Kurrypinch | Modern Sri Lankan Cuisine by Chef G

The Best New Restaurants in Los Angeles According to Eater Editors, July 2025 | Eater LA

"Sri Lankan restaurant Kurrypinch has settled into a new location on Hollywood Boulevard, east of Thai Town and west of Los Feliz. This is the third iteration of Shaheen Ghazaly’s cult-favorite restaurant, which previously operated out of locations in Van Nuys and Tarzana. At the new Kurrypinch, Ghazaly cooks his version of popular street food kottu roti (chopped roti with scrambled egg and curry seasonings), lamprais (basmati rice with eggplant and potato curry wrapped in banana leaves), and string hoppers (rice flour strands stir-fried with eggs, leeks, carrots, curry leaves, onion, and curry spices). Pair the dishes with a Sri Lankan take on a michelada with tamarind juice or an aligetapera drink with avocados, salt, and sugar blended with cold milk, served with ice cream. — Rebecca Roland, editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest" - Matthew Kang
