Harden's says
A 92-cover spin-off from the original in Soho likewise features a menu inspired by the founders' childhoods in Colombo, including dishes like Mas Paan, Idli with Sambar, and Moor King Prawn String Hopper Biryani.
Harden's survey result
Summary
“Robust Sri Lankan dishes” (“could be challenging if you don’t like hot food”) feature on the “interesting menu” at this Soho five-year-old, which “considering the dead central London location is a good-value option”. Husband-and-wife founders Aushi & Eroshan Meewalla opened a second branch near Liverpool Street last year. Top Menu Tip – “slow-cooked beef curry, full of earthy spices and sugary sweetness”.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
