Our Story

Sri Lankan warmth,
served by the plateful.

Sambol brings the spirit of Sri Lankan home cooking to Bedminster, the first permanent outpost from the family team behind Ceylon and Beyond.

Now open on East Street, it leans into the idea of a shared feast: a table scattered with vibrant dishes that speak of spice cupboards, coastal breezes, and family recipes passed across generations.

The menu invites grazing and good times. Gather your favourites, settle in, and let the sambols do the talking.
