Editor’s Note
Last updated 13 Nov 2026
We think Kotuwa offers a distinctive Sri Lankan dining experience, standing out in Singapore's diverse F&B scene.
The cuisine, while influenced by Indian flavours, presents its own unique profile with bold spices and aromatic dishes.
Reviewers consistently highlight the Jaffna Duck Curry and Mutton Rolls as must-try items, with the duck curry praised for its richness and tender meat, and the mutton rolls for their flavour.
The Egg Hoppers are also a popular accompaniment, though some note they are on the pricier side for what is typically a street food item.
Service generally receives high marks, with staff described as knowledgeable and friendly, particularly in guiding first-time diners through the menu.
The ambiance is noted as lively yet cozy, contributing to a memorable meal.
While some find the portions not the biggest and the price point slightly high, the unique flavours and overall experience seem to justify it for many.
We recommend making reservations, especially for dinner, to secure a spot at this popular establishment.

Kotuwa offers a unique and memorable Sri Lankan dining experience, praised for its bold, flavorful dishes like the Jaffna Duck Curry, Matti clams, and Malu Baduma.
While some find it slightly pricey with smaller portions, the vibrant ambiance and attentive service, particularly from staff like J, contribute to a highly positive overall impression.
The outdoor patio is a highlight, though weather-dependent.

Situated in the ground floor of an apartment complex, the restaurant was unassuming. We managed to get an indoor table, as it was very hot and humid. We visited for the first time, having just returne…
