A surprise discovery while visiting London. We kept looking for good food, and finally found it here.

Skip the Indian dishes and jump on the authentic Sri Lankan dishes for the cuisine is so rare and you will not be disappointed. Try the string (think of idiappam) and plain hoppers (think of rice crepes). Comes with a spicy potato curry (madras style) and a tangy coconut mash

Had the Shrimp Koththu Roti — very authentic. Great string hoppers as well. One of the better places for Sri Lankan food outside Sri Lanka

Sekara restaurant is a nice little restaurant quite near to London Victoria that offers good Indian and Sri Lankan food. My friends ordered curries which they all enjoyed. My partner really liked his lamb sag Balti — pretty much are everything on his plate. I ordered the string hopper fish curry which was tasty but the curry portion was a bit small. I didn’t think it was worth £12.95.
Service was standard and prompt. I would recommend coming here for a decent meal near the station.

I feel incredibly lucky to have found this little gem tucked away by the Victoria Underground. They serve authentic Sri Lankan dishes, not some homogenized mash-​up of South Asian influences.
Being Sri Lankan, I am incredibly grateful for this because while I cook my own native dishes from time to time, they are painstaking preparations to make properly so it’s nice to be treated to the comforts of home while traveling here!
The dishes are made to order, fresh and homestyle. I had the egg hoppers which are something akin to a crisp crêpe on the edges to soft spongy injera bread in the center, nestling a semi-​soft egg. They are a perfect brunch or lunch dish, and they were paired with some spicy coconut sambol (shredded fresh coconut with lime, chili, dried Maldives fish flakes, and spices) and seenie sambol (caramelized onions with savory spices and those same indispensable fish flakes). The mild white potato curry (made with creamy coconut milk) was the perfect complement to the hoppers and spicy sides. Such an amazing meal, I can’t wait to return there at least once or twice before I head home back to San Francisco!

Yummy Sri Lankan eats. Go there.
Cute little restaurant, with delish hoppers, green beans, veggie rolls, white potato curry, and fish cutlets.
My husband is Sri Lankan, and he is already talking about going back. Home style cooking is what’s up. Don’t miss out:)

I like it. Food was good and not too expensive. I was alone so I didn’t get to taste anything but the one dish I ordered myself (Koththu Roti). I’m not familiar with authentic Sri Lankan food but it was tasty for me.
No weird smells, and the carpet didn’t look old to me.

Pretty authentic food at this restaurant. If you are looking for buzz, this isn’t the place for you. But don’t read that as a criticism: the quiet atmosphere enabled interesting dinner conversation.
As for the food well, although the selection is a little limited, the things that are available are truly delicious. I had the potato curry, brinjal curry and the seer fish curry with string hoppers. I could have eaten double what I ordered, and got a real sense of comfort out of the food.
Great place for a quiet, authentic Sri Lankan meal. I only wish I could afford to eat here at least once a week.

I would give it 3.5 stars but bumping it up to 4 for the ease of getting to it (right by Hyde Park woot!). First time I have ever had string hoppers or seer fish curry but it was pretty darn tasty. The Lion Larger went well with every. Makes me want to travel to Sri Lanka for the real meal.

Why is this place listed as an «Indian restaurant?» Must have been first listed by an American, I’m guessing. This is a Sri Lankan restaurant, really the only one located in central London, just behind the royal palace. Last time I was in London, I decided to try ALL the Sri Lankan restaurants in the London area (7 if you’re curious) and that was a pretty fun adventure, but this is the only one that has a fairly decent décor, convenient location, and was able to serve most of what they list on their menu. Sinhalese or Tamil food is a little different from the Pakistani, Bengali, Northern Indian food of the Bricklane area. Authentic Sri Lankan food is going to be too spicy hot for most Brits or tourists, and even though my father is Sri Lankan, I could not coax them into serving us curry at traditional levels of spiciness, still the food was quite good. I recommend the chicken curry, cutlets, hoppers if they have them, string hoppers if they have them, and pul sambol. You can ask them for arak, but they were out when I was there last. Koheda Yanne? Sekara! mata badagini!

We couldn’t find a place for our party of 7 nearby, so this was where we ended up. I’ve had great Sri Lankan food in NYC, so was excited to try this place.
Yeahhh, this is a pass. Walking inside, we were punched in the face by an overwhelming smell of. well, feet. Not sure why, but it stank of feet almost the entire time. Seemed to be an ancient carpet that had never been cleaned or something?
Food was weak at best. One of my dining companions said that this was possibly the worst meal he had ever had — it wasn’t *that* bad, but it certainly wasn’t good. Service was on the slower side as well.
Veggie Samosas tasted like they were of the grocery store pre-​packaged variety. Naan was overdone and not tasty. Biryani (a veg and a chicken), to quote my indian friend, were «not biryani at all.» Kotthu Roti, my favorite Sri Lankan dish, was bland, and the chicken in it was too oily. Chicken Vindaloo (listed as «very spicy») was mild at best — no fire whatsoever.
I don’t really have anything good to say about this place unfortunately. It had a lot of business, so obviously people seem to enjoy it, but I’m not really sure why. The dishes we had were not worthwhile.

Summary based on 1 dinner:
–decent Sri Lankan food in central London
–ok service, don’t come with high expectations
–ok prices
–easy walk from Victoria
–extra star for relatively rare Sri Lankan food in central city.
Food can be authentically spicy, which is to say hotter than normal for European palate. Wine is probably a non-​starter here. Beer works well.

Just north of Victoria Station, Cheap Eats promised us some excellent and cheap Indian/​Sri Lankan food. Sekara is the tiniest of tiny little restaurants, but once I was wedged into my tiny space on the tiny chair at our tiny table, I began to relax and enjoy myself.
The place was packed, which is always a good sign. Our waiter was prompt, and in no time we had made our choices. Our order was taken, and off it went to the kitchen.
However, this is not a restaurant in a hurry. Everything was made to order, and we were there for hours. Waiting, drinking, and warming up, because it was f*in cold outside.
Finally, the food arrived, and it was very good! Such an assortment of flavors, unlike some places where all the dishes end up tasting the same. We polished off everything.
Next time we come to London, we are definitely going to remember this place and pay a visit. Maybe we’ll even bring friends. But not too many.

Small and pretty unassuming Sri Lankan restaurant. Definitely worth a try if you fancy a change from Indian curry. The décor is a bit staid but staff friendly. There are letter of commendation from the Sri Lankan High commissioner and also the friends of Sri Lanka society on the wall. I think they are likely to know what’s what. £25 gave me 3 veggie dishes; 2 Sri Lanka style chapatti called godmabaroti and a nice Sri Lankan imported beer. Okra was okay but brinjal/​aubergine curry mind blowing. The biryani is popular but I didn’t have one
