Our Story

Hello and welcome to Lankan Filling Station where our food is inspired by traditional Sri Lankan flavours.

We're a casual eatery with a focus on hoppers: a bowl shaped savoury pancake made from a fermented batter of rice flour and coconut milk with crispy, latticed edges and a soft doughy crumpet-like centre. Torn, folded or dipped, hoppers are made to be eaten hot-hot, with an array of curries and sambols.

Hoppers can be eaten at any time and, with that in mind, we will be open throughout the day and night. Come for a snack or stay for a feast.

Please note we only take bookings for groups of 6 - 8 people, on the banquet menu.
