About P and D Foods

P and D Foods turns out deeply spiced Sri Lankan homestyle cooking without cutting corners on key ingredients. Regulars lean on the counter for everyday rice-and-curry combos or order bulk party spreads layered with string hoppers and devilled meats. At dinner, the buffet spreads across 10 to 14 trays—tucking into kottu, egg hoppers, and tempered brinjal alongside a rich cashew curry made purely with whole nuts, entirely free of pea or vegetable filler.

  • Multi-dish dinner buffet: Curries, egg hoppers, and kottu rotate through a 10 to 14 dish spread at a modest $14 set price.
  • Pure cashew curry: Prepared without peas or vegetable fillers, keeping the spotlight entirely on tender, simmered whole nuts.
  • Event & party catering: Specializes in large-format event catering with string hopper spreads and bulk curry trays.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does catering and ordering for large events work?

Yes. Catering is available for events, parties, and functions, offering bulk rice and curries as well as string hopper menus. Customers recommend contacting the shop at least a week ahead and confirming your details, with options to pick up or arrange delivery.

Can you dine in, or is it primarily a takeaway venue?

While the Carlton Road location offers limited seating and has hosted buffet spreads featuring 10 to 14 dishes like curries and hoppers, it operates primarily as a takeaway establishment with Bain Marie takeaway packs.

What should you expect when ordering takeaway curry packs?

Takeaway rice and curry packs provide classic choices like 3 vegetables and 1 meat with rice. Signature favorites include their popular cashew curry and tempered brinjal (eggplant). Note that takeaway portion sizes can vary, and purchases are typically rung up as a single total rather than an itemised receipt.
