Rambutan may well be the best spot for Tamil/Sri Lankan cuisine in London, and its current popularity would suggest that many in Albion’s capital agree. Always packed to the rafters, they accept walk-ins, though reserving on-line before you go might be more prudent; that much suggested, when I showed up as a walk-in during my most recent visit I had no problem finding a table for three people fairly quickly.
