Our Story
About Royal Shempagham
A legacy of flavors, a tradition of excellence. Discover the story behind London's most authentic Sri Lankan and South Indian restaurant.
Our Heritage
A Culinary Journey from Sri Lanka to Your Table
Royal Shempagham was born from a deep love for the rich culinary traditions of Sri Lanka and South India. Our founder, having grown up in the vibrant streets of Colombo, learned the secrets of authentic cooking from his grandmother, who believed that food is not just sustenance but a celebration of culture and heritage.
Every dish we serve tells a story of tradition, passed down through generations. From the aromatic biryanis that simmer for hours to the crispy dosas made fresh on traditional tawas, we honor the time-tested methods that make our cuisine unique.
Today, Royal Shempagham stands as a testament to that heritage, bringing the authentic flavors of Sri Lanka and South India to the heart of London. We invite you to join us on this culinary journey and experience the tastes that have delighted generations.
