Indian & Sri Lankan kitchen · Little High Eatery
Where India meets Sri Lanka.
Hoppers, kottu roti and devilled chicken beside Hyderabadi biryani, tandoori and garlic naan, cooked fresh in the heart of Christchurch.
Two kitchens · One table
Neighbouring cuisines, cooked side by side.
India and Sri Lanka share curry leaves, coconut, tamarind and a serious love of spice, but they cook them in their own ways. At Indo Lanka you get both on one tray: a crisp egg hopper with sambols, a griddle-chopped kottu, or a fragrant Hyderabadi biryani with raita and salan.
