ABOUT US

I’m Yogi, the chef and founder of Yogi Sri Lankan Kitchen, based at Trampoline Café in Angel. My path into food has been anything but ordinary. I arrived in the UK as an asylum seeker and spent years facing homelessness, hunger, and serious health struggles. With the support of Freedom from Torture and Migrateful, I was able to rebuild my life and discover my passion for sharing Sri Lankan food.

Today, I bring the flavours of my childhood and family traditions into every dish I prepare. From curries inspired by my mother’s cooking to recipes adapted for the diverse tastes of London, my kitchen is a place of warmth, resilience, and community. Cooking is not just my livelihood—it is my way of giving back, offering care, and creating a sense of home for everyone who visits.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of cooking for charities, hosting supper clubs, and even working with hotels and museums across London. Each experience has strengthened my belief that food is more than a meal—it’s a way to connect, to heal, and to celebrate life. At Yogi Sri Lankan Kitchen, every plate carries that story, blending tradition with the journey that brought me here.

WHY US

That’s why our kitchen is not just about eating; it’s about feeling welcomed, nourished, and part of a bigger family.
