Nadu

A vibrant, loud, and incredible celebration of Sri Lankan and Tamil food right in the heart of Stokes Croft. Nadu drops the stiff restaurant act and focuses entirely on what matters: honest cooking and a brilliant community atmosphere. Famous for their traditional hoppers, deeply rich curries, and unique Arrack cocktails. It’s the perfect independent spot to drop your shoulders and catch up with your mates over a meal that actually tastes like something. As someone who has travelled a lot through Sri Lanka, multiple times, my final recommendation is don't miss this one.
