Bustling inner-city restaurant with food inspired by traditional Sri Lankan flavours
About Lankan Filling Station
We are a casual eatery with a focus on hoppers: a bowl-shaped savoury pancake made from a fermented batter of rice flour and coconut milk with crispy, latticed edges and a soft doughy crumpet-like centre. Torn, folded or dipped, our hoppers are made to be eaten with an array of the curries and sambols on our menu. Our drinks selection is concise with a range of wines, cocktails and some stray and interesting drinks to suit our spicy food.
We offer a fast paced, exciting and casual dining experience within a small industrial chic space. With an open plan kitchen our guests dive head first into the warmth of toasting spices and bustling atmosphere of a home-cooked Sri Lankan meal.
“I came into this role whilst I was still studying and have found my skills and confidence have developed substantially in the kitchen since, plus the food is delicious and the team are a delight!”
