Little Sri Lanka

Tompkinsville is the locus for Staten Island's sizable Sri Lankan population, so the food you'll find in the neighborhood is authentic, not watered down for American tastes.

Though Staten Island is home to a handful of Sri Lankan restaurants, Lakruwana stands apart—and not just because of the large stone statues that ring its entrance or the lush decorations, shipped directly from Sri Lanka, that fill its main dining room.

While its decor is minimal, the taste is plentiful at what is perhaps Little Sri Lanka’s most popular establishment.

Dosa Garden has more Indian influence than Sri Lankan, but this relatively new restaurant in Little Sri Lanka is quickly becoming a favorite.

Sanrasa Restaurant, formerly Lakruwana, is a success when it comes to impressing patrons—both with its delectable cuisine and charming ambiance.

Friendly smiles greet customers at this modern Sri Lankan storefront, about a mile's walk from the ferry.

This bustling Little Sri Lanka restaurant is everything fast food should be—unique, healthy and tasty.

A recent addition to the burgeoning Sri Lankan corridor on Victory Boulevard, Lak Bojun has been serving up reliably tasty, authentic cuisine since 2008.

Located on Victory Boulevard, the main drag of Tompkinsville’s Little Sri Lanka, this tiny shop is a go-to resource for all things Sri Lankan.

From the outside, you wouldn’t expect much from this Sri Lankan grocery store.
