Lankan Filling Station

Unclaimed

The cosy restaurant serves excellent Srilankan food. Went with friends for dinner. They didn't disappoint. Chef Bhagya has some magic in her hand. All the food we tried was excellent. I've never had such soft Pork before, it just melted in the mouth. Service was responsive. Outdoor and indoor seating are available. The portions were a bit small for the price charged for the food.

This was one of the best restaurants I’ve been to in Sydney! Starting with the food, the menu is so creative, well priced, and full of flavor. We wanted more of everything even when we were full! The depth of flavor and spices used were unlike anything else I’ve had. All of the mains were phenomenal and we loved the desert as well (even as a non dessert person)! One of my favorite parts of sitting down initially was seeing that their menu is nearly all gluten free and if it’s not, it’s marked (not gluten free). Nice for a change, but amazing options for any dietary restriction. The service is truly something notable. Sydney isn’t known for the best restaurant service, however the servers here set the bar so high! Our drinks never fell below half way full, they were so friendly and attentive, we had such a great time. Truly wouldn’t miss this spot if you’re in Sydney or you’re visiting and looking for unique, high quality and flavorful food with a great atmosphere. 10/10 in my book!

Eaten here 3 times; discovering & loving it more each time. We’ve been over the fine dining scene for years & I’m always on the lookout for well run, easy going comfort food restaurants, but it’s hard to find them. I loved Lankan Filling Station both previous visits but never thought it would be somewhere I’d go regularly because Wayne can’t eat spicy food, nor can he tolerate paper (reflux inducing). We gave this a go because we wanted somewhere different & it appealed having holidayed in Sri Lanka recently. As soon as we sat, I asked for recommendations with Wayne’s needs in mind. Instantly the kitchen was consulted & we were then presented with the restaurant menu that you order from (similar to Yumcha) - it had been marked to show which dishes were no go options ❌ Super helpful & there were plenty to choose from, which we suspected. The ordering process is lots of fun, superbly assisted by the restaurant owner who is an understated gem of a front of house. The other stand out about this place is their non alcoholic drinks offering. WOW! I wanted all of them - that is unheard of! Very few restaurants do this well. I love any Shrub & this Mandarin Shrub was so good. The dishes we ordered were awesome - Wayne even said to me he thought the food was better than in Sri Lanka!! I think that’s partly because we were so well assisted here ? The food is SERIOUSLY outstanding!

Excellent array of food! Best thing ever? The little fried jackfruit balls. I don’t even like jackfruit but this was easily one of the tastiest entrees I’ve ever had!!!
