About Ceylon Kitchen
Found at St Asaph Street in Sydenham, Ceylon Kitchen is a takeaway that has become part of the Sydenham dining scene. Its central position makes it easy to reach on foot from most inner-city accommodation.
Diners come here for quick takeaway meals. If it is your first visit, look out for classics of the style such as fish and chips. With 284 fast food & takeaway options across Christchurch, this corner of the local food scene is well covered.
Ceylon Kitchen opens 5 days a week and is closed on Mondays and Sundays. The earliest start is 11 am on Tuesdays, and the latest finish is 8 pm on Wednesdays. Like many traditional restaurants, it closes between lunch and dinner service on several days, so check the times before heading over mid-afternoon. In total it trades for about 26 hours each week.
For budgeting, takeaways of this kind in New Zealand typically cost around $10–$20 per person (Budget). The neighbourhood is a busy food area – there are at least 10 other places to eat within a kilometre, so you have plenty of options for drinks before or dessert after.
