Greenland's Cafe & Restaurant is a Green Island neighbourhood venue with the range of a cafe, dining room and licensed local all in one address. Its current menu moves easily between a full dinner, a lighter starter and food ordered for collection or delivery. The most distinctive feature is the way familiar New Zealand restaurant staples sit beside a dedicated run of Sri Lankan street food, giving mixed groups several very different routes through a meal.
The Sri Lankan section is built around kottu roti, with chopped flatbread stir-fried alongside egg, vegetables and curry seasoning. Chicken, beef and seafood versions add their own supporting ingredients, while an egg option keeps the format simple. Diners can also choose tender beef curry or black pork curry with flaky godamba roti, dishes designed for tearing, dipping and gathering up the sauce rather than treating bread as an afterthought.
Elsewhere, the kitchen leans into generous, recognisable mains. Fresh blue cod arrives with fries and salad, schnitzel is offered with chicken or beef, and a rib-eye steak anchors the grill choices. Slow-cooked lamb shank with mash gives the menu a colder-evening option, while green-lipped mussels in a Thai green curry sauce bring coconut, lemongrass and kaffir lime to the seafood side. Butter chicken broadens the curry selection without displacing the Sri Lankan dishes.
A meal can begin with house-baked garlic flatbread, shrimp cocktail or salt-and-pepper squid, then finish with a mixed-berry parfait, chocolate brownie or warm fruit crumble. The mild lentil-and-spinach curry, served with basmati rice, is a substantial meat-free main rather than a token side. Together with the snack section and delivery service, that breadth lets Greenland's work for a sit-down dinner, a casual shared spread or an uncomplicated meal at home.
