About The Fab Curry & Hoppers

Turn to this Bentleigh East joint for freshly swirled Sri Lankan hoppers, spun with crisp, lacy edges and soft, steamy centres. Regulars drop in for the Thursday and Sunday all-you-can-eat hopper sessions, trading bowls of chicken, pork, or dhal curries alongside fiery pol sambol. The dining room stays cosy and informal—a simple neighbourhood shop where imported Lankan soft drinks stock the shelves and plain or egg hoppers land warm right off the pan.
