A la carte meals are normally served communally at a large dining table opposite the fireplace or outside on the verandah. Alternatively, for those who prefer privacy, staff can make up individual tables.&nbsp; On request, or at the occasional whim of the chef, our poolside stone terrace provides an ideal venue for barbecue outside under the stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1283\" src=\"https:\/\/eaglerockella.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/dining-on-terrace-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1283\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eaglerockella.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/dining-on-terrace-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/eaglerockella.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/dining-on-terrace-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/eaglerockella.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/dining-on-terrace-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/eaglerockella.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/dining-on-terrace-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/eaglerockella.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/dining-on-terrace-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1284\" src=\"https:\/\/eaglerockella.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Chef-Aruna-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1284\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eaglerockella.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Chef-Aruna-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/eaglerockella.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Chef-Aruna-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/eaglerockella.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Chef-Aruna-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/eaglerockella.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Chef-Aruna-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/eaglerockella.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Chef-Aruna-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"619\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1282\" src=\"https:\/\/eaglerockella.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/traditional-srilankan-619x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1282\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eaglerockella.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/traditional-srilankan-619x1024.jpg 619w, https:\/\/eaglerockella.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/traditional-srilankan-181x300.jpg 181w, https:\/\/eaglerockella.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/traditional-srilankan-768x1269.jpg 768w, https:\/\/eaglerockella.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/traditional-srilankan-929x1536.jpg 929w, https:\/\/eaglerockella.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/traditional-srilankan-1239x2048.jpg 1239w, https:\/\/eaglerockella.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/traditional-srilankan-scaled.jpg 1549w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 619px) 100vw, 619px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our locally-born and raised chef Aruna was professionally trained and apprenticed at a large 5-star hotel. Aruna has mastered the art of healthy cooking using locally sourced fruits, vegetables and spices in ways to maximize flavors and minimize the need for salt and oil. Unlike many cooks in the valley, Aruna has developed a broad repertoire ranging from the usual Sri Lankan favorites to Indian regional dishes, as well as Greek, Italian, Turkish, and even Indonesian foods. To date, his cooking has only ever earned compliments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few examples include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sri Lankan Black Pork Curry and Brinjal Moju, Indian regional Bengali Mustard Fish, Punjabi Muttar Paneer, Tamil Green Beans and Coconut, Goan Pork Sorpotel and Chicken Xacuti, Greek Moussaka and Spanikopita, Turkish Shakshuka, Indonesian Chicken Rendang and a wide range of Italian fare.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/eaglerockella.com\/?page_id=1287\" title=\"\">Take a look at some sample menus here<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Professional chef Aruna will delight your senses with his delicious Sri Lankan and global fare.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1271,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1280","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","latest_post"],"aioseo_notices":[],"wps_subtitle":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eaglerockella.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1280","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eaglerockella.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eaglerockella.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eaglerockella.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eaglerockella.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1280"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/eaglerockella.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1280\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1290,"href":"https:\/\/eaglerockella.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1280\/revisions\/1290"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eaglerockella.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1271"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eaglerockella.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1280"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
