Loku is a cozy gem in Northcote, revered for its elevated home-style Sri Lankan dishes bursting with rich, nostalgic flavors. Guests recommend standout menu items like the crispy roast paan, scallops, chicken lamprais, and black pork curry. The attentive service and open kitchen add to the intimate and warm dining experience. While the interior can be cool, the friendly hospitality and mouthwatering food more than make up for it. A fantastic spot for those seeking authentic Sri Lankan specialties in an inviting setting.

2 weeks agoLoku now have a budget friendly $25 Buffet on Saturday afternoons and it is excellent. With 3 x meat curries and 5 x veg options among with accompaniments it doesn't leave you wanting. True authentic Sri Lankan cooking and the flavours were superb. Give it a try as you won't be dissapointed.

a month agoI really don’t like leaving bad reviews but I honestly wish I’d read the other reviews here before I came. Such a disappointing experience. The waitress was kind & friendly but the food was incredibly small & overpriced for what it was. Charging $14 for 2 tiny ‘Betal Leaf Tacos’ was day light robbery! The mains were also very small sizes & charging $20 was exorbitant. The beetroot curry was honestly just sliced beetroot - meant to have cream in it but didn’t have any. The Eggplant curry was very salty & the fried rice was in the smallest serving bowl I think I’ve ever seen. Finally the red wine was alright but definitely not worth $70 a bottle. Gave the waitress this feedback before I left. We left hungry after spending $70 on food. Very sadly will not be returning & would not recommend.

2 months agoThere were 2 of us sharing a fish curry and chicken dish. The fish was overcooked and chewy as was the chicken.that also needed some chewing. Very disappointing
