🥐 Sri Lankan bakery in Māngere
On 12 Novak Place in Māngere. Everything below is what we could confirm from the record, plus what is worth knowing about Sri Lankan bakeries in general.
No opening hours are recorded for Udaya Bakehouse, and we are not going to invent a set. Ring ahead, or check their website if they have one.
Sri Lankan bakeries run on short eats: savoury pastries and buns eaten by hand, usually picked off a tray with tongs and counted at the till. They are a category of their own, not a version of a European bakery.
Turnover is the thing to watch. The good ones bake through the day and the trays are half empty by late afternoon, which is a better sign than a full display at closing time.
A soft bun filled with spiced fish and potato. The standard by which a Sri Lankan bakery gets judged.
Thin, stretched and folded flatbread. Plain alongside curry, or wrapped around a filling.
Dense, griddled flatbread of flour and grated coconut. Breakfast food, eaten with sambol.
Sweet caramelised onion relish. It fills half the buns on the tray and is worth buying by the tub if they sell it.
This section describes Sri Lankan bakeries in general. It is not a description of Udaya Bakehouse, which we have not visited.
Udaya Bakehouse is at 12 Novak Place, Māngere. That is about 15 km south of central Auckland.
We list this place because we could confirm it exists and that it cooks or sells Sri Lankan food. We have not eaten here, so there is no review and no rating, and we are not going to invent one. Nothing on this page is paid for, and being listed is not a recommendation.
