Sri Lankan Delight

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular stopped by Sri Lankan Delight and asked the owner, ‘Do you sell curry that can make you invisible?’ The owner smiled knowingly and replied, 'Oh yes, I do.' He then reached under the counter and pulled out a small jar labeled 'Invisibility Curry Powder'. The regular laughed and said, 'Just kidding!' The owner nodded, winked, and went back to sorting spices—another day in paradise.

2. A curious customer approached the Sri Lankan Delight one day and asked, 'Why does your basil always look like it's dancing?' The owner smiled mysteriously and replied, ‘Oh, that’s because our basil is a bit of a show-off—it loves the attention.’ A regular customer nodded knowingly, whispering to his friend, ‘I told you they were keeping some secret dance parties in there!’

3. One hot summer afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Sri Lankan Delight with an unusual question for the owner: ‘Sir, why is your air conditioner always on full blast even when no one’s shopping?' The owner smiled and replied, 'Ah, young man, you see, my air conditioning isn’t just for comfort—it’s also for the fishes in my secret aquarium upstairs!' The delivery driver scratched his head, confused, but soon burst out laughing as he realized the joke.

4. At dawn, when most shops were still shuttered, an early riser noticed something odd outside Sri Lankan Delight. The shelves seemed to rearrange themselves just as he watched, almost like they had a mind of their own. Curious, he peered closer and saw that each packet of spices was meticulously placed next to its matching ingredient—cumin with curry leaves, coriander with coconut milk. It was as if someone had left the lights on too long, but in reverse. Eventually, a delivery driver arrived, confused by the neatly organized aisles, until everyone realized: it wasn’t the store’s shelves—it was just the Sri Lankan Delight’s secret way of welcoming customers.
