Long Lunch for Lanka
Sydney's top Sri Lankan restaurants are coming together for a one-off event to raise funds for emergency food relief in Colombo.
Overview
Sri Lanka is facing an economic and political crisis, and the country is in dire need of support. Inflation is soaring, and so is the cost of basic goods — and daily power outages are also making daily lives difficult. In response to this devastating humanitarian crisis, Sydney's Sri Lankan restaurant community is getting together to celebrate their beautiful culture and raise funds for immediate food relief to people in need in Sri Lanka.
This ANZAC Day, six Sri Lankan restaurants will be hosting Long Lunch for Lanka: Colombo Social in Enmore, Dish: Sri Lankan Street Food in Glebe, Indu in the CBD, Lankan Filling Station in Darlinghurst, Sri Lankan Bites in Glebe and The Fold in Dulwich Hill.
The six eateries will be collaborating for a one-off event hosted at the Plate it Forward Headquarters in Darling Harbour. Expect an array of delicious Sri Lankan cuisine from Lankan ceviche and empanadas to curry and spiced ice cream. Plus, there'll be welcome LongLeaf Tea vodka cocktails infused with Sri Lankan tea.
The lunch kicks off at 12.30pm on Monday, April 25, with World Cup cricket hero Russel Arnold on hosting duties. Tickets cost $125 per person, which covers a drinks, snacks plus a banquet feast — giving you a perfect way to wrap up the long weekend — and all funds raised will be going to on-the-ground charities.
