“Just moved from Melbourne and was looking for a place to have some authentic food, it was 10/10 and the service was truly impressive.”
Authentic Sri Lankan flavours, comforting café favourites and warm hospitality in Rosetta.
Our website shows the food we actually prepare at 52 South. Real restaurant photography stays at the centre of the experience.
Homestyle Sri Lankan flavours with rotating vegetable and meat curries.
Traditional hoppers and restaurant specials served with Sri Lankan accompaniments.
Fresh savoury bites for takeaway, gatherings and catering.
From hoppers and kottu to rice and curry, our menu celebrates the dishes and flavours that make Sri Lankan food memorable.
At 52 South Cafe & Restaurant, we want every visit to feel easy, generous and full of flavour.
Our kitchen is inspired by the food many Sri Lankan families know from home: curries cooked with layers of spice, rice shared with several accompaniments, crisp-edged hoppers, chopped kottu and savoury short eats made for any time of day.
Alongside those Sri Lankan favourites, 52 South remains a neighbourhood café and restaurant for Rosetta — a place to stop for a meal, collect takeaway, meet friends or bring the family together.
Our newest photographs show the real 52 South experience — the dishes we prepare, the space we welcome you into and the specials that keep the menu interesting.

One of the joys of Sri Lankan dining is having several flavours on the table at once — something spicy, something creamy, something fresh and something comforting.
