Lakruwana

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. The restaurant offers a fresh array of Sri Lankan favorites, from spicy lampreis—a dish of basmati rice, stewed vegetables and spices—to a thick lentil soup sweetened with coconut milk.
