LAMMA’S SRI LANKAN HIDDEN GEM
Despite The Waterfront's unassuming location - tucked away just off the Main Street intersection - visitors who take the few steps down the path on the right are treated to some of Lamma's most spectacular dining views, a sweeping 180° vista of the Yung Shue Wan bay. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, The Waterfront's diverse menu offers Western favourites including pastas,
burgers and fish & chips, alongside their signature Sri Lankan cuisine. True to her roots, owner and chef Ira Narasinghe cooks her authentic Sri Lankan curries from scratch, using fresh curry leaves from Lamma and a secret blend of herbs and spices passed down from her mother. Ira’s recipes focus firmly on flavour, though none of them use ghee, paneer or butter, making them quite distinct
ADD A LITTLE SPICE TO YOUR ISLAND VISIT! The Spicy Island that resides on Lamma today was opened in 2018 by Deepak Singh and his wife Anju, a tribute to Deepak’s father Amar, who opened the original restaurant of the same name way back in 2001. 20 years on, Spicy Island remains an integral part of the island landscape, with their tried and tested Indian recipes continuing to delight; Chef Deepak’s Brandy Chicken (boneless chicken cooked in Indian spices, with a dash of brandy) or Delhi
Murg Angara (sizzling BBQ boneless chicken in Chef’s special spices) come highly recommended, as do customer favourites Chicken Makhani and Saag Paneer.
Started during the Covid-19 pandemic, Deepak and Anju also continue to provide free ‘support meals’ to those in need, doing what they can to provide help and support to the community during these challenging times in HK.
