Lankan Filling Station

Lankan Filling Station

📍 Darlinghurst

👀 This has been on the list for quite some time, it is SO hard to get a table. We got a park in the parking station close by. It is known as one of the best Sri Lankan food in Sydney.

💥 It’s a long skinny restaurant with as you can see lots of red and purple lighting. An industrial type look, very busy and bustling.

💁🏼‍♀️ Service was very good, everything was well explained for our first time there and the spice explanations were really good.

🍸 We tried the house sodas, SPARKLING ROSE - Delicious rose syrup, sweet & aromatic $6. I love rose sodas, especially with this cuisine.

They have plenty of booze free options, tea and coffee, beer, wine and cocktails.

🍴 They even have a ‘how to order’ section on their menu:

TIPS ON ORDERING

1. Start with short eats & bites as your pre-main snack

2. Make your hopper or roti selection
(This is the only section not made for sharing)

3. Add curries, vegetables & sambols
(Or just order the banquet & let us decide)

4. Eat - using your hands is encouraged

We started with DEVILLED CASHEW NUTS
Roasted cashews cooked with ghee, mustard seeds & chilli powder $8 these things were addicted and HOT, perfect way to start the meal.

Up next what I was most excited about the EGG HOPPER
As above, with a soft-cooked egg in the base $6.50 matched with a Sambal plate $20 including POL SAMBOL Fresh & hot - grated coconut, Maldive fish, chilli & lime $6, I think our curry was the hot butter cuttlefish special. All the food was so good!

✨ A unique and delicious experience that everyone must try at least once.
