KOCHCHI Expands to Glasgow, Bringing Sri Lankan Heat to the City’s West End 🗞️ 🇱🇰 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

This winter, Glasgow’s vibrant West End will welcome .uk , the award-winning Sri Lankan street food brand, as it opens its first standalone restaurant in the former The Hanoi Bike Shop on Ruthven Lane.

The launch marks an exciting new chapter for the brand, which first captured Scotland’s attention at Bonnie & Wild in Edinburgh’s St James Quarter - the acclaimed Scottish food marketplace. Since opening there in 2022, KOCHCHI has become one of Bonnie & Wild’s most popular kitchens, celebrated for its bold, flame-cooked dishes and modern take on Sri Lanka’s rich culinary heritage.

Guests can expect the same fiery spirit and vibrant flavours that defined KOCHCHI’s early days, now brought to life in a space designed for lingering — where the rhythm of Colombo meets the warmth of Glasgow’s West End.

Founded by friends Shehan Fernando and Suki Jayaratne, KOCHCHI was born from a shared love of the country’s diversity and the belief that food is its most powerful storyteller. Though they grew up in different parts of Sri Lanka, it was Colombo - the country’s bustling capital -that united their culinary vision.
