Sri Lankan cuisine is a rare find in Singapore, and Kunthaville offers an even rarer all-plant-based Sri Lankan menu! Their standout dish is the Kunthaville Vallavu Spicy Beetroot Cutlet. If you didn’t know that they were a vegan-friendly restaurant, you’d probably mistake them for meat patties! They’re actually made of beetroot, mixed with aromatic Sri Lankan spices, giving them an addictive sweet and spicy kick.
