My husband I had a trip planned for Sri Lanka (not anymore due to the corona virus . We had a real craving to try Kottu after the many travel videos we have watched! <br/ <br/ We researched utilising Zomato and we loved the look of the menu and also the reviews for Hop Spice so off we ventured! <br/ <br/ As soon as we walked in we knew we were in the right place with many Sri Lankan’s dining in. <br/ <br/ The service was incredible and the owner helped to walk us through the menu as un-experienced eaters of Sri Lankan Food. <br/ On the weekend we were also lucky enough to order Hoppers which was super exciting! <br/ <br/ The food was served quickly, large servings and service with a smile!...
Hop and Spice is all about respecting authentic and rustic flavours from Sri Lanka and the results speak for themselves with crowds continuing to devour Hop and Spice's authentic cuisine almost a decade on.<br/ <br/ The extensive menu features Sri Lankan favourites such as string hoppers along with other exotic dishes you will not get anywhere else. <br/ <br/ We loved tasting our way through the menu. The Kottu roti was a winner. Roti prata had been sliced into shreds and stir fried with vegetables, onions, eggs, pulled chicken and lots of aromatic spices. A popular Sri Lankan street food, this dish was wonderfully flavoursome and seriously addictive.
Make sure you stop over when passing along the busy Ballarat road for some delicious Sri Lankan food. So glad we tried the food here as the restaurant was recommended to us by our Sri Lankan friend so it had to be good.<br/ <br/ It wasn't busy in our last 2 visits so the staff was mostly around at the back but when they do take our orders and serve the food, the staff was friendly and welcoming.<br/ <br/ We really enjoyed our meal as the food was flavourful and nice and spicy. Each dish also comes in big serves and reasonably priced.
Delicious Sri Lankan cuisine at bargain prices. The hoppers here are fantastic, and the cashew nut curry is a favourite of mine. The restaurant doesn't look like much form the outside, but the food is tasty and the prices excellent. Call in advance to make sure they are serving hoppers on the night you want to go.

I am so glad I popped into Hop and Spice by chance a few months ago, the owner and staff are so incredibly attentive and the food is just delicious! The eggplant pickle is the best accompaniment to the beautiful curries- and from the first bite I was transported back to Sri Lanka! Thank you again!
Great value tasty food! Ordered the kotthu and the chicken biryani. Fave was definitely the kotthu! Serving size is generous and was prepared quickly. Will go back next time to dine in and try the hoppers we saw other diners eating them and they looked so good!
We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at this restaurant. The service was incredibly welcoming and friendly, the food was tasty and reasonably priced, and the portions were very generous. We look forward to returning to sample more dishes from the menu!
With a rating of 4.5, Hop and Spice lives up to its name with its enticing aroma that welcomes you as soon as you walk in. Despite being established for approximately 7 years, the restaurant is currently undergoing a makeover.

This is the best Sri Lankan restaurant I've ever visited. The food was absolutely wonderful. I tried nearly every dish with my family and it was all delicious. The customer service was fantastic as well.
Enjoyed Kottu Roti Simply Delicious. Generous serving size. (Sunday start 12noon) . Authentic Lankan restaurant. Just like in Sri Lanka.
