Sri Lankan
The menu is abundant and the portions generous at The Walawwa (we reckon one portion could feed two), a busy Sri Lankan restaurant that’s popular with locals. There’s curries, and noodles, and hoppers, and kottu, and chopsuey, and even fish and chips (though we would not recommend ordering this). We particularly liked the chicken fried rice with devilled chicken, which was devilled in so much as it was covered in a tasty sweet-sour sauce. The lamb lamprais, which consists of rice, sides and condiments (think prawn sambal) wrapped in banana leaves, is another Sri Lankan classic that delivers.
