You could wax lyrical for days about the joys of Sri Lankan cuisine – but you can also skip the introduction and explanation because the food speaks for itself. Luckily, thanks to Cinnamon Grand Cabin on Johnston Street, locals, workers and visitors in Fitzroy can now enjoy the real thing without having to travel. Already famous for their traditional Sri Lankan buffet, Cinnamon Grand Cabin feeds hungry and happy guests hearty curries (the daily changing vegetarian option is a favourite), amazing street food staples (like the unique kottu rotti: chopped godhamba roti tossed with vegetables that could be called Sri Lanka’s answer to Pad Thai), authentic traditional desserts (it’s hard to beat their watalappam, Sri Lanka’s national sweet dish of kittul treacle and spices in a caramel custard).
