Kottu Roti is the undisputed king of Sri Lankan street food. It is made by rapidly chopping flatbread, fresh vegetables, eggs, and spices together on a hot iron griddle using two metal blades, creating a loud, rhythmic sound.

You can find it everywhere, but the absolute best spots are the small, bustling local eateries operating late at night. Hotel de Pilawoos is a legendary chain across the island for trying your very first cheese kottu.

Always ask the vendor to make it less spicy if you are not used to local heat levels, as traditional kottu is packed with freshly chopped green chilies.
