"Sometimes all you need is a warming open-fire kitchen, clay-coloured walls, and course after course of well-balanced, deeply satisfying small plates to remind you why London is so great. Rambutan—a Sri Lankan restaurant in Borough Market—has all that, and so much more. Prawns cooked in a silky curry sauce over the fiery aduppu are a must-order, as are flaky rotis for mopping up every last drop of said sauce. The counter is the sought-after spot for a front-row seat to the kitchen action. And however many rounds of gundu dosas you get, don’t skip the excellent soft serve." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, heidi lauth beasley
