"Queens Lanka, a rare Sri Lankan restaurant and grocery store in Jamaica, Queens, offers traditional Sri Lankan comfort foods like banana leaf-wrapped lamprais and kottu. Opened by former Staten Island restaurant veterans Rasika Wetthasinghe and Suchira Wijayarathne, the venue has become a reminder of home for many in the local Sri Lankan community. With a focus on authentic spice levels and seasonings, the restaurant serves complex dishes, including a bestseller lamprais and various other entrees and snacks. The venue operates both as a restaurant and a grocery store, stocking Sri Lankan imports and offering halal meats to cater to the local Muslim population." - Caroline Shin
