Sri Lankan hoppers
About Hoppers Soho
Hoppers brings the street food of Sri Lanka and southern India to Frith Street. The signature hoppers, crisp bowl-shaped pancakes of fermented rice and coconut, are eaten with sambols and curries; dosas, kothu and black pork curry fill out the menu. The room is small and buzzy, with a second branch in Marylebone. Tottenham Court Road and Leicester Square stations are a few minutes’ walk away. Bookings are taken for part of the room, with walk-in seats for the rest.
