We've never had Sri Lankan food, so I made a reservation because why come halfway across the world…read moreand not try something you can't have at home? Only problem was that my mom has severe acid reflux and cannot have anything spicy (Scoville kind of spicy). I made sure to email the restaurant months in advance and when we arrived, the person helping us remembered the email! He made sure to point out again what wasn't spicy and we were able to feed her well. This restaurant is small and intimate so you definitely need a reservation. It seems to be a great date place because it's dark and there is some cool mood lighting going on. You'll be sitting very close to whoever you're with as well. The food is something I've never experienced before and I actually can't wait to try more. The hoppers were interesting. It felt hard to pick up stuff with but I noticed a lot of people just spooning curry into it. I'll try that next time. The roti was all really good, including the gluten free one. We didn't take home leftovers but my mom made sure to take those with her. Drinks were very unique and refreshing. I loved the play on classic cocktails but made with Sri Lankan flair and ingredients. So why not 5 stars? Some things rubbed me the wrong way service wise. My drink was forgotten and it kind of felt like it was my fault (t wasn't) even though I did get an apology. Also, my mom is very much a rice person so we wanted rice with her cashew curry. But the person helping us was like no, you're getting the dhal and replaced it. Yes, the dahl was good but my mom would have liked the rice.

Fantastic experience tonight at Sri Lankan Street Food in Grebe (which I believe might be how…read moreAussies pronounce "grub", given all the serious food choices on this one street). SLSF fortuitously was right across the street from my guesthouse and there was no chance I was going to pass up the opportunity to dine there. While I can't profess to any sort of super educated depth of experience with the cuisine of Sri Lanka, I did have the fortune of having a friend who was a great representative cook of his home cuisine and I knew it was more significantly varied than just a spin on Indian food. Heavy in coconut, seafood and spice, Sri Lankan food has to date been woefully underrepresented in most major cities. But not here in Sydney, where there seem to be several restaurants serving Sri Lankan food. Sri Lankan Street Food boasts of having a chef who cut his teeth in kitchens for various high end hotels and yachts. He owns a catering/restaurant based in Toongabbie, and SLSF represents their foray into the big city dining scene. They have been open one year already and business has been steady. It should be mobbed. The beef curry and hoppers (Sri Lankan crepes is the nearest I can describe them), one of which had a soft boiled egg, was extremely tasty. Not unspicy, yet not unpleasantly hot either. My fish main course, served wrapped in a banana leaf, was also on mark, and had some nice salads and yogurt to balance the taste. The menu spoke of a sour ingredient (apparently a weight loss technique in Sri Lanka, similar perhaps to when your older brother poured sour powder all over your dinner and you refused to eat it), but if it was there I didn't notice. The team is solicitous and friendly, as evidenced by the advice to "drive safe!" issued to each food service driver that came in. Note that they don't serve beer and wine, so you should come equipped with your alcoholic beverage of choice, if that is your preference. They do have a variety of non-alcoholic drinks and desserts, though I simply didn't have room.

Parking in the street at that time is OK. It did take quite a long time for the meal but as we were a group of six and had a few things to chat about we weren't too worried. The waitress was nice and attentive too. The servings we got for entree and main were equivalent to other Indian restaurants. The curries were served in balti dishes. Certainly more than that was described in John's review of his takeaway. The dish that we did like was the Chicken 65 as an entree. If you like something with a bit of a kick then that is the one to pick. I would go back there again as Yelp shows a 15% discount and we were also given a voucher for a 15% discount for a return meal from the waitress.

We got home delivery from this place. Ordered cheese and garlic naan and ended up with bland cheese only bread - no garlic. Butter chicken was so loaded with sugar and so sweet it was a struggle to eat. And in an entire take away size dish there would have been no more than a very small thigh fillet diced up in amongst the soupy sauce. Similarly elusive was the meat in the lamb korma but unfortunately when we found it the meat was so chewy we ended up throwing it out anyway. I'd definitely give this place a miss....
