Paradise

Paradise sits on Rupert Street in Soho and serves modern Sri Lankan food. The design, hospitality, food and drink all draw on the energy of cities like Colombo and Galle, where the metropolis meets the jungle, beach and sea. It is built more as an experience than a standard restaurant.

The food is made for sharing: contemporary curries, breads, hoppers and short eats, all ingredient-led and based on family recipes brought up to date. The cocktail and infusions list, put together by bar head Erin Mulkerrin-English, pairs old-fashioned practices with modern techniques. The wine list leans on an evolving selection of natural wines from sustainable and organic winemakers.
