'The Waffle Cafe' offering something for every meal

‘The Waffle Café’ had its opening recently and owners Durga and Marcus Kenny, have ensured that the menu combines the various palates and preferences of their Sri Lankan clientele with a range of savoury and sweet authentic Belgian Waffles. The Belgian waffle offered here has “no set time when you can enjoy it,” Durga states. “You can eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner!”

“I wanted Waffles to be a complete meal,” Durga explains as we scan the menu offering savoury toppings of chicken, prawn, sausage and meatballs and vegetarian options with spinach, mushrooms and “mock duck”.

Currently working toward Halal certification Durga hopes to make her tiny café inclusive to all. A travel bug at heart, Durga has journeyed in and around Europe exploring and observing the cuisines of the countries and slowly falling in love with the Belgian Waffle.

One of Durga’s customer favourites is the “Red Siam” – Prawns cooked in traditional red curry – a must try for a Thai food enthusiast! The creamy curry gave our taste buds a satisfying zing coupled with the crunch of the waffle.

Another customer favourite the “Gini Kukula” is a spicy Sri Lankan curry served with a side of seeni sambol. The traditional chicken curry with coconut milk was generously ladled over the fluffy waffle, the spices giving us a startling slow burn with every bite somewhat offset by the creamy coconut flavour of the curry.

To savour the waffles head down to the Waffle Café in Etul Kotte. Open every day except Mondays and Poya Days from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. customers may receive updates by checking out their Facebook page or go visit them at 901, Kotte Road, EtulKotte, Sri Jayewardanepura Kotte.
