There are curry houses all over Melbourne, with Indian, Pakistani and even Afghan specialities on offer, but few have Sri Lankan cuisine available. If you take a trip down to Albion Street in Brunswick West, you can visit Lankan Tucker, home to some of the Sinhalese specialities that are lesser found in Australia. That means curries – your pick from their rotating cast of beef, chicken, fish or soy with rice – and Sri Lankan takes on the breakfast and cafe classics that are beloved in Melbourne and beyond. Eggs on roti, Sri Lankan sausage and Ceylonese curry with poached egg and cheddar cheese. Fill up a car with your mates and head to Lankan Tucker on Albion Street – or take the train to Anstey station – for a proper fusion feed in Brunswick West. Book a table ahead of time though, as they do tend to get busy, particularly around lunch times.
