PRAWNS WE SERVE:

In Sinhala – one of Sri Lanka’s languages – “Isso” means prawn – a nod to the very soul of our menu. At ISSO, we are proud to carry this name as a symbol of our commitment to serving only the finest, export-quality driven prawn dishes that capture the true flavors of our island. 

A JOURNEY OF QUALITY
AND SUSTAINABILITY

Our prawns are more than just a meal—they’re a journey. Harvested from the pristine waters of the Indian Ocean, our prawns are caught using sustainable, eco-friendly methods that safeguard our marine environment. We partner with trusted local fishing communities, ensuring that every prawn is handled with care and respect for nature.

Fisherman’s Signature:

Each prawn is traced back to the dedicated fisherman who caught it, complete with the name of the boat and the specific fishing technique used.

OUR COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE

Our journeyn began in 2016 with a small, cozy dining spot on Suleiman Terrace in central Colombo. Starting with just 18 seats and a dedicated team of fewer than 10, we set out on a thriving local business with 5 outlets across the country – each one a testament to our resilience and commitment to excellence.

ISSO'S

Are prawns a healthy dining option?

Prawns are an excellent source of lean protein, essential vitamins, and omega-3 fatty acids, making them a nutritious choice for a balanced diet. At ISSO, we serve prawns that are not only delicious but also packed with nutrients, supporting a healthy lifestyle.

How does ISSO ensure the quality and freshness of prawns?

We partner with trusted local fishing communities and seafood exporters, ensuring our prawns are sustainably caught or farmed using eco-friendly methods. Each prawn is traceable from the fisherman and his boat to your plate, guaranteeing unmatched freshness and export-quality standards.

What is the flavour profile of Sri Lankan prawns served at ISSO?

Sri Lankan prawns are celebrated for their firm texture, naturally sweet taste, and a subtle hint of ocean brininess. Our chefs enhance these natural qualities by using a blend of traditional Sri Lankan spices, creating dishes that are both aromatic and flavor-packed.

Are prawns safe to eat during pregnancy?

Prawns are generally low in mercury and high in lean protein, making them a popular choice for a balanced diet during pregnancy. At ISSO, we ensure that our prawns are sustainably sourced, fresh, and handled with strict food safety protocols. However, we recommend that pregnant women consult with their healthcare provider to tailor dietary choices to their personal needs.
