Gemi Rasa

Introduction

Gemi Rasa is a mobile app designed as part of a postgraduate project, aimed at enhancing digital food delivery for Sri Lankan village cuisine. Inspired by platforms like Uber Eats, the UI blends global usability standards with local culture to create a simple, intuitive experience. Built with a Mobile-First mindset, the design prioritizes ease of use on smartphones — the most common device among users. From responsive layouts to vibrant dish visuals and quick booking flows, every element is crafted to make ordering village meals fast, familiar, and enjoyable.

Mobile-First Design

Gemi Rasa adopts a Mobile-First Design approach, ensuring the interface performs flawlessly on smartphones — where most users engage with food delivery apps. The UI is built around touch-friendly interactions, clean grids, and adaptive layouts that respond gracefully to various screen sizes and orientations. A standout feature is the liquid glass effect, which brings a sleek, modern feel to the interface. It subtly layers translucency and blur to highlight foreground content like menus and buttons, while keeping backgrounds visually rich and immersive. This design choice enhances readability and aesthetic appeal without distracting from usability. Combined with fast load times, clear visual hierarchy, and vibrant food imagery, the mobile-first strategy delivers a responsive and refined experience — making village cuisine feel not just accessible, but premium.
