Bringing the delicious multicultural delights of Sri Lankan heritage to the heart of Canberra, head to Banana Leaf Restaurant on Akuna Street for an explosion of flavours, spices and colours. Take a seat and admire the vibrant collection of traditional Sri Lankan masks on the wall, while softly glowing cane pendent lights cast a moody glow over intimate tables and a curved bar promises a cheeky cocktail or two. Expect a blend of Sinhalese, Tamil, Moor, Dutch and Malay tastes in a creative combination of iconic dishes made with high-quality, fresh ingredients, expertise and a modern twist; begin your adventure with sago-crusted prawns in spicy mango glaze, with truffle-infused carrot purée. Move onto curry glazed duck, served with tempered chickpeas, pomegranate and ricotta for the main.
