Drums Cafe

Generous servings, easy on the pocket and quick service. This is also one of my favorite place for teh tarik (pulled tea) and masala chai. Both teas are not too sweet, and has been "pulled" during the pouring process so that it is foamy and light. Masala chai is also full of ginger and cardamom flavour. I have heard of Kottu as being an iconic Sri Lankan dish - torn bread cooked with a variety of meat and vegetables. It looks like fried rice and taste delicious. The lamprais is a rice dish cooked in stock and served with meat and vegetable curry. Again delicious and generous.

Was initially super excited to see a Sri Lankan spot at QVM. But was shocked at the awful customer service and rude staff. Even as a fellow Sri Lankan person the staff were not accommodating or kind. Can't imagine how they treat other customers. Looks like other south asians eating here have similar bad experiences. Traditional combo didn't even come with all the things listed on the menu. Food was mediocre at best. Disappointed and ashamed to see that this lackluster spot is how Sri Lankan culture is being represented in Victoria.
