Walkway to Ceylon
Stones Corner
Walkway to Ceylon brings a delicious and authentic taste of Sri Lanka to Stones Corner, one of the few Sri Lankan restaurants in Brisbane and the only one with a menu that is solely dedicated to Sri Lankan cuisine.
The minimalist and spacious interior is bathed in golden lighting, with a video wall showing scenes of Sri Lanka, an eye-catching timber bar and an elevated space at the rear that is deal for large groups.
On the street-food focused menu are starters like Sri Lankan croquettes (tempered fish, potato, onion & Sri Lankan spices, in crispy golden fried batter) with salad & dipping sauce; or chicken crispy roll (crepes stuffed with tempered potato, onion & Sri Lankan spice, crumbed & deep fried) served with red chill dipping sauce & salad.
House specialties include the popular Sri Lankan street food dishes Kottu (shredded roti tossed with egg, vegetables, served with fried egg, tomato & chilli paste and curry sauce); and egg roti (Godhamba roti folded with eggs, cooked on a griddle and served with curry & traditional Sri Lankan sambal). Both come with a choice of vegetarian, pork, lamb or chicken curry.
Another fave is the chef's special coconut roti, served with dhal curry, lunu miris & meat or vegetable curry; and Ceylon bites - a choice of devilled tofu, chicken, pork, calamari or prawns, stir-fried with sauces, onion & capsicum; along with classics like nasi goreng and vegetable or mixed fried rice.
Highly recommended is the quintessential Sri Lankan meal, the 299 Banana Leaf Feast - aromatic rice with two vegetable curries of the day and choice of meat curry (chicken, pork, lamb or soy meat), served with fish cutlet, pappadum and condiments. The other must-try is the Ceylon crab curry (a Sri Lankan favourite), with traditional bread (roast paan) & coconut sambal. Then for sweets, try the Wattaluppum (coconut & juggery custard pudding with vanilla ice-cream) or the Chef's special dessert platter.
Drinks-wise, the perfect accompaniment are the mocktails such as Tama (tangy tamarind) and Mirissa Surf (blue curacao, lemon juice, lemonade & mint) or Ceylon black tea. Otherwise there's a concise wine list, house cocktails, beers on tap and by the bottle (including Sri Lankan Lion Lager), juices and traditional dessert drinks like wood apple or falooda (similar to a thick shake, with the option to add ice-cream).
Good to know - Takeaway is available. Kids can be catered for, with a choice of bowl of chips or chicken nuggets and chips.
Need to know - There is free onstreet parking available nearby.
