Hoppers Soho

β˜… 4.6 (4,086)$$ Β· Mid-range

Hoppers brings Sri Lankan and South Indian street food into a stylish but energetic Soho setting, and the egg hopper β€” crispy at the edges, soft in the centre, with a perfectly cooked egg β€” comes up repeatedly as the dish reviewers say defines the meal. Sides like chilli garlic broccoli also get specific praise, suggesting a menu strong well beyond its signature dish. At 4.6 stars, mid-range pricing, and over 4,000 reviews, it's proven itself as one of Soho's most consistently popular restaurants, suited to a fast-paced, flavour-packed lunch or dinner for couples, friends, or solo diners. Expect a lively, often full room rather than a quiet meal.

What people say

"Fantastic restaurant serving Sri Lankan themed food! The meal we ate at Hoppers Soho was delicious. I started with the Chilli Garlic Brocoli, which I would have happily had as a main course as it was very tasty. For a main course, I opted for the Kerala Fish Kari, and again, the flavours were amazing. We also shared a variety of sides and some rotis. The portion sizes are perfect, and coupled with the sides, made for a fantastic and tasty food experience - I would definitely recommend Hoppers Soho if you are looking for great food, and the staff are also very friendly and helpful with menu recommendations!"
