Yes but you must be very specific Traditional Sri Lankan food relies heavily on coconut milk coconut oil and roasted spices If you want a plain detox diet ask them for simple boiled vegetables Kola Kenda herbal porridge and clear broths They are incredibly accommodating but you must request it the day before

Ask them not to use Maldive Fish Umbulakada if you want it to be strictly vegetarian

Fresh papaya in the morning is the best natural detox they can offer you
