Halal Reviews for Hoppers Soho

We came in without a reservation, started at the bar, and eased into the evening with a Paloma and the cheekily named Arrack Attack — built on Sri Lanka’s own arrack, a spirit distilled from coconut or toddy palm. From there, the namesake dishes took center stage. A hopper is not an insect (LOL, I am vegetarian) but a fermented rice-and-coconut crêpe, thin and bowl-shaped with crisp edges. Its counterpart, the string hopper, presses the same batter into delicate noodles. We had ours with kiri hodi, a coconut milk curry, alongside the house set of chutneys and sambols: coconut, tomato, pol (coconut sambol), and seeni (caramelised onion). Each brought a different register of spice, sweetness, or coolness — designed to be mixed, matched, and layered. The veg kothu parotta — flatbread chopped and wok-tossed with vegetables and heady Sri Lankan spices — stole the show, while a dosa added its crisp, savory bite. It’s easy to see why Hoppers has held a Michelin Bib Gourmand nod year after year: the food doesn’t chase novelty, it delivers consistency, character, and a rare taste of Sri Lanka in London.

Phenomenal food and service at Hopper’s. We went for a birthday celebration and everything we are was superb, especially the lamb biryani and chicken curry. They even gave us a free dessert which was incredibly sweet. Would 1000% recommend to anyone, and go again anytime!

Well that time the lamp meet , some of the pieces can't chewed. So the manager changed as to a chicken Kari. But also the pieces were included some signs of un perfect taking care. The hopper and the sauces was ok and tasty.

Amazing dining experience throughout. The food was beautifully presented and full of flavour. I had the set menu experience which was fantastic value for money that had a bit of everything!
