Crab Curry Sundays
Feast on Sri Lanka's famed spicy crab curry, dhal and sambol once a month at this award-winning Sydney restaurant.
Overview
Darlinghurst's much loved Lankan Filling Station is bringing one of Sri Lanka's famous national dishes to Sydney with its Crab Curry Sundays. The restaurant will serve up its special spicy crab curry brunch on the last Sunday of every month, and you should book into April immediately.
Apart from all the crab, diners can expect upwards of ten accompaniments and side dishes. Think chilli devilled eggs, onion relish sambol puffs, asparagus rolls, organic heirloom tomato red rice, dhal and papadums — to name a few. You can check out the full sample menu here.
All this will cost $60 per person, not including drinks. There are two sittings — at noon and 2.30pm — and the only way to reserve a table is by emailing this booking form to [email protected]. If you're happy to risk it, the restaurant also accepts some walk-ins on the day.
If you miss out this month and simply cannot wait until the next round, the East Sydney restaurant also offers a Sri Lankan-style brunch menu every Saturday (12–4pm) and Sunday (10am–4pm) — expect mango and cardamom lassi, sambol-stuffed milk buns and spicy bacon roti sandwiches, among other dishes, on offer.
Crab Curry Sundays sittings are at 12pm and 2.30pm.
