About Ceylon Tea House

Skip the trek into the city—Ceylon Tea House delivers home-style Sri Lankan staples, Friday night hoppers, and weekend feasts. Regulars lean on the counter for flaky pan rolls and fragrant lamprais, while Friday evenings draw hungry crowds for warm hoppers alongside spiced curries and devilled chicken. Double-functioning as a pantry grocer, the casual dining room dishes up generous portions of dhal, chicken kottu, and fiery house-made sambols.

  • Hopper nights and weekend buffets: Friday hopper nights and Saturday spreads serve up endless bowls of curries, devilled chicken, and fried rice.
  • Authentic suburban staples: Generous portions of rice and curry, chicken or lamb kottu, and weekend lamprais without traveling into the CBD.
  • Pantry grocery and takeaway combo: Pick up imported Sri Lankan pantry ingredients and groceries alongside your takeaway order.
