There’s dhal, and then there’s Amma’s Dhal.
Made to Shaun’s family recipe, this is the creamy, comforting, scoop-it-up-with-everything kind of dhal we could eat any day of the week.
Great with a crispy hopper. Also perfect with freshly steamed string hoppers. Honestly, we’re not here to choose sides.
Just make sure you get enough to mop up every last bit.

We take our curries pretty seriously around here. Dark roasted curry powder and fenugreek in the chicken. Ceylon cinnamon and black mustard with the goat. Lemongrass and tomato with Mooloolaba mackerel.
The hard work happens in the kitchen. Your job is considerably easier.

Amma didn’t raise us to skip dessert.
Our Blueberry Pavlova comes with curry leaf custard and fresh mint. It's light, creamy, a little fruity and very easy to keep “just having one more spoon” of.

We’ve been keeping this one under wraps…🔥🔥
GINI is bringing the heat from Colombo to Colombo Social for the very first time.
Named after Gindara, the Sinhala word for fire, GINI is widely recognised as Sri Lanka’s pioneering restaurant dedicated to live-fire, outdoor-kitchen cooking, and known for showcasing the country’s finest ingredients.
For two nights only, they’ll be taking over our kitchen with a 7-course shared menu, bringing GINI’s signature style together with some of Australia’s finest seasonal produce.
📅 3rd & 4th October
📍Colombo Social

Sticky Lamb Ribs with Jaffna spice and tamarind glaze. Sweet, spicy, sticky and absolutely not a knife-and-fork situation.

Take 20% off our set menu every Tuesday and get the table properly covered. Hoppers, short eats, curries, sambols and all the good stuff in between, made for sharing the way Amma intended.
This is more than a meal, every table helps support Plate It Forward's work creating jobs and providing meals to communities who need them the most.
Good food doing good things.

In partnership with Dilmah Australia, we've reimagined the classic high tea with a Sri Lankan twist. Think handcrafted savoury bites, sweet treats, unlimited premium Dilmah tea and the option to add free-flowing cocktails or mocktails inspired by the same iconic teas.
The best part? Every High Tea booked helps donate 10 meals to Harvest², supporting school children across Sri Lanka's East Coast.
Available every Saturday and Sunday from 12–4pm.

Our food is shaped by tradition, but it isn't afraid to have a little fun.
Alongside the Sri Lankan dishes generations have grown up with, you'll find playful creations that blend Australian produce with the bold flavours of the island.
Familiar for some, completely new for others, but always made to bring people together.
