Jaffna யாழ்ப்பாணம் Jaffna Food Trail

"The best food in Sri Lanka is in Jaffna," a Southern Sri Lankan told us once proudly. When we set foot in Jaffna, we had to agree wholeheartedly. Located in northern Sri Lanka, Jaffna boasts a unique and vibrant cuisine deeply rooted in its rich cultural heritage. Influenced by Tamil and Indian traditions, food in Jaffna is infused with herbs, spices and masala that burst into flavour the moment you take a bite. Follow us to Jaffna's culinary highlights and take a peek behind your plate. Who are the people who make all of these delicious dishes, and what do local foodies have to say about their favourite bites? Let's dig into their stories!

I absolutely love food and people. The moment I set foot in Sri Lanka, its food called my name. I also love bonding with people and making food for my friends. I want to make everything myself (but, unfortunately, I learned that I can't)!

I'm a really fun person to hang out with. I like meeting new people and making good memories with them. I might act a bit crazy sometimes, but trust me, you'll definitely love meeting me. P.S. Food is life!

I'm crazy about food. I like people who love to eat. They're the best kind of people. Food is art, and food is love. We should show love and appreciation to those who cook it by eating it with relish.
