Rook : Sri Lankan Fusion

We tried this place on the after seeing so many good reviews. It has a nice ambience and clean store. The Latte was pretty good and the staff are really friendly. Unfortunately, the food was terrible for the price tag. We were told that the chef was on leave so there was only a limited menu. I had the Sri Lankan Omelette which could only be described as home kitchen cooking masquerading as a upmarket cafe breakfast. It was so bland and tasteless and the presentation looked so messy. My wife had the String Hoppers and said it wasn't very good either. They shouldn't offer food if their chef is not around to deliver the best quality as they are just hurting their store reputation. If you're going to charge full cafe prices for your food, your patrons will have some expectations on the quality of the food. Great store and staff but unfortunately ruined by the bad food experience.

Had dinner here last night and it was absolutely amazing! Nothing to fault. This restaurant has a beautiful vibe, friendly staff, delicious food. Came here to get Hoppers and they were perfect. Also got the vegan lamprai and devilled chicken kotthu and the flavours were spot on. Thanks so much for a great dinner experience!😊

The owners were lovely. We knew little about Sri Lankan food and they were helpful with choosing appropriately for our tastes. I had a selection of vegetarian curries. My husband had chicken. We started by sharing a vegan pan roll and finished with an award winning desert, which was absolutely delicious.

The Quintessential Fusion Sri Lankan restaurant is brilliant. Loved the food and is a credit to the owners who came up with the concept. Highly recommend anyone in the Geelong area to come or make it a day trip from Melbourne. You wont be disappointed. My wife and I enjoyed breakfast on our way to Port Campbell and had lunch on our way back. Make sure to taste the selection of teas on offer. Well done!!

What a great experience!! From the wonderful decor, to the fantastic table service there wasn’t anything to fault. The food- Hoppers and String hoppers, one with chicken curry and the other with lamb curry, were satisfying and soulful to eat!!! We also had the Ceylon tea experience- peach and Ceylon chai- both beautiful and cleansing with in-depth flavours and well presented. Price was very reasonable also considering the hike of eating out here in Geelong. I would highly recommend this place and I will be back again!!
