Sri Lankan Pop Up
June 28th & 29th
$50 (plus tax and tip)

At the end of this month, we welcome back Ruth Moonesinghe to treat us to some tasty Sri Lankan dishes. Like the popup in 2015, we expect this to sell out quickly.

After witnessing the devastation caused by the Easter bombings, in Sri Lanka, Prequel co-owner Johann knew he wanted to do something to help raise funds and also remind people that wonderful, amazing food comes out of this island community.

If you haven’t had Sri Lankan food before, it’s been described as a cross between Indian and Thai flavors. Having spent the last 40 years in Southern California, Chef Ruth also has a heavy focus on creating dishes that are healthy and veggie-forward…and down-right delicious.
