About CJ Sri Lankan Spices & Lunch Bar

Part dry grocery, part kitchen counter—this Klemzig storefront packs honest Sri Lankan comfort by the boxful. Diaspora regulars treat the counter as Adelaide’s benchmark for hearty curries and hot short eats. Between scooping takeaway orders, Shiroma and Christopher point home cooks toward shelves stocked with roasted curry powder and frozen scraped coconut. Weekend lunch packs clear out fast—arriving before 11 AM is the move before the kitchen sells out.

  • Fresh Takeaway & Lunch Packs: Hot takeaway curries and weekend lunch packs sell out rapidly by midday alongside freshly prepared savory snacks.
  • Sri Lankan Grocery Staples: Pantry shelves stocked with hard-to-find regional spices, specialty dry goods, and frozen scraped coconut at accessible prices.
  • Helpful Local Service: Owners Shiroma and Christopher are widely appreciated for offering hands-on ingredient guidance and welcoming conversation.

    Freshly prepared Sri Lankan curries and takeaway lunch packs provide robust island flavors and great everyday value.

    Great place to get a really flavoursome take away curry. Best value and flavour Sri Lankan in Adelaide.

  • Monthly Authentic Lamprais Special

    A monthly traditional specialty brings complex, banana-leaf-steamed heritage cooking to pre-ordering patrons.

    The lamprais they make once a month is an absolute must-order — always flavourful and authentic.

Before you head over

How to beat the daily sellouts and secure limited specials—check the website to plan your meal.

  • Arrive around 11 AM for Weekend Lunch

    Weekend takeaway lunch packs sell out rapidly due to high demand. Arrive around 11 AM to secure your hot food before trays empty.

  • Grab Short Eats Early

    Freshly made Sri Lankan short eats like fish and meat rolls do not last until evening. Head in earlier in the day to get your pick.

  • Pre-Order the Monthly Lamprais

    The kitchen prepares traditional lamprais only once a month. Place a pre-order in advance so you do not miss out on this signature batch dish.
