Plan your visitAbout Lunuu
Sri Lankan heat meets Asian fusion on Payneham Road—unapologetically spiced and packed with punch. Regulars point newcomers straight toward the banana leaf boats, tender cuttlefish, and mushroom curries. Service stays calm and approachable, with staff ready to walk you through the spice levels and traditional names. Even better: doors stay open straight through the afternoon lull, right when the rest of the city shuts down between lunch and dinner.
- All-Day Service: Unlike typical spots that close between 3:00 PM and 5:30 PM, the kitchen serves straight through the afternoon.
- Sri Lankan Fusion: Signature banana leaf boats, fiery cuttlefish, and rich mushroom curries blend island staples with broader Asian flavors.
- Guided Ordering: Floor staff actively guide diners through menu selections and spice intensities in a calm, relaxed dining room.

Practical advice for ordering and timing your visit to Lunuu
Check Spice Levels First
Many dishes pack significant heat; if you are sensitive to spice, ask staff about spice levels before ordering.
