Perched on the beachfront of\u00a0Radisson Blu Resort Galle,\u00a0Yazu\u2019s first outpost outside India brings bold Pan-Asian flavours, an innovative beverage programme to Sri Lanka\u2019s southern coast ocean\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Galle [Sri Lanka], May 12:<\/strong> Yazu, India\u2019s premium Pan-Asian dining and lifestyle destination, today announced the opening of Yazu Galle, its first restaurant outside India at the Radisson Blu Resort Galle, Sri Lanka.<\/strong>\u00a0Marking a defining milestone in the brand\u2019s journey, Yazu Galle brings together authentic Japanese, Thai, and Cantonese cuisine, a boundary-pushing beverage programme, and an architectural experience unlike anything on the island\u2019s dining landscape.<\/p>\n

Positioned on the beachfront of one of Sri Lanka\u2019s most iconic coastal destinations,\u00a0Yazu Galle<\/strong>\u00a0is both a homecoming and an arrival, a brand built on precision and craft, now finding its international expression against the backdrop of the Indian Ocean.<\/p>\n

Founded by Ranbir Singh Nagpal and Atul Chopra,<\/strong>\u00a0Yazu began in India with a singular vision: to deliver a Pan-Asian dining experience rooted in authenticity, technique, and modern expression. With successful outposts across\u00a0Mumbai, Goa, Indore, Chandigarh, and Bangalore,<\/strong>\u00a0the brand has steadily built a loyal following drawn to its seamless marriage of food, beverage, ambience, and energy.<\/p>\n

Yazu Galle is the brand\u2019s boldest expression yet. Set at the\u00a0Radisson Blu Resort Galle at 523C Colombo Road, Ginthota,\u00a0<\/strong>the restaurant represents Yazu\u2019s first foray beyond Indian shores, a step that reflects both the brand\u2019s maturity and its ambition to compete on a global stage.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur entry into Sri Lanka with Yazu Galle marks a defining milestone for the brand as we take our first step beyond India. Galle, with its unique blend of cultural depth and global appeal, offers the perfect setting for our international debut.\u00a0<\/em>With Yazu, we aim to introduce a refined Pan-Asian dining experience that seamlessly brings together authenticity, innovation, and high-energy hospitality \u2014 creating a destination that resonates with both global travellers and the evolving local audience.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2014\u00a0<\/strong>Ranbir Singh Nagpal, Founder & CEO, Yazu Hospitality<\/strong><\/p>\n

An Architectural Experience: Where the Ocean Meets Asian Craft<\/strong><\/p>\n

Designed by\u00a0acclaimed designer Sumessh Menon,<\/strong>\u00a0the Yazu Galle space is a tropical Asian haven of rare beauty. The restaurant occupies an ocean-facing, sandy arena within the Radisson Blu Resort property, a beachfront setting that is at once dramatic and intimate.<\/p>\n

Menon\u2019s design language draws from the imagery of an authentic, nonchalant food spot in a rural part of Asia \u2014\u00a0earthy, warm, and entirely at ease with its surroundings.\u00a0<\/strong>An imposing prefabricated timber structure anchors the space, with natural wood and woven cane elements dominating throughout.\u00a0Custom-made cane pendant lamps wrapped\u00a0<\/strong>with jute fibre and wooden beads hang above with commanding presence. The solid wood entrance door, etched with precision through CNC machining, is a work of art in its own right.<\/p>\n

From\u00a0elevated semi-private seating to soft, wave-like booth alcoves, the dining spaces offer a cocoon-like intimacy that belies the grandeur of the architecture.\u00a0<\/strong>Yazu Galle is at once striking and serene, a space designed for long evenings, unhurried conversation, and the kind of dining that becomes memory.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Yazu, our focus has always been on creating a dining experience that is both refined and relevant to today\u2019s audience. With Yazu Galle, we bring toge<\/em>ther authentic Pan-Asian flavours and a vibrant atmosphere in a setting that naturally complements the brand. Sri Lanka is an exciting market for us, and this marks an important step in expanding Yazu\u2019s footprint while staying true to our core philosophy.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The Menu: Pan-Asian Mastery, Reimagined for the Coast<\/strong><\/p>\n

At\u00a0the heart of Yazu Galle is a menu that reads like a culinary journey across Asia, one that has been thoughtfully reinterpreted through the lens of Galle\u2019s coastal freshness and Sri Lankan terroir. Under the culinary direction of\u00a0Chef Ranjan Thapa,\u00a0<\/strong>the kitchen operates across multiple disciplines simultaneously, each executed with the precision the Yazu name demands.<\/p>\n

The World of Sushi<\/strong>\u00a0is a chapter unto itself, spanning Classic Nigiri, Aburi Nigiri (flame-seared tableside), and Sashimi, with premium cuts including Norwegian Salmon, Hamachi (Yellow Tail), Japanese Grilled Eel (Unagi), and the prized Blue Fin Tuna Chu-Toro.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Signature Maki Rolls<\/strong>\u00a0range from the inventive Yazu Watermelon Roll to the indulgent Ocean Platters, which bring together the best of the sushi counter in a single, curated spread.<\/p>\n

The Dim Sum programme<\/strong>\u00a0spans Cantonese classics and contemporary creations with equal confidence: Experience Dim Sum Basket, the chef\u2019s own selection of the kitchen\u2019s finest, served in a single bamboo steamer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Hot Stone Grill brings robata-inspired theatre to the table<\/strong>:\u00a0Grilled Miso Black Cod, Jumbo Prawn with Thai herb sweet chilli,<\/strong>\u00a0Australian Lamb Chops in Korean Gochujang sauce, and the standout\u00a0Guy Kushi,<\/strong>\u00a0Wagyu beef skewers glazed with Hibachi sauce \u2014 each grilled to order with a precision that honours the ingredient. For the larger table, the\u00a0Aromatic Peking Duck<\/strong>, slow-cooked, carved, and served with thin pancakes and condiments, is Yazu Galle\u2019s most ceremonial dish, and rightly so.<\/p>\n

The Beverage Edit: Japanese Precision Meets Tropical Indulgence<\/strong><\/p>\n

Inspired by the rhythm of the coast, the\u00a0Yazu Galle beverage menu, led<\/strong>\u00a0by\u00a0Sudesh Suvarna,\u00a0is conceived to bridge Japanese precision with the laid-back energy of Galle.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The\u00a0mocktail menu<\/strong>\u00a0is thoughtful \u00a0& features drinks like Heat Check, spicy, zesty, and refreshing with a citrus kick, and Mock Penzi, fruity, tangy, and refreshing with a herbal twist.<\/p>\n

A Partnership Built on Shared Vision<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Radisson Blu Resort Galle, with a long-standing reputation as one of Sri Lanka\u2019s southern coast\u2019s most celebrated luxury destinations, aligns naturally with Yazu\u2019s positioning as a brand that refuses to compromise on setting or experience.<\/p>\n

Talking about the partnership,\u00a0Bob Kundanmal, Chairman, Sino Lanka Hotels Holding Ltd, said,\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cWe are delighted to partner with Yazu Hospitality to bring this exceptional Pan-Asian concept to Radisson Blu Resort Galle. Sri Lanka has always embraced diverse culinary experiences, and Yazu\u2019s refined approach, combined<\/em>\u00a0with its strong brand identity, adds a new dimension to our dining offerings. We are confident that Yazu Galle will set a new benchmark in the region, enhancing the resort\u2019s positioning as a premier lifestyle and dining destination on the southern coast.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
