About CHUM CHUMS

Clayton’s go-to for late-night Sri Lankan street food serves spiced chicken kottu and loaded curries well past midnight. Groups pile into booths after hours for heaping metal plates of chopped roti and devilled meats, while midday crowds stop in for the weekday all-you-can-eat buffet. Weekend visits bring made-to-order hoppers—crisp-edged bowls ladled with pol sambol and fiery lunu miris, finished with a mug of hot condensed milk tea.

  • Late-Night Street Food: Serving freshly chopped kottu and hot curries until midnight or later daily.
  • Weekday Lunch Buffet: All-you-can-eat weekday lunch spreads featuring curries, rice, and sides.
  • Weekend Hopper Station: Freshly cooked sweet and savoury hoppers served Friday through Sunday.

Before you head over

Practical timing, parking, and ordering advice for your visit

  • Arrive early or reserve for peak dinner

    The restaurant gets very busy during dinner service and finding nearby parking can become difficult, so aim to arrive as early as possible for a relaxed dine-in visit or consider reserving ahead.

  • Navigate street parking spots

    Free parking is available directly in front of the strip of shops, but if spaces are filled during peak hours, additional spots can be found further down the street lane.

  • Check item availability and late-night hours

    If you are visiting for popular items like egg parata or seeking late-night dining, keep in mind specific specialty items can sell out earlier in the evening, though full hot meals and kottu are prepared past midnight.
