KOTHU SRILANKAN RESTAURANT & BAR - Harrow

You're walking down Alexandra Avenue in Rayners Lane and suddenly the smell of charred roti and spiced meat hits you. That's Kothu calling. It's the kind of place where the open kitchen does all the talking—watching them chop and fry that kothu on the griddle is half the appeal. The menu's straightforward: kothu in about ten different variations, proper curries, and sides that actually matter. It's busy, genuinely busy, which tells you everything.
