A seat at our table

Sri Lankan,Close to Home

Authentic Sri Lankan cooking and a glowing dessert cabinet, here in Cranbourne West.

Lotus is run hands-on by owners who greet you at the door and check that you are looked after.

Guests who grew up on this food tell us it tastes like home, and that is exactly what we set out to cook.

What you'll find

A Buffet and So Much More

Help yourself to a spread of rice and curries, devilled dishes, short eats, pappadams and pol sambol, or order kottu and a milkshake to share.

The spice is balanced rather than fierce, so it is easy to enjoy whether Sri Lankan food is familiar or brand new to you.

Guest favourites

A handful of the dishes guests come back for, just a taste of what is on the table.

Thick, topped and a classic alongside a plate of kottu.

Tossed with onion, capsicum and dried chilli for a sweet, hot, sticky bite.

Golden, crumbed and made to disappear before the mains arrive.

The pappadams, rolls and savoury bites that round out every Sri Lankan table.

Crisp, buttery and moreish, a first-timer favourite worth ordering.

A glass cabinet of layered cakes and sweets that the kids cannot stop staring at.
