Green Cabin embraces new chapter of growth preserving 142-year legacy

Cyril Rodrigo Restaurants (Pvt) Ltd, (Green Cabin), one of Sri Lanka’s oldest and best-loved hospitality brands, is entering a new chapter of growth, building on 142 years of heritage with strategic corporate partnerships and a clear vision for the future.

For nearly a century and a half since it first opened doors, Green Cabin has grown steadily, from its restaurants and bakeries to signature products and outdoor catering. The growth now continues as the company expands into banquet management and corporate catering, taking the trust it has built with Sri Lankan families into new venues, workplaces and occasions.

As the company expands into innovative areas, Green Cabin is transforming to meet the expectations of today’s customers, upgrading menus, food offerings, services and overall customer experience continuing to be true to the authenticity, quality and flavours that have defined the brand.

Chirath Devasurendra, Managing Director, Cyril Rodrigo’s Restaurants (Pvt) Ltd stated, “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.”

Expanding into corporate catering, Green Cabin will manage the staff cafeteria at the Dialog Axiata PLC Head Office in Union Place. Recognised for its culinary expertise, commitment to quality, hygiene and service excellence, Green Cabin delivers a high-quality dining experience at the cafeteria, serving breakfast, lunch, savoury snacks, and beverages to employees and visitors, while also providing catering services.

Combining two heritage brands together, Green Cabin has also joined hands with Elephant House, to offer Elephant House ice cream and hot dogs at selected Green Cabin outlets, supported by joint promotions. The collaboration unites two of Sri Lanka’s longest-standing food brands, sharing strong consumer familiarity and commitment to quality, offering customers familiar favourites and greater choice for dine-in and takeaway, with opportunities for a wider rollout based on customer response.

Green Cabin also manages the banquet facilities at Havelock City, the mixed-use development of Overseas Realty (Ceylon) PLC, as ‘Havelock City Banquets by Green Cabin’. The company was selected for the brand’s decades of experience and trusted reputation in catering and hospitality. As the exclusive catering partner for all events at the venue, Green Cabin provides end-to-end catering, customised menus and event coordination services.

The new chapter rests on a clear principle in which Green Cabin is changing how it serves customers, without losing what has made it special. Its signature products and distinctive flavours, enjoyed by generations of Sri Lankans, will remain at the heart of the brand.
