About Hoppers King's Cross
The hopper that gives the restaurant its name is a bowl-shaped pancake of fermented rice and coconut batter, cooked to order and served with tomato chutney, seeni sambol and mallung.
The Lunch Plate is £22 a head, ordered for the whole table, and runs three courses between noon and 3pm on weekdays. Crunchy mutton rolls filled with curried mutton and potatoes, or a yoghurt vadai topped with tamarind and gram crisps, open it. Then a Lankan chicken kari cooked with pandan and lemongrass, or an upcountry brinjal kari stewed in mustard and coconut. Chocolate biskut pudding, layered tea biscuits and ganache, closes it.
