Colombo Social As Amma always says, nobody should eat alone.
(216)

Our menu celebrates the sharing tradition of Sri Lankan cuisine, blending recipes from Amma’s (Mum's) kitchen with playful snacks inspired by Sri Lanka’s vibrant street food culture and a few Sydney twists. Colombo Social is a social enterprise kitchen, serving up soulful Sri Lankan food and vibrant cocktails while providing employment opportunities, practical experience and training for people seeking asylum.

We know you came for the curry, but don’t sleep on everything that comes before it.

Goat Curry Pan Rolls with katta hot sauce, Sticky Lamb Ribs glazed with tamarind, Potato Scallops dusted in Lankan chicken salt and Hot Butter Octopus with prawn and chilli sambol.

Consider it the warm-up. 🇱🇰

A meal can change the course of a child’s day.

Shaun’s mum, Shiranie, is originally from Sri Lanka’s East Coast, so this part of the country has always meant a lot to his family. Going back, meeting the kids and seeing firsthand the challenges they face really hit home.

For some families, the choice can be between sending their child to school or making sure they have enough to eat. That became the foundation for Harvest²: making sure school kids can get a nutritious meal every day.

Together with Dilmah Tea and the MJF Charitable Foundation, the program now feeds more than 2,700 children each day across rural schools on the East Coast, while creating paid work for female farmers and local mothers.

Food here is more than food. It’s care, dignity and showing these kids that they matter.

And if you join us for Sri Lankan High Tea at Colombo Social, you’ll help provide 10 meals through Harvest². ❤️

A good Sri Lankan curry deserves a big scoop of rice and something to mop up all that sauce.

Grab some roti, add a hopper if you know what’s good for you, get a few curries in the middle and share the lot.

That’s dinner sorted.

Sri Lanka in your glass, Enmore out the window. 🇱🇰

Our cocktails take a little inspiration from home, with Sri Lankan spices, tea and tropical flavours finding their way behind the bar.

A little Colombo in every pour.

Birthdays, team dinners, long lunches or just a very good excuse to get everyone around the same table.

Bring a few friends or bring the whole crew, with group dining, a semi-private space for up to 26, and full venue hire for 60 seated or 80 standing.

We’ll bring the Sri Lankan feast and plenty of Colombo hospitality.

In a Sri Lankan home, dhal is the kind of dish that’s always somewhere on the table.

Warm, comforting and made to be scooped up with rice or roti, it’s the food you grow up eating and somehow never get tired of.

Ours is Amma’s Dhal. No explanation necessary.

Each weekend, we bring a little taste of Sri Lanka to Enmore with our Sri Lankan High Tea, created together with our friends at Dilmah. 🇱🇰

The table is filled with sweet and savoury Sri Lankan bites alongside Dilmah teas, and for every High Tea enjoyed, 10 meals are donated through Harvest² to help feed children across Sri Lanka’s East Coast.

Saturdays & Sundays, 12–4pm.

Our Softshell Crab Roti Taco has become a bit of a Colombo icon: crispy softshell crab, papaya salsa, pol sambol and chilli mayo tucked into warm roti.

If you haven’t tried it yet, you know what to order next time.

Australia has always been part of GINI’s story. Now they’re bringing GINI back with them. 🔥

Having all studied and worked here at some point in their lives, the team behind GINI knows Australia well. This October, they’re returning with a little piece of Colombo, taking over our kitchen and sharing the food, flavours and stories that have shaped GINI.

Expect a 7-course shared menu bringing together bold Sri Lankan flavours, their signature cooking over fire and the best of the Australian season.

A little Colombo nostalgia, a lot of fire, and one table we think you’ll want to be at.

📅 3 & 4 October

Hot butter makes just about everything better.
Especially when it's coating Fremantle octopus, finished with prawn and chilli sambol and a hit of fresh lime. Trust us on this one.

Kottu Roti is one of those things you don’t just eat. You hear it first.

On Shaun’s recent trip back to Sri Lanka, he stopped by the OG Pillawoos in Colombo, established in 1979, to watch the masters at work and deep dive into all things Kottu.

Chopped roti, curry, chicken, spice, heat, noise, chaos, rhythm - Kottu at its purest.

It’s been the inspiration for our Kottu at Colombo Social. Loud, chopped up, spicy, and ready for your next fix!

Got a few more people coming to dinner than your dining table can handle?

Our semi-private dining space is made for long lunches, big dinners, birthdays, celebrations and any excuse to get everyone around the same table.

Tucked away from the buzz of the restaurant but still very much part of the Colombo Social atmosphere, it’s your own little corner for up to 26 guests.

Bring your favourite people. We’ll take care of the feast. 🇱🇰
