Curry Bowl

It was our first time trying food from Sri Lanka and we were not disapointed. All our dishes tasted amazing and were full of flavour. I have to give a special mention to their home made ice tea which was one of the best I ever had. It was amazing. From a price point of view, prices are correct. I recommend.

We visited Curry Bowl during our trip to Zagreb in December 2025. We already had high expectations after watching a YouTube video about the restaurant, but we were genuinely overjoyed when those expectations were exceeded. Both the food and the service were exceptional. Most importantly, the food carried truly authentic Sri Lankan flavours, unlike many so-called Sri Lankan restaurants we’ve tried across Europe. The absolute highlights for us were the kiri maalu (fish curry) with yellow rice and the isso vade (prawn vade) — flavours that instantly brought back a feeling of home. Thank you for bringing real Sri Lankan taste to Europe and for giving us such a warm, comforting experience away from home. P.S : We went there again the very next day :)) That’s why there are many pics from different meals.

This Sri Lankan establishment is situated on the popular Ul. Ivana Tkalcica which is populated by many restaurants, cafes, and pubs. Almost all of these have seating areas outside which make them ideal for people-watching. The Curry Bowl is not fancy, nor does it have an extensive menu, but it is a good place to find quick and easy curries. It is NOT a completely gluten-free restaurant, but their menu does provide a detailed breakdown of the allergens in each of the restaurant’s dishes. For dinner, my spouse had chicken curry with rice that she described as filling but nothing special flavour wise. I chose the Kotthu which is described as “made with a combination of spices, eggs and homemade roti” with the protein options of chicken, beef, calamari, or black pork. I chose not to add cheese for an additional charge. I found it to have a unique presentation and the black pork option was quite flavourful. It was also very filling and so provided good value for money. There are also vegan and vegetarian options as well as a variety of drinks. Service was quick and efficient and main courses were about E13-15.

I visited Curry Bowl Zagreb today, the food was absolutely delicious and full of flavour! 😋 The staff were very friendly, the place was clean, and everything tasted fantastic. Definitely one of the best Sri Lankan restaurants I’ve tried in Europe. Highly recommend!

True flavors of Sri Lanka — the food is full of taste and spices, just like it should be. The staff is really friendly and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. Highly recommend if you want something authentic and different in town!

We had read some good reviews on TripAdvisor so we decided to come here for dinner. Another reason was availability of veg food which is little difficult in Zagreb. we were not disappointed. It was a small place in a pedestrian lane which was full of bar and restaurants with lively ambience. We had veg curry with rice and deviled vegetables which was quite good. The tables and chairs could have been better. The service was fast and efficient...

Can’t go wrong with this place. Amazing Sri Lankan fusion food, extra awesome service and an overall wonderful experience every time I come here. Love the kothu and the buttered calamari. Keep it up guys!

10/10 experience! Food was authentic, delicious, and well priced. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and provided quick service. 100% recommend giving Curry Bowl a try if you are in the area.
