About Hoppers

Hoppers was founded by JKS Restaurants and Karan Gokani in October 2015. The first Hoppers in Soho was inspired by toddy shops, home cooking and roadside stalls of Sri Lanka and South India, and served its namesake Hoppers alongside Dosas, Kothu, Short Eats, Rice and Roasts. The acclaim soon followed with reviews from London Evening’s Standard’s Fay Maschler and the late Sunday Times critic A.A. Gill who applauded Hoppers for its “seductive, comehither menu” and “spectacular, impressive, authentic, confident and swaggering kitchen”.The restaurant went on to secure its Michelin Bib Gourmand in its first year.

Following the success of Hoppers Soho, a second Hoppers at Marylebone’s St Christopher’s Place, themed around the iconic Tropical Modernist movement of the late Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa, opening in September 2017. Hoppers King’s Cross, the third and largest of the three restaurants opened in February 2020 inspired by the much-travelled coastal journey from Colombo, the island’s capital, to the historical Dutch town of Galle.

Our brand new Hoppers in Shoreditch inside the iconic Tea Builing is now open. Marking ten years since we opened Soho, our new restaurant looks ahead to the new chapter, with plenty of new dishes, drinks and stories to share.

In the past ten years Hoppers has won several awards and is recognised as one of the leading South Asian restaurant brands in the UK and internationally.
