The company which started 4 weeks ago infuses their fresh produce with traditional Sri Lankan and Bangladeshi herbs and spices, allowing you to savour all the tasty flavors. As a result, the young business partners have enjoyed some incredible reviews.

Business owner Pavi, said: “Myself and Tangeela have both worked tirelessly to get this business off the ground. While at University, I worked 40-45 hours a week and slept in my car for months just to save money and start something I’m incredibly passionate about.

"The main reason why we are different is because our burgers are all freshly made – absolutely nothing is frozen, and our fries are hand-cut. We get our spices from Sri lanka and we have partnered with a 5-star Sri lankan chef.

"Right now we are only doing deliveries and its free of charge for people who are based in Sheffield. We are open Friday from 12 pm till 9 pm and Saturday from 2 pm till 9 pm. Currently we make different burgers but we’ll hopefully progress to more authentic Sri Lankan food.”
