We were a party of three, and ordered a number of fantastic dishes. The entrees, mains and deserts were delicious, full of amazing flavours that went so well together. The staff were friendly and extremely helpful, assisting those new to Sri Lankan food with navigating the extensive menu.
The cocktails and mocktails were professionally made and tasted delicious. The meal was one of the best we've ever had.
Highly, highly recommend Araliya. Thank you Dee, for making our first trip to Araliya a truly memorable one.
One of the finest restaurants in Melbourne. Every dish we ordered was excellent, from the incredible fish cakes (with real fish inside), to the steamed barramundi, stir-fried okra and the pulled lamb and quinoa. And then there was dessert. The roast pineapple with basil sorbet was sublime, and my husband's chocolate mousse certainly brought a smile to his face. Thank you Araliya. We'll be back to sample more of your cuisine and very friendly service. And yes, your food is made with lots of love.
This has been consistently great over the years.
If I want authentic Sri Lankan food this is where I go.
The cashew nut curry with beans and the chicken curry is fantastic.
Attentive service to boot.
Awesome food accompanied by awesome service!!!!!! Love the place! The saffron prawns was full of exciting flavours, the lamb curry was a hit with the 6yrs old! Roti was great and the the egg hoppers as well!
Chosen this resto as part of the fork festival and it was really good choice. Foods are amazing excepr dessert parts. We ordered pork belly, chicken curry, prawn with saffron, beef curry, roti, egg plants, saffron rice, and Asian veggies. The star of the day is the prawn. Its fresh, tangy and delicious. Meats also tender and cook perfectly. We love everything and definitely will be back.

Got 50% discount deal so we gave this place a go. We had egg hopper, black pork curry, barrmundi and okra with tamarine sauce. Everything was pretty good we love the okra !
Incredible authentic food that got the stamp of approval from my Sri Lankan father. Must try the crab betel leaf. Will definitely go back for dessert!
Amazing new sri Lankan restaurant nestled in the quiet side of St Kilda. Delicious mix of street food and more authentic dishes. What I loved was that the menu indicated which dishes were vegan, which made my life so much easier! I had the vegan kothu rotti and the mushroom hopper (interesting combination but worked so well together). Oh and I forgot the amazing cocktails 🙌🏽. Would definitely recommend!
Friendly staff. Explained what’s on the menu and the other dishes not listed. Authentic Sri Lankan food. If you’re not familiar ask. Beware it is spicy. Enjoyed the dinner. Generous potions for the mains.
Beautiful modern Sri Lankan restaurant opposite the park in St Kilda! They gave a great selection of good wines but not many beers, have some imported beers. Food can be shared or individual, their seafood curry to share was pretty tasty! The Lamb could have a bit more zing! Coconut samba and chilly paste a definite hit!
Ahh the glorious Entertainment guide has once again led me to a delicious meal.
Expectations were low due to rating and the quiet dining room
What we got was a tasty meal with super friendly and efficient service.
Try a hopper and the calamari!
Awesome food and service.
Dee and Hashini were fantastic. Dee was able suggest and help us with deciding dishes which we highly appreciate. Highly recommend the restaurant and look forward to visit again soon.
