Hoppers

London, UK

From the team behind popular Indian fine‑dining restaurants Gymkhana and Trishna, Hoppers is a tiny but perennially packed casual restaurant serving a scintillating selection of Sri Lankan and south Indian‑inspired dishes. The big draw here are the speciality hoppers – bowl‑shaped fermented rice pancakes with crispy edges – which arrive plain or with a fried egg, accompanied by chutneys, pickles and a choice of rich curries. Prices are friendly by Soho standards, and the convivial space, complete with a buzzing open kitchen, is ideal for relaxed, shareable dining. 'The Hoppers Experience' set menu is the perfect way to sample the restaurant's signature dishes in one easy sitting: expect mutton rolls with chilli ketchup, hot butter squid, a curry per person, and your choice of hopper or dosa to finish, alongside vibrant sambols and sides. Meanwhile, the short cocktail list leans on Sri Lankan arrack and bold, tangy flavours, complementing the food perfectly.
