Menu Highlights

Hyderabadi Chicken Biryani

$20.00

A royal classic from Hyderabad—tender chicken marinated in yogurt and aromatic spices, layered with long-grain basmati rice, fresh herbs, and slow-cooked on dum for deep, authentic flavour. Rich, fragrant, and perfectly balanced, served with cooling raita and traditional mirchi ka salan for the perfect finish.

Sri Lankan Kottu Roti

$18.00

A Sri Lankan street-food favourite—shredded roti stir-fried on a hot plate with tender chicken, fresh vegetables, aromatic spices, and egg, chopped rhythmically for bold flavour and texture. Spicy, smoky, and deeply satisfying, served hot and hearty.

Tandoori Chicken

Classic North Indian favourite—chicken marinated in yogurt, garlic, ginger, and traditional tandoori spices, then slow-roasted in a clay oven for a smoky char and juicy finish. Bold, aromatic, and perfectly grilled.

Sri Lankan Deviled Chicken

$20.00

A fiery Sri Lankan classic—crispy fried chicken tossed with onions, capsicum, tomatoes, curry leaves, and bold chilli-garlic sauce. Spicy, tangy, and irresistibly addictive.

Butter Chicken

$22.00

Classic mild chicken curry in buttery tomato sauce and served with rice.

Lamb Rogan Josh

$23.00

North Indian style slow cooked lamb curry and served with rice.

Goan Fish Curry

$25.00

Coconut based coastal curry with tender fish. Served with rice.

Southern Prawn Masala

$25.00

Juicy prawns cooked in a spicy and tangy South Indian masala. Served with rice.

What People Say

"Highly recommend IndoLanka for anyone looking for bold flavours, generous portions, and a great atmosphere!"

Reviewers consistently praise the bold flavours and generous portions of the dishes, especially the biriyani and hoppers.

"Really solid biriyani. Super flavourful, rice cooked perfectly, and the meat was tender and well-seasoned. Portions were generous definitely good value. The raita and curry on the side tied everything together nicely. Left feeling full and happy. Would happily get this again."

"We had Sri Lankan hoppers (appa) and chicken biriyani from Indo Lanka, and I’d say it’s the best hopper I’ve had in CHCH. The hoppers came with three sides of sambol, onion sambol, and caramelized onions. Definitely a must try cafe if you’re craving something spicy!"

"The Veg Manchurian here is amazing! The pieces were nice and crunchy on the outside and very soft inside. The sauce was delicious and spicy, and I loved all the fresh onions on top. Really fast service and great food. I’ll definitely be back!"
