Sri Lankan restaurant · Victoria

"Perched on a busy intersection, this small, new venue is on the former site of Sekara, the Hoppers of its day. Well, not quite — but 15 years ago, most Londoners knew of only one Sri Lankan restaurant, though many couldn’t remember its name and referred to it as “that smart Sri Lankan near Victoria.” It wasn’t particularly smart, and neither is this — though the word can loosely describe a white table-clothed venue that’s not particularly cheap and cheerful. Here there’s a standard menu of good hoppers served with curries, and godamba roti with a choice of dal, curry or sambal. A few surprises include devilled wild boar, seerfish curry made from the mackerel-like fish, and a mellow, green chilli-laced kiri hodi, in which the ubiquitous coconut gravy is improved by the addition of eggs. Sekara was renowned for its Sunday buffets and — although this restaurant has a different ownership — it has continued the tradition." - Sejal Sukhadwala
