This summer, Urban Greens continues its Guest Chef Series with the Paradise Salad — collaboration between Dom Fernando, founder of Soho’s Paradise, celebrated its Sri Lankan flavours, and Finn Tonry, MOB Chef and Head of Food at Urban Greens.
Available from June 16 for just four weeks, the new salad blends Paradise’s Sri Lankan roots with Urban Greens’ innovative spirit and carefully sourced ingredients.
At its centre: a sticky, tangy tamarind and jaggery-glazed chicken, laid over Camargue red rice and layered with broccoli, pickled red cabbage, toasted cashews, fresh coriander, and a cherry tomato and coconut pol sambol — a fiery, sharp Sri Lankan classic made with coconut, chilli, and lime. It’s tied together with a curry leaf dressing, made with kithul syrup, a traditional Sri Lankan ingredient drawn from the sap of the fishtail palm.
Finn Tonry said: “This one’s for the flavour-chasers. Dom and I knew we wanted to create something that felt like a tropical escape — but done the Urban Greens way. Every layer has a role to play, whether it’s for heat, crunch, brightness or depth. It’s a salad that keeps surprising you.”
The Paradise Salad introduces a flavour profile from a region of the world not yet showcased on the menu.
Dom Fernando said: “Urban Greens and Paradise share a philosophy. We both care deeply about ingredients, about balance, and about crafting dishes that feel intentional but also full of joy. This collab brings together our worlds — it’s modern, seasonal, and has the soul of Sri Lanka running through it.”
The Paradise Salad will be available at all Urban Greens locations and online via delivery.
