"Much like if you went to see Paul McCartney and left before he sang Blackbird, going to Sri Lankan spot Hoppers without getting the the huge egg hopper would be a big mistake. This paper-thin pancake-like dish is perfect for mopping up karis, chutneys, and sambols. As well as having some tasty food on offer, the restaurant’s whole exposed brick and warm light glow thing makes it a go-to for a low-key Soho date or a proper catch-up with your favourite person and lime-heavy cocktails. Book ahead to avoid having to share a table with a couple of strangers. " - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak
