Lankan Filling Station

I’ve heard so much about this place and was so keen to try it. Although the service and atmosphere/interiors of the establishment was awesome. I felt the food was a bit of a let-down we had the cashew nut and chicken curry. The flavours were a bit mellow and the kick I was expecting never really came. It was also served warm rather than piping hot. I never had hoppers before however it seemed to go well with the curry and side offerings. A positive though is defs recommend the mu mu cocktail with your meal, it seemed to have a lassi style texture and flavour which is a great complement to the meal.

First time here the other night and was pretty impressed. Food was delicious, super tasty. Service was also attentive and efficient. We booked for a Saturday night and we did have to have the $70 banquet but that seemed like good value considering the food you received and you don't have to think about what to do. They also accept part payments - we paid part cash and credit card. I did have trouble locating it as the name is not visible outside, just a logo. It's located next to Red lantern on a corner. Google maps wasn't very clear.

A bit disappointed. While the flavours were bursting (loved the combination of spices used!), the portions were quite small and very expensive. The waitress kept talking about the hoppers, but they were quite bland and tiny and definitely not worth it compared to a rice dish. The small plates were VERY small indeed and weren’t special.

Was excited to try this Sri Lankan restaurant, but came away a bit disappointed. First off service was good, and provided good suggestion. However, the food was a bit of a let down. The flavours were there but the execution was a bit disappointing. We ordered 2 hoppers, a coconut roti and a normal roti to go with our two curries. The curries were great, but the hoppers were not crispy, coconut roti was small and the normal roti was single layered and thick for a roti. We also ordered a Faluda, a drink with sago, pandan and rose in coconut (yum), but the sago and pandan were undercooked. The food is still tasty but it is a bit expensive for what you get. Still a fun place to impress a date

Lankan Filling Station has filled up on its own hype. The hopper was hopless, surrendering to the curry sauce almost immediately, causing the 2 to blend into obscurity. Pork curry danced it's way through the chilli, the way a 50yr old dances to barnsey at the pub on a tuesday night. He gets it done, but no one pays more than a cursory glance at his mediocrity. The pan potato roll saved the day. On its own with the accompanying chilli sauce, it would be 5 stars. Unfortunately it's mates brought that rating down. Don't they always?
