Indo Lankan Food Bar - Heartfelt Sri Lankan cuisine in Sydney!

Every nook and corner in Sydney seems to be deluded with restaurant's and cafe's and the Seven Hills area seems to be no different. There seems to be a number of outlets serving varied cuisines at the Boomerang place.

We went over to this Indo Lankan bar to gorge ourselves with predominantly Sri Lankan food. This restaurant seems to be around for 2 decades now having begun it's operation way back in 1996. From a small family business looks like they have spread their wings wide and are now a full fledged restaurant catering to the locals as well as the large coterie of Indian and Sri Lankan population living in the city.

We ordered a host of stuff ranging from the veg patties and Aloo Bonda as part of Entree. Also had a shot of the Mix veg Kothu Parotha and also a Masala Dosa. For main course, I thoroughly enjoyed my course of string hoppers coming along with sodhi, dal and pol sambol. Sri Lankan food is infused heavily with pepper and coconut forms the layer of most of the dishes. If you're acquired to this kind of taste, you would love whatever is being served at the Indo Lankan bar. I found the idiappams made of red flour to be especially lovely being super soft and fluffy. And it was a delight to have Lankan style Sodhi, Dal and reddish coconut pol sambol. The dosa too was pretty good with especially the pudina chutney being top notch. The veg pattties and Aloo bonda had an overload of potatoes and wasn't bad. The Kothu Paratha was ingrained with spices and masala and as authentic as they come.

Overall the food promised a lot and it was nice to have a good ol Sri Lankan meal. Service was decent but could have been a touch quicker. The rates seem fairly reasonable. There is nothing at all worth mentioning about the ambiance. It's just a fairly clean place and more like an extended mess, just that it's a lot neater. The decor is really simple and the interiors have a few pictures as part of the walls and nothing more.

If you are fond of Sri Lankan cuisine and not too bothered about high quality ambiance, this is a pretty good place to check out.
