Mirissa takes its name from the coastal town on Sri Lanka's southern shore, known for its seafood, its spice markets, its unhurried beach culture. We brought that same spirit to New Row: bold curries served in a warm, family-run dining room.

The kitchen draws on technique gathered across some of the world's most dynamic hospitality environments, from the home kitchens of Sri Lanka, through Singapore's luxury hotel scene, to London's own high-volume professional kitchens, combining traditional flavours with contemporary presentation in a way that feels both authentic and alive.

Every dish that leaves the pass is built on the same discipline: precision, consistency, and a deep respect for the ingredients that define Sri Lankan cooking.

Drawing on that international experience alongside a deep knowledge of Sri Lankan ingredients and cooking traditions, the team brings authenticity and creativity to Mirissa, Covent Garden, every evening.

London's restaurant scene continues to evolve, yet authentic Sri Lankan cuisine remains largely underrepresented. Mirissa blends traditional southern-coast flavours with a quiet British influence, celebrating rich curries, fresh seafood, and the distinctive spices that define Sri Lankan cooking.

Covent Garden gives us the room to do it properly: footfall from across the world, an audience that comes hungry for the unfamiliar, and a stage that takes a young cuisine seriously.
