About Lion Bake House & Food

Grab Sri Lankan bakery staples, hot curries, and freshly flipped egg roti on Princes Highway. Pastry cases brim with short eats—peppery fish buns and seeni sambal pastries. Along the counter, steaming bain-maries hold fragrant rice and vegetable curries for a quick lunch. Regulars order the egg roti made fresh on the flat-top, drowning it in rich gravy.

  • Fresh egg roti: Folded and cooked directly on the griddle to order, served soaked in savoury curry gravy.
  • Bakery short eats: Counter cases stay stocked with savory fish buns, egg pastries, and loaves of roast bread.
  • Hot bain-marie curries: Fast takeaway plates loaded with daily curries like creamy yam and spiced capsicum.

Why Choose Lion Bake House & Food

Why locals choose Lion Bake House & Food for daily bakery staples, swift lunches, and authentic Sri Lankan fare.

  • Fresh Egg Roti Made to Order

    Lion Bake House prepares egg roti directly on the flat-top to order rather than holding pre-cooked flatbreads in warmers.

    I always come to get a fresh egg roti that is made right in front of you to order.

  • Fresh Daily Short Eats and Breads

    Traditional short eats like fish buns, roasted bread, and sambal pastries are freshly baked daily for quick takeaway.

    The fish buns and other short eats are tasty and worth trying.

  • Fast and Reliable Lunch Option

    Dine-in and takeaway patrons can grab a swift, generous meal of curries, short eats, or fried rice during short midday windows.

    Very fresh and tasty food, friendly service and a great place for a quick lunch.

Before you head over

Tips on ordering specialties, timing your visit, and pairing bakery favorites

  • Order Saturday leaf rice in advance

    Specific items like the plantain or banana leaf rice packs sell quickly and are a Saturday specialty; calling in to place an order in advance ensures availability.

  • Pair made-to-order egg roti with gravy

    When ordering the made-to-order egg roti at the counter, ask to have it plated with gravy for the traditional pairing.

  • Arrive early for hot curry selections

    The daily bain-marie offers generous curry selections alongside bakery short eats, but note that the shop closes relatively early in the day.
