Drums- Sri Lankan Streetfood — Restaurant in Melbourne

Just had breakfast here on 28 Dec 2024.

The place was too loud with constant noise of the mixer and utensils and loud talking of staff etc.

The server lady dropped a soft drink can on the floor and it splashed all over the place and me. I changed the table and then the next chair was dirty as well

I ordered a traditional Sri Lankan breakfast which had Sambar. When she served she gave potatoes instead as Sambar had finished. I could see that when placing the order but she chose not to tell me that when I was ordering deliberately but rather when she brought food

And to top it all the lady taking the order was racist! When I asked for cutlery she told me it's self serve and pointed me to pick it up from the counter. Then there were 2-3 white guys sitting on the next table, when they asked for cutlery, she went and brought the cutlery wrapped nicely in tissues. Clearly she chose who to give better service to!

Never going to this place...

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...
