The Sawan List – Eid Special (2020).

Click here for the 2021 list.

It's nearly Eid. As much as we love to celebrate this day with all of our loved ones, we have to limit it to just family this time, due to the ongoing pandemic.

Ramadan isn't complete without a freshly made, flavoursome, fragrant biriyani on the table, which everyone shares together with so much joy. If you do not have the capacity to make one at home, here are a few places in Colombo that deliver biriyani sawans to your doorstep.

This is a working list. If you're a restaurant, and interested in featuring your Eid special sawans here, call at 0753761761 or email ads@yamu.lk.
