Food: For starters, we opted for the Calamari Fry and we wern’t disappointed; spicy, tangy and full of flavour. The Masala Dosa was also exceptionally tasty and so was the Lamb Shank Kari. The meat fell off the bone beautifully. The item we most recommend is the Mango Slush, we honestly could’ve had a whole jug 🤤
Service: the staff were very kind and accomodating

Revisited @hopperslondon in Wigmore St for a meal with the new family as my bro got married so he and his wife treated us .

I wasn't that hungry as I just had breakfast so only had a little bit of a few dishes. The best thing was definitely the lamb shank curry (£16) good deep flavours with a touch of sweetness .

They have changed up the menu as well so there's new items. Other recommendations are the chicken wings and the devilish squid .

We had the private dining area but i wasn't too impressed with the service, nothing major just gaps in food arriving without explanation and having to ask 3 times to refill water is not ideal. So I asked for the service charge to be removed. Never be shy in asking for service charge which was £20 to be removed if it was up to standard. #halalfoodguytip

Hoppers Soho

Thank you for an amazing dinner service. Celebreated my birthday here and I'm so glad I picked this place. The food was so good, they've definitely perfected their Srilankan/Indian Menu. Their Lankan chicken curry and Chettinadu chicken were so unique and felt authentic. The service was really good too. Thank you for the free mouse chocolate pastry. Will definitely remember the food and the hospitality ❤️✨

I told a friend I would be in Lo don and he said that a food podcast he follows recommended Hoppers. So, I gave it a try and I was super pleased! I was in the SoHo location and the place is tiny but cozy. Ate jaffna jackfruit and paneer with pilau rice. Staff was extra courteous (they gave me the paneer “on the house” !!!)

Great evening - will be back next time and I will tell my friend he should really try it when he is in London.

Thank you!

An amazing dinner for two at Hoppers Soho. Neither of us had tried Sri Lankan food before so we did not know what to expect. We felt very welcome and opted for the tasting menu. Every dish was delicious and prepared with care. We will definitely return. Bineeta made our night special, we appreciated her care and attention.

The food here is truly incredible and I’m still thinking about it! The tasting menu offers great value, and has vegan and vegetarian options available. I recommend ordering a roti as you’ll want it to mop up every last drop of those amazing sauces.
Unfortunately, the physical setup let the experience down. Our table was tiny and quite wobbly, and the seating is so cramped, that  I felt like I was practically sitting with the party next to us. I’m also not a fan of the "card only" policy or the automatic service charge. If you can overlook the tight quarters and payment rigidities, the flavours are worth it, but be prepared for a less-than-relaxing environment.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Worth Every Bite (and the Wait)! 😋

I went to Hoppers on 5th Street near Charing Cross, and oh my goodness; the food was absolutely delicious! 😍

I didn’t have a booking, so the wait time was around an hour, but they take your number and text you when your table’s ready; super handy! There are plenty of pubs and bars nearby, so it’s totally worth the wait : grab a drink, wander around, and come back when it’s time 🍸

We went for the £35 per person sharing menu, which turned out to be the best decision ever. It included a salad to start, two starters, and two curries (one per person). For the staples, you can choose between a hopper, dosa, or rice 🍛

We were a bit cheeky and asked to swap in the spicy cheese dosa and they kindly agreed for the same price! We also added the bone marrow for an extra £5, and oh my god 🤯 it was divine a generous portion, perfectly cooked, served with kothu paratha and another paratha on top. It honestly felt like a banquet for two. Every dish was bursting with flavour!

The lamb curry was the standout rich, tender, and perfectly spiced. The chicken curry was okay but not as special. The kothu paratha was absolutely amazing too full of texture and taste. 🥘

The staff were warm, friendly, and attentive, and the lovely waitress recommended a cocktail that paired perfectly with the food 🍹 The place had such a welcoming, lively energy  relaxed, cosy, and full of good vibes.

I’ve been here before, and I’ll definitely be back again the food is so good it’s calling me back already! ✨
