Our story

the art of culinary

From a small kitchen in Kalagedihena to one of Sri Lanka’s most trusted caterers — built on great food, punctuality and word of mouth.

How it all began

A small kitchen,
a big dream

Voleena Foods began in 1998, when a young entrepreneur, Anjana Jayakody, fresh out of the Ceylon Hotel School, opened a small kitchen in Kalagedihena with his wife. Their very first order was a wedding for 150 guests — and that first customer is still a loyal patron today.

Over the years Voleena has grown from a simple home operation into a full-fledged catering company serving families and organisations all over the island, about 30 km from Colombo.

We believe catering is not just serving food — it is an art. The art of culinary.

“I always wanted to start something of my own. I started it and pursued it until I achieved success.”
