Hop & Spice (53 Bedford Hill, London, SW12 9EZ) Very good restaurant, relaxed with a smokey atmosphere and serene lighting. Food was exceptional, not too spicy as much Sri Lankan food is but very flavoursome all the same. I was very impressed with the menu selection, encompassing all regions of Sri Lanka and for those that want it enfuse, a Western twist on certain choices. The Wattillupum (a traditional Sri Lankan desert) was by far the best I have had anywhere; being Sri Lankan myself and having travelled to Sri Lanka numerous times, I think that is saying something! The coconut lamb (kottu rotti) was exceptionally well prepared, my mother very much enjoyed the brilliant vegetarian dishes and side dishes on offer. I would definitely come here again.
