The common misconception of South East Asian cuisine is that the hotter is defenitely the better.When you walk into ARALIYA, leave all those thoughts at the door and gear yourself for an experience you won't forget. Established for over 23 years, it is of no surprise that ARALIYA is one of Hawthorn's treasures.
From the moment you enter, subtle aroma of cinnamon lingers in the air and you are taken into a place where time ceases. The interior modern, yet warm enhances the cosiness and you will realise that this is no ordinary eatery.
With a surprising blend of spices,, Head Chef Sriyan Wedande has perfected the definition of fusion that you won't comprehend where the west ends and east begins. Mt Leura Lamb Shanks with roasted cummin and dates is the ideal meal for a cold wintery night or try the Jaggery beef so tender that melts in your mouth. To the varied seasonal vegetables ARALIYA is famous for, from twice cooked eggplant with dates to the unconventional shredded Brussels sprouts with coconut and mustard seeds. no vegetarian or Coeliac will miss out at ARALIYA.
Like most fine dining restaurants, ARALIYA is wine- centric with an inspired wine list that flawlessly matches the food; it is reasonably priced and extensive in range.
If authentic Sri Lankan food is what you are after, ARALIYA now offers, TRADITIONAL SRI LANKAN EXPRESS LUNCH/DINNER AT OUR INFORMAL DINING AREA FROM 18.00 PER PERSON, JUST GREAT FOR YOUR OFFICE LUNCHEONS.

"I think it was rip-off. The food is not bad but look how much you are asked to pay! The worst part was how the owner was treating the guests who wanted to try the set menu, because she was thinking that they do not want to pay much. I feel not only disappointed but also offended. If it wasn't because of our guests I would not stay calm."
"I had been wanting to try Araliya for sometime now. I visited the restaurant on the weekend and was extremely disappointed. The food is priced as if it were ' fine dining' but our table didn't even have a table cloth ( only some tables seemed to have the white table linen), ambience was poor, food was ok, but again, not worth the price. Portions were extremely small. Service was bad- had to ask.." more reviews
