Founded by “local hero” Shanaka Fernando, Lentil as Anything is a restaurant that reveals the complexities and generosity of its customers.
The restaurants have no set prices, just the request that you should pay as you feel.
This is the story of Shanaka and the volunteers who helped shape the Melbourne institution affectionately known as Lentil.
