Marshi’s Kitchen

Since her early childhood in Colombo, where her mother cooked in local restaurants, Marshi Gnanasooriya has been immersed in the world of cooking. Her love for food, flavours, and family is felt throughout Marshi’s Kitchen.

Menu favourites include the avo toast with house-made beetroot hummus and almond dukkah, the red lentil curry bowl and the lamb roti and prawn scramble with chilli oil and curry lime butter – inspired by Gnanasooriya’s 12-year-old son.

Gnanasooriya showcases local produce with bread and pastries from Prove, and vino from SA family-owned wineries like Paracombe and Golding. On Friday and Saturday nights, the menu changes to feature more of Gnanasooriya’s traditional Sri Lankan heritage – with dishes like Jaffna lamb curry with mint cucumber yoghurt, and barramundi with creamy coconut gravy.

There’s ample natural light from the large windows and the spectacular glass rooftop, and the space feels homey with a cosy fireplace, hanging planter baskets and pendant lights, as well as outdoor and balcony bar seating.
