Saruketha: The eco-friendly restaurant

by Beverley Jansz

Saruketha, managed by two very young but experienced hoteliers, is an ideal tourist resort for a unique holiday experience in Kurunegala. Situated in the fifth largest province in Sri Lanka on the Dambulla- Kurunegala highway, at Kurunegala, just two hours' drive from the Bandaranike International Airport, and the busting city of Colombo, it is a shining star among the tourist resorts in the island, as it provides beauty in diversity, supreme comfort and convenience for the holidaymakers.

Built in the middle of a land of lush green vegetation, this Eco friendly tourist resort has earned a name and fame as an ideal venue for picnics and family outings.

Equipped with all the traditionally local facilities, it offers a wide variety of both Western and Eastern dishes and an endless choice of beverages to the discerning traveller.

Occupying an exotic site in the Cultural Triangle heartland, along a green belt of paddyfields, where several rocky outcrops of the emerging central hills is a distinctive geological feature of Kurunegala, slopes down to meet the lush green plains, provides scenic slender at its best to the holiday. 'Saruketha' offers a unique service - we offer garden fresh vegetables and fruits from the 'Saruketha' land on which the restaurant stands, Managing partner, Director, Saruketha, Sanath Panditharathana said.

The Sunday lunch buffet, with a wide spread of delicious Western, Eastern and Sri Lankan cuisine, has become extremely popular not only among foreign tourists but also Sri Lankans touring the Cultural Triangle said Panditharatna.

Saruketha is owned and managed by two young experienced hoteliers, David Jamieson and Sanath Panditharatne.
