Reviews Paradise Soho

This was my second visit and the food was great but the portions are on the smaller size. Between the two of us, we shared the kimbula-banis (nice little flavourful bites), long fried aubergine (slightly sweet but complimented the dishes), the scallop and crab curry (really delicious), sirloin steak (perfectly cooked and excellent sauce) and some some paratha (this was a little disappointing as it came cold and not fluffy). Service was attentive too.

One of my favourite restaurants in London. Incredible creative menu and flavours are perfect - only criticism would be that by small plates they really do mean small plates, but for the quality it’s worth it. Particularly enjoyed the dal, pol roti and aubergine dish. Cocktail menu is good too!

Delicious flavour packed dishes that got me more excited with every mouthful! Monkfish crab curry blew me away and the grilled prawns were so good. Note bookings for 2 people are at the bar only so of you’re short like me is not the most comfy but after the food comes out that’s soon forgotten 😜 Will be recommending!

I would recommend if you’re like me - wanting to try new and interesting flavours and appreciate good design and attention to detail. I go to places to savour the entire experience not just to fill belly. From the moment you enter in the greeting to the moment you leave, it’s a wholesome experience. Every dish had interesting flavours. I expected spice and I can say there’s something for every spice threshold. I can’t handle much and the choices we made were good and mild. Overall impressed with staff attentiveness and flavour combination. Scollop dish was fantastic. Would have loved to try something sweet.

Paradise is a cute and super trendy Sri Lankan place in Soho. They have a really pared back setting and a select but interesting menu. The dishes were super delicious and quite unique compared to other Sri Lankan restaurants. I was especially interested to see rambutan featured in the menu in the form of a chutney. The portion sizes were quite small and it is fairly pricey with its Michelin credentials. But the service was top notch and the cocktails were great too! Definitely worth a visit if you are ready to try some delicious dishes with some unusual Sri Lankan ingredients.

Some seriously delicious Sri Lankan inspired food here at Paradise. If you love your spices, layered and intense flavours then this is the place for you, absolutely loved all the food and drinks! Highly recommend the steak and peppercorn curry and the kiri-hodi curry, great with appams to mop up all that delicous and intense sauce. Good service and kind staff. The mutton roll, I think could be toned down a little on the heat, I love my spice and even I found that hitting my heat tolerance, so reducing the chilli would make this great tasting dish accessible to more people as there are some other great flavours in there. I feel the prices are pretty high for the size of the dishes you get and could be a bit more substantial. I understand there is quality in the ingredients and cooking but spending around £120 on food and drinks for lunch (for 2 people), and still left a bit hungry. Also, perhaps extend the closing time of the kitchen beyond 3pm (maybe to 3.30pm)if you're going to accept 2:45pm bookings, as that doesn't you give you much time to settle in and decide what you want to get.
