Family-style Sri Lankan cooking in vibrant, relaxed surroundings

Hoppers Kings Cross

This place is located at the back of Kings Cross Station with other restaurants. The area is very swanky with restaurants, bars and the Google office. The restaurant itself is very modern and large. It is well decorated with a great vibe. The place was crowded on a Tuesday evening which gives you some idea of how popular it is. The wait staff are very friendly and welcoming. They are also attentive and ensure patrons are cared for. The menu is limited but extremely well tailored for tge clientele. The selection of dishes caters for most tastes and the drinks menu compliments the menu perfectly. The dishes are well presented and taste wonderful. The peppercorn chicken, chucken kari and chicken biryani are outstanding. In fact, all the dishes we had were of a very high standard. This is a slightly pricy place but we'll worth it. One small downside is that the tables are small so not easy to have your dishes on the table as well as whatever you have ordered. I will definitely be returning.

Great food and service. Make sure to book as it’s very popular. We sat outside and it wasn’t too cold. There’s heaters above each table and blankets are provided. We tried the hoppers experience for £35. Food was all very well balanced, flavourful and spicy. Portions sizes were good. Would definitely come back again to try more.

I had a nice meal at hoppers near King’s Cross. The food was tasty and the restaurant was nicely decorated. I felt for the price we paid we could have gotten bigger portions. The staff were friendly but were not as available as I would have expected, which led me to be constantly trying to attract their attention to order more food or get more drinks.
Overall a good experience that could be improved.

All good -obviosly if you are for Srilanka food- yet far too noisy. The place is actually cool and vibe, but perhaps too much: I could barely listen to the people next to me!

Still, the place is cool for the same reason: it was challenging to make a reservation and it was packey! We actually were kindly invited to leave after 2 hours as next turn was coming.

Food eas very good. We went for the Hoppers Experience which is a mix of selected house specialities for a fixed price (36£) which totallay ok.

I was not too kee. to come here yet I left very happy about it.

We had a mostly fantastic meal here – the food was so delicious we couldn't stop eating! Booking was essential as they were very busy. The big letdown was the handling of a tree nut allergy. My lamb biryani was served with cashews on top, even after notifying the waiter. The staff were apologetic and offered to comp the dish and bring rice, but I was given bread instead and the comped item still appeared on the final bill. Despite this incident, the quality of the food was exceptional.
