Adoh brings the vibrant flavours of Sri Lanka to Covent Garden

London’s dining scene is ever-evolving, but every so often a new opening manages to feel truly fresh; and Adoh is one of them. Tucked away in the heart of Covent Garden, this Sri Lankan restaurant is bringing bold flavours and colourful plates to the capital.

From the moment you step inside, Adoh feels like a celebration of Sri Lankan culture. The interiors are warm and modern, filled with earthy tones, soft lighting, and a subtle tropical touch that immediately sets the mood. It’s the kind of space that works just as well for a lively group dinner as it does for a relaxed midweek date.

A true taste of Sri Lanka

The menu at Adoh is all about flavour – unapologetic, comforting, and full of personality. We started with Vadai, savoury lentil doughnuts that were light yet satisfyingly crisp, served with a spiced chutney that packed just the right amount of heat. Next came the kothu, a Sri Lankan street food classic made with finely chopped roti, vegetables, and aromatic spices. Hearty, moreish, and impossible to stop eating.

For mains, the black pork curry and rice delivered depth and richness in every bite. The tender pork was slow-cooked to perfection, swimming in a dark, spiced gravy that was both fiery and deeply fragrant. And while the traditional dishes shone, the menu also makes room for creative twists; like the fried chicken with curry leaf waffle. Crispy, buttery, and slightly sweet, it’s a clever fusion that somehow feels both familiar and completely new.

Beyond the food

The experience at Adoh goes beyond the plate. The service is attentive and friendly without ever feeling intrusive, and the atmosphere hums with an understated confidence; a reflection of a team that clearly knows what it’s doing. Every detail, from presentation to pacing, feels considered and deliberate.

If you’re looking for somewhere new to dine this autumn, make it Adoh. It’s an experience that transports you straight to Sri Lanka through its flavours, energy, and generosity. Whether you’re already a fan of Sri Lankan cuisine or simply curious to explore something new, Adoh offers a taste adventure worth making room for.
