Cyril Rodrigo Restaurants (Pvt) Ltd, the company behind Green Cabin, one of Sri Lanka’s oldest and most cherished hospitality brands, is embarking on a new phase of expansion, combining its 142-year legacy with strategic corporate partnerships and an ambitious vision for the future.
Since opening its doors nearly a century and a half ago, Green Cabin has steadily expanded its presence across Sri Lanka’s food and hospitality industry, building a strong reputation through its restaurants, bakeries, signature food products, and outdoor catering services. The company is now broadening its operations into banquet management and corporate catering, extending its trusted services to new venues, workplaces, and special occasions.
Alongside its business expansion, Green Cabin is also evolving to address changing consumer expectations. The company is enhancing its menus, food selections, service standards, and overall customer experience while maintaining the authenticity, quality, and distinctive flavours that have remained central to its identity for generations.
Commenting on the company's future direction, Chirath Devasurendra, Managing Director of Cyril Rodrigo Restaurants (Pvt) Ltd, said, “For generations, Green Cabin has been part of the moments which matter most to Sri Lankan families. As the fifth generation of our family to carry it forward, we are growing into banquets and corporate catering and refreshing menus and service for today’s customers, but our commitment remains the same. We provide authenticity, quality and flavours people have always trusted from us. Green Cabin is evolving, but we are not moving away from what made us special.”
As part of its expansion into the corporate catering sector, Green Cabin has taken responsibility for managing the staff cafeteria at Dialog Axiata PLC’s Head Office in Union Place. Drawing on its culinary expertise and established standards in food quality, hygiene, and service excellence, the company provides a comprehensive dining offering for employees and visitors, including breakfast, lunch, savoury snacks, and beverages, alongside additional catering services.
In another strategic collaboration, Green Cabin has partnered with Elephant House, bringing together two of Sri Lanka’s iconic heritage food brands. Under the partnership, selected Green Cabin outlets will offer Elephant House ice cream and hot dogs, complemented by joint promotional activities. The collaboration aims to provide customers with greater variety and convenient access to familiar favourites across dine-in and takeaway options. Further expansion of the partnership will be considered based on customer response.
Through these developments, Green Cabin is reinforcing its position in Sri Lanka’s hospitality industry, demonstrating how a long-established family business can embrace new opportunities while preserving the heritage, values, and customer trust built over 142 years.
