Lion Takeaway is a Sri Lankan restaurant on Heaphy Terrace in Fairfield, Hamilton, holding a 4.7 rating from 35 reviews. Customers praise the fresh, flavoursome food and reasonable prices, with chicken kottu, fish rolls, egg rolls and chicken fried rice coming up again and again.
Sri Lankan takeaways are among the best value eating around. Rice and curry — a few small curries served with rice and fiery sambols — is the heart of the cuisine, but the cabinet classics are just as loved: crumbed fish, egg and chicken rolls, and kottu, chopped roti stir-fried on a hot griddle with meat or vegetables. Heat levels vary widely, so it's worth asking when you order. Rolls and short eats make cheap, filling snacks, while kottu fresh off the griddle is what regulars time their visits around.
For kottu, fried rice and rolls in Fairfield, Lion Takeaway on Heaphy Terrace is a local favourite.
