About Ransara Foods

Mount Waverley heads here for generous Sri Lankan homestyle cooking that tastes straight from a family kitchen. Bain-marie counters stay stocked with hearty lunch packs—heaped with spicy chicken or lamb alongside pumpkin, tender lentils, and crispy papadums. Regulars drop in for the nostalgic Gami Kema comfort, while weekends center on tightly bundled lump rice packs and crispy breakfast hoppers.

  • Weekend lump rice: Traditional banana-leaf wrapped parcels loaded with spiced meat, rice, and sambols, prepared especially for weekend takeout.
  • Generous rice and curry packs: Affordable counter plates heaped with lamb or chicken curry paired with rotating pumpkin, dhal, and cabbage sides.
  • Breakfast hoppers: Crispy bowl-shaped hoppers and delicate string hoppers served fresh for traditional morning meals.
