Chopper Lamb opens in Mount Lavinia

Chopper Lamb, a home-based online vegetarian food service provider, has now opened its restaurant at Mount Lavinia, Hotel Road. It opened its doors to diners in August, since then it has introduced a variety of multi cuisines.

Founder, entrepreneur and food enthusiast Simeon Lawrence, together with his brother thought the best time to plan out the opening of “Chopper Lamb” was during the COVID lockdown.

Lawrence and his brother who has worked in many destinations and tasted a variety of cuisine across the globe decided to implement some of those food escapades to Lanka.

“I have travelled extensively, and one of my must-dos is to explore the cuisines and see how I can cooperate it in Lanka. I have lived in all parts of the Middle East, and sauces are something I love about the food in the region”.

During the lockdown, Lawrence and his team had carried out delivering vegetarian thali meals, and a lot of people were were telling us to open a restaurant. “I found a location close to my house in Mount, and within two months converted the concept of a French roadside restaurant, with a Sri Lankan touch. We have been in operation for two months, and it has been reasonably and profitably busy, yet we have more to do and much to offer.

Chopper Lamb's name was inspired by another of our favourite restaurant chains in India. The food there is amazing, and when I do travel to India I always stop by there.“we have only taken the Chopper from the restaurant and added Lamb, and the concept is to introduce foreign cuisine, with a mix of Lankan favour and I love to experiment with sauces and ingredients”.

In the months to come, Chopper Lamb, is planning to introduce more food and beverages. Already a hit in the Mount area, the restaurant has joined Pick Me and Uber Eats to extend its services to Wellawatte.

The restaurant is situated at Mount Lavinia, Hotel Road, and is open seven days a week, for lunch and dinner.
