

Founded by Hackney neighbours Anshu Ahuja and Renée Williams, DabbaDrop is the UK’s first zero waste, zero emissions food delivery service. Their weekly-changing menus, delivered by pushbike in reusable steel dabbas, offer a nutritious, flavour-packed journey through South Asia and beyond.

Kolamba, created by Eroshan and Aushi Meewella, brings the bold, home-style flavours of Sri Lanka to London. With locations in Soho and Spitalfields, the restaurant serves authentic, shareable dishes inspired by traditional family recipes.

Together, they’ve created the Kolamba x DabbaDrop: A Sri Lankan Feast, available on 4, 5 & 6 June 2025. The menu includes:


Ala Thel Dala (Fried New Potatoes with Caramelised Onion)
 Golden potatoes tossed with curry leaves, mustard seed, cardamom and just the right heat from green chillies and red flecks. Smoky, savoury, and satisfyingly rich.

Jackfruit Curry
Young green jackfruit slow-cooked in coconut milk with curry leaves, cinnamon, mustard seed and a soft kiss of lime. Finished with crispy onions for crunch and depth. Parippu (Tempered Dal)
.

A creamy red lentil dhal simmered with coconut milk, garlic, and turmeric, finished with a golden onion temper and a touch of warmth from whole chillies. Cardamom Rice
Fragrant steamed rice infused with whole cardamom pods - light, aromatic, and the perfect base to soak up every last spoonful.

Toasted Pol Sambol - Especially for this menu, Toasted Pol Sambal will replace the usual Ginger Jam - a dark, toasted coconut relish with mustard seed, curry leaf, lime and black pepper which is smoky, nutty, and packed with umami.

Each box serves two and costs £30. Order via the DabbaDrop website- www.dabbadrop.co.uk
