Chef Shaheen Ghazaly's restaurant, Kurrypinch, has moved to a new location in Hollywood after previously attracting a loyal following in Van Nuys. Ghazaly emphasizes the essence of Sri Lankan hospitality in his cooking, aiming to create a welcoming environment for guests. His diverse menu features traditional and fusion Sri Lankan dishes, influenced by his global travels. Having faced various relocations to reach a larger audience, Ghazaly strives to introduce Sri Lankan cuisine to a broader audience, aspiring to elevate it to fine dining status in the United States.
Sri Lanka is all about hospitality and I wanted people to feel at home and my whole vision at Kurrypinch is that we cook as if we're cooking for loved ones.
Something I wanted to do from the beginning is letting people know about Sri Lankan food. In London, Australia, Canada, a lot of people know about it but in the states I don't think they know much about it.
Sri Lankan cuisine is very vibrant with diverse flavors. Every dish has its own spice blend.
It gave me the ability to try different cuisines. Every time we were in a new port I tried new foods.
