Sri Lankan and Tamil Nadu street food in Soho, from the Sethi family's JKS group — genuinely Sri Lankan rather than adapted, with bowl-shaped hoppers, kothu roti, and devilled dishes. The egg hopper is the signature; the bone marrow varuval, the devilled anything, and the dosas round out the order. No reservations for small parties, so come early evening before the queue builds, or at lunch for a shorter wait — turnover is good. It is bold, specific cooking that does not soften its flavours for a Soho crowd, and the wait is the price of one of the most distinctive kitchens in the neighbourhood.

No reservations for small parties. From the Sethi family (JKS Restaurants). The food is genuinely Sri Lankan, not adapted. Expect to wait but turnover is good.
