Hoppers King's Cross

Hoppers provides a vibrant escape into the world of Sri Lankan cuisine, located at the buzzing intersection of St. Pancras Square. The restaurant's ambience is lively yet cozy, featuring beautiful decor that embraces its culinary heritage. The menu reads like a journey through the streets of Colombo with dishes such as the rich mutton roll, sizzling hot butter squid, and velvety lamb kothu roti. For vegetarian enthusiasts, offerings like the aubergine kari and dhal provide a flavorful, if saucy, experience. While the prawn Mari was met with mixed reviews for its scant quantity, the lamb curry emerged as a crowd favorite with its deep, spicy notes. House-made cocktails such as the pandan negroni intrigue, though the diners might be better served with wine or beer given the ice-heavy concoctions. Despite occasional service quirks and the bustling atmosphere necessitating a swift meal, Hoppers offers an adventure in taste that's a testament to the bold favorites of South Asian gastronomy.
