Kandy Corner is a Sri Lankan restaurant on Frederick Street in Hillsborough, Auckland, rated 4.7 from 100 Google reviews. Reviewers call the food authentic, home-style and generously portioned, with kottu, hoppers and rice and curry mentioned often. Sri Lankan cooking stands apart from Indian: rice and curry means a spread of small dishes — dhal, a fish or meat curry, a fiery sambol — sharing one plate. Kottu, chopped roti worked over a hotplate with two metal blades, is as much a sound as a dish, and regulars eat it straight off the griddle. Hoppers — bowl-shaped rice-flour crêpes, often with an egg set in the base — and short eats, the small rolls and pastries, round out a proper spread. Chilli heat is usually adjustable; say how brave you feel. One reviewer came home from a Sri Lankan holiday craving exactly this and found it here — Hillsborough locals need not travel nearly so far.
