About Village Hoppers

Tucked off Thompsons Road, Village Hoppers dishes out Jaffna-style comfort food packed with punchy Sri Lankan heat. Regulars stop in for fluffy steamed puttu, hopper deals, and counters stocked with spiced short eats—from crisp vadai to peppery fish rolls. Takeaway rice and curry comes neatly packed with curries portioned into separate tubs, making it an easy road stop for fiery devilled chicken, lamb kottu, and chicken biryani.

  • Thoughtful Curry Packaging: Takeaway orders keep rice distinct from curries in separate containers to preserve textures and bold gravies.
  • Specialty Hoppers & Puttu: Freshly prepared Sri Lankan staples including bowl-shaped hoppers, soft steamed puttu, and savoury short eats like fish rolls.
  • Bulk Event Catering: Party-sized trays of fried rice, chicken curry, and potato curries accommodate casual home events and functions.

How are takeaway rice and curry meals packaged?

Takeaway rice and curry orders are prepared with curries packed separately in distinct containers to prevent them from soaking into the rice before you eat.

Can you place bulk orders for parties or events?

Yes, the restaurant accepts bulk catering orders for private parties, gatherings, and functions, offering large trays of curries, fried rice, and sides.

The restaurant is situated in a strip alongside a petrol station on Thompsons Road, with parking spots available on-site as well as along the adjacent street.
