Poppy Hana Restaurant

The original Poppy Hana Japanese Restaurant was established in August 2006 in the City of London by Faizal and Kanako Sherifdeen. Faizal, who was born in Sri Lanka and lived in UK for more than 25 years, has over 20 years of experience as a Chef de Saucier in Japanese culinary arts and is especially skilled in the art of sharpening Japanese Knives. He has created a variety of fusion style Japanese Sauces inspired by European and Asian cuisines. His Japanese wife, Kanako, has vast experience and passion in hospitality and is also an experienced Baker specialized in Japanese and European style Bread, Cake and Pastry. After the success of their London branch, they moved to Sri Lanka and decided to open a branch of Poppy Hana Japanese Restaurant with a “Kaiten” Conveyer Sushi Belt in one of the most exclusive locations in Colombo. The restaurant also has a private dining room ideal for business meetings, celebration events and meals.
