Amazing dinner! Service was fantastic -- just so friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. There was…read moresome miscommunication about what we had ordered, but they let us have the wrong food item (which ended up being one of my favorites!) at no charge. They do not shy away from the spicy heat, and I love it! The beef appetizer was too spicy for my (teen) daughter, but she loved the plain dosa so much that she ordered a second one. The broccoli appetizer was almost too spicy for me, but it was SO good! The chicken kari was actually not spicy, but incredibly flavorful. And the chili cheese dosa was perfection. I loved everything I tasted. The restaurant is tiny and a bit cramped. You'll be right up close against the people next to you, but you'll be so into the food that you won't mind at all!

Food: The food at Kolamba is absolutely exquisite. It was my first time tasting Sri Lankan food, so…read moreI had no clear expectation. But I was WOWed when I took every single bite of food. Each bit of my meal was jampacked with flavor. The roti was a hard on the outside and it seemed to be filled with something -- maybe potato? What a unique roti! The chicken curry itself was perfectly seasoned and the dal was exceptional with its caramelized onions. I will forever dream about my Kolamba meal; it was definitely my best meal in London!!! Service: The service deserves a 3-4 out of 5. Folks were kind but there lacked an attentiveness that I think would enhance the entire dining experience. Ambiance: The Soho location is cozy. It's rather simple but it's comfortable. There is another dining area downstairs too. Overall, I give Kolamba a 4/5. If in SoHo you MUST swing by -- you won't regret it.

Some restaurants feel new. Some feel strangely familiar before the first bite…read more That's what happened at Hoppers. The moment I started reading the menu, I realized how close Sri Lankan food sits to the food from Kerala and Tamil Nadu -- familiar ingredients, slightly different names, small shifts in flavor. String hoppers = idiyappam. Kari instead of curry. It instantly brought me back to the years I lived in Nagercoil (Kanyakumari) where these flavors were just everyday life. So this meal didn't feel like discovery. It felt like recognition. The food is definitely on the pricey side, so I went in expecting a lot -- and some dishes really delivered. The Lamb Kothu Roti was the clear standout for me. Deeply savory, comforting, full of texture -- the kind of dish that makes you slow down because you don't want it to end. The mutton rolls with chili ketchup were another highlight: crisp, flavorful, and exactly what you want to start a meal. I tried the dosa with chicken kurma, which was fine but didn't leave a strong impression, and the appam (hopper) with stew, which I wanted to love more than I actually did. I also had a unique tipple made with arrack and basil seeds -- refreshing, slightly playful, and memorable enough that I wish I remembered the name. A colleague ordered the whole roast chicken and liked it so much he came back the next day just for that -- which probably tells you more than any review can. Service was warm, the space lively, and the overall vibe relaxed without feeling rushed. Overall: yes, it's expensive. But for me, the best parts of the meal were deeply satisfying because they tasted familiar -- not in a generic way, but in the way food does when it quietly reminds you of another time and place.

I went for the bottomless chai , which is an absolute must and it was really good. They serve it in a glass , which to be honest feels a little bit convenient since it's piping hot. We got the chicken tikka masala with garlic naan (nothing to write home about here). We also got the Samosa chaat as an appetizer, which me and my sister both enjoyed. I also decided to get the chicken ruby curry, which seemed to be very popular across all the review platforms. It was.... OK. lol. Overall, none of the food here is bad. It's just I think this establishment gets so much hype for what it is. This location is particularly historic as it was built on a trade spot between Indians and the British; the place maintains most of the architecture from more than 100 years ago. Service here is pretty good too. We walked in on a Sunday afternoon and were able to get high table seatings.
