Paradise

$ | Soho Fodor's choice

London's top modern Sri Lankan spot dazzles with Ceylonese spiced prawns, Aylesbury duck leg rolls, authentic Sri Lankan egg hoppers, and fabulous char-smoked chicken curries. Located on Rupert Street in the heart of Soho, the diminutive space is a brilliant study in brutalist modernism, with its polished concrete walls, brown-leather cushions, stainless steel counters, and hand-thrown Tamil and Sinhalese typography clay tableware.
