My son and I were off to watch a movie and he suggested going to Canra to eat given that two of his close friends are from Sri Lankan descent. The lassie and vegan dishes I had were delicious. My son had bbq chicken with rice and vegetables with his lassie. The staff person was friendly and kind. I recommend visiting this place when you are around!
By far the best Authentic Sri Lankan food in town. I highly recommend the prawn curry, pineapple curry and cashew curry. The owners are very friendly and work very hard to ensure you are satisfied with your meal. I would definately like to come back to this place on my next visit from Australia.
What nobody would line up for food at this Srilankan food stall?? It was so good, delicious and authentic!! If you like asian, Indian and Srilankan food, you must come here and try their food.
We ordered a dish of egg roti and plain roti with curry chicken and biryani with chicken, eggplant moju, fried egg and pickle as well as a cup of hot chai tea. OMG! They were really good and at a very reasonable and affordable price! Ask for mild spicy if you cannot eat very spicy food. I particularly loved the hot chai tea. They added ginger to it. It was way better than the chai tea at Starbucks and any other cafes.
There is an underground parkade at Tinseltown. Take an elevator up to the food court. You will be able to find this food stall called Canra Srilankan. I am not sure what else I can describe to you. You must try and experience it yourself!! If I will be in this neighbourhood again, I will definitely come back and try other dishes :P

Don't be fooled by the food court location. The food is what it's all about. I lived in Sri Lanka for six months. This is the real deal.
We've eaten here several times. We've grabbed quick meals before hitting the movies. I've had them cater lunch at my office and they've delivered to our house when we treated friends to Sri Lankan flavours. Everyone we introduce to the dishes raves.
Canra offers a full range of Sri Lankan dishes from curries to Kotu Rotti to string hoppers to egg hoppers to dosa to biryani... Obviously some dishes appeal to some more than others, but they are all good. If you're not familiar with the dishes they will gladly explain. Be sure to specify your spice level. Sri Lankan food can be very spicy - VERY spicy. Canra accommodates Canadian palates but if you want the real Sri Lankan experience let them know.
The owners are delightful people and will go out of their way to make sure you enjoy your Sri Lankan experience.

Tasty and fresh food. You will definitely love it.
The owner Mahindra came to us while we were eating to ensure that we were satisfied with the food. Excellent customer service that you will never get from a fast food place.
I've only tried the lamb dosa but it was great! Condiments served complimented the flavours well! Great value, friendly service and well balanced flavours. You can call ahead for pick up and they take debit!
In Metro Vancouver, there are only just a few places that serve Sri Lankan food. In fact, a quick search on Zomato for Sri Lankan food yields only five results. Located inside the International Village food court is one hidden gem that should not be missed. Canra Srilankan serves delicious, comforting, homemade style Sri Lankan food that is budget friendly. You know how people like to say for authentic Italian cuisine that it tastes as good as the way nonna makes it? Well, think of it like that for Canra except Sri Lankan-style. This three-generation family-owned and operated business has the grandmother in the kitchen. Here is a review of what my experiences at Canra Sri Lankan Plus.
My friend and I were visiting Vancouver from Seattle and simply stumbled upon this gem of a restaurant in the food court of the mall closest to our hotel. We were delighted with the variety of textures and flavors the proprietress laid before us, grateful for her understanding and accommodation of my friend's veganism, fascinated by the things she had to tell us about the exotic foods we consumed with enthusiasm, and amazed by the kindness and generosity that we were gifted with that day.My friend had broken her arm while biking along the sea wall the day before and the meal we had at Canra Sri Lanka Plus went a long way toward restoring our spirits before we traveled home.
Hands down one of my favourite places to eat in all of Vancouver.
The food is always delicious and flavourful. The owner is the sweetest lady ever! She remembers me and often comes out to talk!! She's also given me some samples as well.
The food is amazing and it's well priced.
I love Canra!!! I tell everyone about it!
Still in search of good eats on a budget, I was recommended Canra Srilankan Plus in International Village / Tinseltown by their high ratings on Zomato and Yelp. I'm a sucker for roti, so I went with "today's special": Egg Roti + Plain Roti, with curry ($5.49 for lentil curry, $6.49 for chicken curry).
Consistently unbelievable, no MSG, authentic spices that can only come from a 3 generation family run gem of a place. Standouts are Biryani (I love spicey hot + chicken dark meat + eggplant), Kottu Roti (Spicey hot chopped roti with fresh vegies & meat + egg) & Sri Lankan tea. All board items cooked fresh as you order but yummy pre-prepared to go items as well.
I started coming here because of convenience and good reviews, now it's embarrassing the amount of times I've been. The prices are so cheap, just thinking of visiting this place again bring me joy since moving back to the West coast.
Pay food court prices, but get top notch food and service ...
I am of Sri Lankan origin, and I brought my non-Sri Lankan friends here while on a trip to Vancouver. I couldn't have picked a better place have my friends try Sri Lankan food.
Food:
We tried the Chicken Kottu, Dosa with Chicken, and Biryani with eggplant moju along with mango lassi.
The kottu was the best I have had in ages. It was full of flavor. The only improvement would be to have a bit more veggies. Dosa was freshly made and delicious. Biryani was a little bit too greasy for my preference, but delicious nonetheless. The mango lassi was not too sweet like the ones I have had at Indian restaurants.
Service:
The owner Mahindra came to us while we were eating to ensure that we were satisfied with the food. Talk about good customer service. I have never had that service from a fast food place.
