The White Elephant On Barkly

Had dinner here with my husband. We ordered the pan rolls, a meal deal which consisted of rice, two veggie sides and a meat dish which I chose prawns (extra hot) for, and my husband had the roti deal. He got the chicken curry. Our sides were the potato curry, okra and eggplant. The food was to die for. Really tasty and flavoursome, if a little oily. My only criticism is the wait... 45 mins for our mains to arrive is a bit long. Bill was $72 which included two drinks. The prices are a bit steep I must admit. Would highly recommend however.

We went on a Sunday night about half an hour before closing thinking of taking away but we were given the opportunity to dine in even after the closing time. We had the chicken kotthu and roti platter with dips. The food was excellent just like a home cooked meal. Was even provided with a complimentary chicken curry. Very friendly and great service.

Wonderful family restaurant that serves amazing Sri Lankan food. Our family of four visited last night on the back of Facebook reviews on Wefolk and Zomato. The reviews were accurate. It’s a small family restaurant that do their utmost best to accommodate your needs. Apart from the appetisers the menu is mostly gluten free. They accommodated our children’s need for mild curries. All with a lovely smile.Others in the area may have more visitors, but they’re the ones missing out!Thanks everyone.

Have never tried Sri Lankan cuisine before, but am definitely keen to try more after visiting White Elephant. We ordered the coconut prawns which were huge and delicious, one of my fav dishes of the night. The pan rolls were also huge and very tasty, and I enjoyed the cheese roti which was a great size for sharing. The vermicelli noodles were excellent, not oily; and I loved the yellow rice which was moist and flavoursome. We shared the egg curry (interesting), goat curry (nice if a little oily), and eggplant moju (tasty). For dessert, we had the watalappam (very tasty) and sago pudding (a little sweet for my tastebuds). The staff were helpful with food recommendations although a little inattentive with the water. Overall, well-priced dishes and a great dinner. Recommended.
