Our story

Rooted in Embilipitiya, shared across the island

Run from our head office on Moraketiya Road, Embilipitiya, Double Barrel is built on a simple idea: beautifully cooked food in generous portions, served in a place where guests can relax and bring their own drinks.

That idea now lives in 6 branches: Embilipitiya, Matara, Galle, Kottawa, Kiribathgoda and Kurunegala. Each one is run to the same standards of quality, hospitality and value, whether you dine in, collect a takeaway or order delivery.

Our kitchens bring together traditional Sri Lankan cooking, wok-fired Chinese dishes, Thai specials and Western comfort food, with couple and family combos made for sharing.
