About us

AGNII Eatery Bar is a new dining destination opening in mid October. The name draws inspiration from the Sanskrit and South Asian concept of Agni, meaning fire. Fire is central to the identity of AGNII, reflected in the approach to cooking over an open flame and the belief in using fire to bring out depth, character and natural flavour in exceptional produce. At the heart of AGNII is Gayan Pieris — Owner, Director and Executive Chef, bringing years of experience, a passion for exceptional produce and a distinctive culinary vision shaped by his Sri Lankan heritage and Australian fine dining experience. Gayan's approach to cooking is grounded in seasonality, quality produce, meticulous technique and a deep respect for hospitality.
