October 19, 2023 – An innovative marketing chance to escape to the sun with the capital’s number 1 restaurant on TripAdvisor – are you ready for the Curry Bowl Zagreb Kotthu Challenge?
Two brothers came from Sri Lanka with a dream of opening a restaurant in Zagreb. Several years later, not only is Curry Bowl Zagreb open, it is thriving, sitting pretty at number one out of 882 restaurants in the capital on TripAdvisor.
And it is not only the excellent food and service which is catching the eye. There is some pretty slick marketing too, which sets Curry Bowl Zagreb apart from the rest. Where else can you win a free trip to Sri Lanka, for example?
Are you ready for the Kotthu Challenge? In the words of Curry Bowl Zagreb themselves:
