Fire And Spice Restaurant

Great service and amazing food whether you order at the restaurant or takeaway! Try their goat curry, it is really one of a kind! Always recommending this place to others.

I may not have a minimum of 140 characters .. sorry

Pretty cool atmosphere to have dinner there with nice Sri Lankan background music...excellent customer service with a smile. Very minimal time of wait after the first order. This is the first Sri Lankan restaurant where I have tasted the authentic Sri Lankan dishes. We were amazed how they have cooked the devil pork and devil fish..and it was very delicious. We also tried their mouth watering Koththo Roti too. We enjoyed the every second we were there. We highly recommend to anyone to go there to have a go..All the curries were reasonably priced..Our Next visit there will be the Sunday buffet night...all you can eat for $24.00(I think)...BTW, there is a Wine store next to this restaurant. BYO allowed...

Had the pleasure of visiting this excellent restaurant last week. We ordered some dishes off the menu including a fantastic devilled fish dish and a creamy potato curry. Great presentation and service. Good size portion. The prices were also reasonable.

Plenty of parking spots available in front of the shop and also undercover.

The owner was too kind and generous to offer us cake as desert for FREE which she said she baked in the morning.

The whole dining experience was amazing. In my opining this is the best place for an authentic Sri Lankan meal. Would go there again and also recommend to others.

Great food and great service! Very proud to have this quality of Srilankan cuisine in Brisbane. 
Coming from Srilanka I can assure the owner has got the right balance in adapting flavour and culture but still withholding its authenticity.
Highly recommend you to try "falooda (a sweet drink)" and "kottu (classical srilankan dish").

Fire & Spice - Coorparro, Brisbane. With plenty of Indian choices around the place, this is one that is recommended if you want something that is a bit different. My dining buddy is often up for that, and was one that was nearby. An authentic Sri Lankan restaurant in suburbia, Fire & Spice is popular enough with locals - particularly those with kids - for a no-fuss, relatively well priced feed. One of these reasons is the buffets that they have on the weekends (and that includes Friday night in this regard).

It was a Sunday night, which meant they had their weekly Sunday buffet - three courses of the best that Sri Lankan cuisine has to offer. Many suburban places have their limitations with space when attempting to set up a buffet; Fire & Spice manages better than most of them. The interior is pleasant and has a warming feel to it, plus several tables are able to be layered out in an efficient manner. Kudos goes further that this is an outlet in a suburban shopping junction.

For the buffet, that night there were several finger food starters, about half a dozen different kinds of curry, a couple of forms of rice, the side condiments of salad, naan and poppadoms, and - even though I was too full to have them after a couple of plates - several desserts and the signature, iconic hoppers. There is enough here for everyone, and it will be pretty hard to go home on an empty stomach. When we got there, they were still setting up the meals. Some of the pans were not yet open, and some were yet to be put in. It was not too early to take a start.

There was ample amounts of the starters: with curry puffs, what seemed like fish cakes (I think they were made from tuna) and plenty of tandoori chicken thighs, like most other cuisines, you could darn well fill up on the starters without any room for the rest of it. The chicken was great, succulent and juicy being able to be ripped straight of the bone.

The curries were more descriptive as opposed to other cuisines - like Thai or Indian - who have a special name for each mode of preparation. Here, it was basically what was in the curry. From the array, I tried a bit of potato, beef, fish and pork curries as well as a generous lashing of dahl. These curries, while not at "Thai hot" levels of spicy, certainly are a slow burn on the tongue. Each bite gets a little spicier, and even the starters have a distinct amount of spiciness to them. This is coming from someone who has taken on spice challenges, and often asks for the dishes at other restaurants to be really spicy (especially during cold season). In each, the bits of meat were well cooked and tender, the potatoes were soft and moresih and there was a complex masala of spices within the sauces. Even the dahl was as exciting amongst it all. To go with it was some delicious, buttery roti. Mix all this with rices on offer - steamed or a more interesting saffron biryani - and it is a great meal.

During the meal, both of us ordered a drink known as "Falooda". This is a drink popular in Sri Lanka and the surrounding nations that consists of: milk, rosewater, ice cream, tapioca pearls and jelly. Can you say sweet? I was surprised by just how big the serving of it was, and it is one drink that could easily seen some business at sweets, smoothies and dessert bars. It was creamy and works a treat; you could come here and just have that on its own (maybe with another dessert) and it would be a satiating number within itself. Well worth it for trying something different, and without that novelty still well worth it.

This is not a bad place. For something that has the familiar atmosphere, it works well to allow people to try something different. It can show how unique from Indian Sri Lankan cuisine really is, and is a great, filling easy meal for relatively cheap on nights when you do not feel like cooking. Fire & Spice is quite worthy of its reputation.

Excellent $25 Sunday buffet. Be prepared for spicy dishes, although they do have Dahl and cassava dishes that are not spicy. Most authentic in Brisbane. Taste is soo good. Lassi is also excellent. Book ahead otherwise you most likely won't get a table.

I have been here a few times now and each time has been a 5 star experience. Wont disappoint any lovers of Sri Lankan food and even for those that havent tried before there is plenty of variety both spicy and non spicy. Quality is always fresh and service is exceptional and very friendly. Compared to a lot of places it is reasonably inexpensive but you can get away ordering little as the meal sizes are quite generous to share around.

Yummy great Sri Lankan food, great for family out..
