High Service for All Customer
Ceylon Girl’s is where you’ll discover exotic flavours expertly crafted with Ceylonese
ingredients. Angela Lord’s mouthwatering curries will have your tastebuds dancing with
every bite.
Ceylon Girl’s has become a dining destination for Sri Lankan expats and all those looking to
dine on authentic, classic dishes such as pan rolls, curry puffs, fish or beef buns, Kottu, String hoppers, Biryani. Lamprais and freshly
made crispy hoppers.
Angela and her partner started a Sri Lankan food truck called La Foodies that was named
one of the top five Melbourne food trucks in 2020. After outgrowing La Foodies, she opened
Ceylon Girl’s Café later that year.
A warm, honest, and simple place with colourful artwork and live music, the café’s all-you-
can-eat buffets are a major drawcard – which isn’t surprising considering everything served
here is made fresh using excellent ingredients.
“Sri Lankan cuisine is a melting pot of different cultures from the Dutch, Portuguese, English,
and the local culture,” Angela said. “I only use the very freshest and best Sri Lankan spices. I
make my own spice blends from scratch.”
Catering for private parties and events with live cooking is a specialty too. Book Ceylon Girl’s Café for your
next celebration, or let Angela and her team bring their delicious cuisine to your venue.
More About Our History
Who we are?
Sri Lanka now, was Ceylon then.
Ceylon was an independent country in the Commonwealth of Nations that shared a monarch with Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Netherlands and other sovereign states.
In 1948, the British Colony of Ceylon was granted independence as Ceylon. In 1972, the country became a republic within the Commonwealth and its name was changed to Sri Lanka, the year I was born.
Burghers are a small Eurasian ethnic group in Ceylon descended from Portuguese, Dutch, British and other Europeans who settled in, developed relationships with natives. Burghers may vary from generation to generation in physical characteristics. Most Burgher people have preserved European customs.
I am a Ceylon Girl and I am a Burgher
Contact with foreign traders brought new food items and cultural influences in addition to the local traditions of the country’s ethnic groups, all of which have helped shape Sri Lankan cuisine.
I have always been a passionate foodie. I started cooking when i was 8. Always eager to learn about. spices and what they did to the dish and /or the human body. Every herb has a medicinal benefit to our digestive system and our health.
I owned my 1st Fast food outlet, LULU’s Takeaway in Dehiwela, Sri Lanka which was affected by the Tsunami in 2004.
My Partner, Craig and I Owned a mobile food trailer which won top 5 Food trucks of Melbourne 2020, With our Food Van, We enjoyed being a part of Caufield and Mornington Races, Music festival, sports events, Wineries, Breweries, Functions, Markets and house parties.
