There’s a reason Sri Lankan food is getting so much attention lately – it’s packed with flavour, full of variety, and perfect for anyone who loves a good feed. If you’re in Noosa and thinking of trying it out, here are five dishes from RA Restaurant and Bar that you don’t want to miss.
1. Chicken Kottu Roti
This one’s loud in every way. It’s made with chopped flatbread tossed on a hot plate with chicken, vegetables, eggs, and a mix of spices. The sound of it being made is almost as good as the taste. It’s spicy, crunchy, filling, and totally moreish.
2. Egg Hoppers
Imagine a crispy pancake with soft edges and a perfectly cooked egg in the middle. That’s an egg hopper. You can eat it on its own, or pair it with sambols and curry. It’s light, tasty, and very different from your usual breakfast.
3. Dhal Curry
Simple but never boring. Made with red lentils, coconut milk, and a few key spices, dhal is a dish you’ll want to keep coming back to. It goes with everything – rice, roti, hoppers – and it’s great for anyone easing into Sri Lankan food.
4. Devilled Chicken
This one’s for the spice lovers. Tender pieces of chicken tossed with onions, capsicum, chilli, soy sauce, and a bit of tomato. It’s sweet, spicy, and has a nice tang that cuts through. Goes great with fried rice or just on its own with a drink.
5. Sri Lankan Biryani
Rich, hearty, and full of flavour. Biryani is a celebration dish made with spiced rice, meat, and boiled egg, often served with raita or gravy on the side. At RA, we make it just like home – slow-cooked and packed with spice and aroma.
