Hopper Hut in Scarborough

The Lamprais is amazing and comes with egg and fish cutlet. Also love their fish patties. One of the best Sri Lankan restaurants.

Most delicious and consistent kothu roti in Toronto

I had hoppers which was cold and onion sambal which not Sri Lankan.adding 10% service on your bill. Hopper hut is not run by Sri Lankans.

Bought 4 chicken lampries on 21st September. They were all spoiled. Terrible food!!! If you want to spend time in the washroom all day!? This is the perfect place Hopper Hut NEVER buying food from there. Food

I recently had lamprais and was disappointed by my experience. Not only was a cutlet and the egg missing from my meal, but I also unfortunately experienced food poisoning afterward. Lamprais was definitely not the best.

Horrible service very rude behind the counter

Average taste in egg hoppers, lacks flavour. Pol Sambal - 4/5 Onion sambal - 5/5 Food : 3/5

I usually don t write reviews over google but this place forces me to! I tried their mutton roll and chicken roll for the first time! It was horrible!!! The roll was cold and stale! My stomach got upset within few hours after eating from here. I would highly recommend people to avoid eating anything from this place!

Bought lamprais but unfortunately it didn t meet the standards of a lamprais. It was more like rice and curry.

Disgusting service and food

Hoppers Hut unfortunately falls short in delivering satisfactory customer service. During my recent visit, the staff seemed disinterested and inattentive, which resulted in prolonged waits and incorrect orders. The lack of apology or effort to rectify mistakes was disappointing.

Terrible service and the food is inedible.

I have not been here for a very long time since I moved out of the area. I was passing through so I thought I would grab dinner from here. Their mutton rolls did not disappoint as usual. Kothu Roti is still has my mouth watering. Still the best place in the city for hoppers. TRY their veggie sandwiches they are too die for!!!. Young gentleman at the front was patient answered all my question and I had a lot since I havent been there in a while.

They have the most horrible hoppers I have had so far.. The milk hopper we had wasn t even done properly.. and we had to add sugar to the milk hoppers ourselves.. They don t give condiments with plain hoppers you need to get one.. and the onion sambol was below average By the name, it feels like they are specialized in hoppers.. not sure how the rest would be

Poor Customer service, they work like a snail here

Consistent quality and good service

Good

Had the mutton lamprais and it was the only thing I ate the whole day tasted good but made me sick the next day I think it was old eggplant or meat had the runs all day

The food is really good here and the portion is amazing. Couldnt finish myself.

Superb. Very nice staff.

Food is good, but double check the bill as they seem to tip themselves on their own even if youre just 3 people, and server didnt note it . Sneaky moves like that lose my business.

I received a huge portion, very tasty too.

Love the simplicity and original of this restaurant. Scarborough staple indeed for south-Asian Tamil food. Thank you for your service! My wife loves their mutton kothu roti with extra gravy & spice!

The food is great but the staff is so rude and slow

Never disappoints. I visit this place regularly. Every time the food is great Mutton roll, chicken lamprice, chicken kottu and coconut milk hoppers Food

Foods taste is good. But everything so solty. Only hoppers taste good. Food

Enjoyed the Food very much! Specially the Mutton role and the Masala Tea..

Good place for Srilankan foods

Good variety of food and snacks. Also affordable. Friendly staff. Food

I ordered from skip the mutton fried rice combo , had great flavours and it was spicy BUT portion of the food was very less for the price

Best food

Purchased milk and plain hoppers. Absolutely the worst. Never buy Hoppers from Hopper Hut!

A good place to eat in Sri Lanka.. It tastes good..

Love the food. The guy at the counter is always patient and helpful and ready to answer all your questions patiently

Amazing meal for a great price! Tried Combo 2 (which included two hoppers, one egg hopper, and one milk hopper), mixed lamprais (with mutton and shrimp), and the mutton rolls. All were amazing! Can t wait to visit again soon.

We always end up here when we get hopper cravings. Best hoppers in Scarborough.

Good food But marginally expensive. Food

Food was amazing, great sri lankan flavour, good portion size. Takeout section available as well as dine-in in the back. Service is quick too.

kothu roti was amazing

Another place to experience srilankan food . Loved it .

Love the food / service and atmosphere .. will be recommending .

Great spot the tandoori chicken and sweet chili chicken really good and always have Atta Stiring Hopper

Hopper Hut is phenomenal, it s criminal they have such a low rating. Thank you for being open New Years Day! The chicken lampries are delicious.

Great Sri Lankan food

Okay so I never write reviews to begin with. I used to go to hooper hut all the time before hitting a road trip back to MTL every month prior to Covid. Their food is okay now. I asked for Fish Pattie s and I got what looked like small fish buns instead - the dough is fluffy and weren t really like patty looking (and I didn t know how they looked like until I got home bcuz they packed the food from the back kitchen). I also got fish buns and they literally tasted the same as the fish patties. I loved the rolls on the other hand, they were bigger than usual and tasty. But lowkey just gonna stick with spice land from now on

I am writing to express my disappointment with the quality of the food I have received. On multiple occasions, I have received food that is soggy and expired. I understand that mistakes can happen, but I expect a higher level of quality from a business such as yours. I would appreciate if you can address this issue and ensure that the food I receive is of a higher quality.

Good Spot to experience Sri Lankan foods.

Quality foods and Delicious snacks...

These guys secretly added service charge in the bill. Service charge is not mandatory. Donot agree for that. Food also not that great. Standered has gone down

I bought 200 string hoppers from them . They are the best. Tried string hoppers lamprise. With mutton. It was like heaven. Great job from them .

Kind and helpful service. Food was good. Theyve been around for such a long time - would love to see the facility receive some upgrades and creat a better ambience. Thanks for a pleasant lunch.

Try their Mutton rolls

Got bill $64.....Service charge $9.95 these guys are rip off. Dine in very expensive thay add service charge

Usually you get what you pay for. Here, you get a lot more than you pay for. Warning. Much of the food here is not for the feint of heart. Spicy and good

i was skeptical by individual reviews.. but ok.. u can try when u are hungry and like to have some srilanka/kerala/tamil mix of cuisine..

Most of the time you will get Stale food from here. Dont take risk of getting sick by eating their food. They dont value their customers anymore.

Good kothu rotti

Great Food and Service. We really the hopper Combo with additional curries. Will repeat !!!

Love their mutton rolls!!

Went in 2022, it was decent but it was only take out. Went in 2023 for dine in. On a Sunday at noon. Got 3 rolls, it was the worse rolls Ive had. Looks like they double fried either frozen ones or ones being sold upfront because it was drenching in oil. I couldnt even finish mine. Got hoppers, all of them were cold. Ordered curries. Small portions at 6 bucks a curry, ordered the potato and there was only two small potato pieces in it. When asked how was the food I mentioned this to them. I wont be going back there. I would expect at least the hoppers to be warm and fresh.

The place is in sheer need of redesign, restoration, and a general revamping of furniture and fittings. Age shows everywhere, from chairs to table coverings to walls ; from washrooms to the handwashing facility reserved for clients who enjoy eating with their fingers. The food could do with more love and attention to be detail, and the menu whittled down to a just a dozen items that are very much in public demand. The owners would certainly benefit by a serious change on these lines. Servers are friendly, courteous and most attentive to customer needs

Ive been a patron of this establishment since it opened, the lady at the front counter needs training in customer service. The short eats I got were from thr back kitchen and were spoiled. The health department should pay a visit to this place ,as Im sure nothing is stored at safe temperature, Im sad to see the demise of this establishment, I had a few items that were spoiled on previous visits however chalked it off for just a bad day and not everyone is perfect all the time. But now Im sure I wont be wasting my time going there again. I hope they notice these reviews and make changes as this was a place that was good before there were so many Sri Lankan places to choose from.

Very bad quality food I order seafood kottu they charge an extra $2.00 for shrimp total I paid $14.00 for one kottu but nothing on there only they put old rotti and old gray thats it. Plz dont waste your money Food

Love there Milk Hopper

We dined in after many years and the service and quality of food has deteriorated tremendously. We were served hard and dry kothu roti with barely any meat in it, chicken curry with hair in it, 2 chicken legs that were black and burned and chilli chicken that was smothered in chilli pepper seeds. To add to this- their portions are extremely small and over priced. They serve on regular dinner plate size and only serve in the centre middle of the plate- nothing more. Its more of a child serving. Curries were given in small bowls- smaller than a soup bowl Pros- Nice mirror to look at Cons- old dining area, tv with barely any sound, lousy delayed service, extremely bad and old food, over priced, extremely small quantities, tips are added to the bill when they shouldnt even received a tip . I grew up with hopper hut but this was the worst srilankan food ive ever had. Whether its Inflation or covid-I would not recommend dine in. Perhaps takeout is better but who knows

Food quality has terribly gone south. They had great appetizers before and now its just not the same. Their restaurant is open again so maybe they are focusing on that.

Its probably the worst hopper I had from Hopper Hut. Its been some time since I have been here, but I didnt expect the quality to drop this far. Purchased milk Hopper, and we got a plain, soft Hopper with no milk.

Goid sri Lankan hoppers. Good flavors Staff could be more friendly Food : 4/5

Overall, my experience at this Restaurant was satisfactory, but I must mention that the lady at the front counter could have been more friendly and attentive to customers. It felt like she lacked interest in taking care of us, which slightly affected our overall impression of the place. The food was decent, and they have good coffees and tea, but better customer service would have made the visit more enjoyable .

Staff are very friendly and accommodating, servings are more than regular which means you have left overs, a plus in anyones books. I was more than Happy with my stay at Hopper Hut and will be back,Thanks! Food

The place needs to hire people. It took them 30 mins to take order and they dont care who comes first. They just take the order from people they like and its ridiculous. One person handling 15 orders.

If we have take out this is our go to every time. The food is amazing and the ppl are so sweet and welcoming. There is no better vegetable samosas (ask for them piping hot - made fresh) my kids are so obsessed. The restaurant part was also such a nice experience. The authentic food here is unmatched from savoury to sweet. Vegetarian options: Too many to list. Dietary restrictions: My kid is vegan. Most things are vegetarian. They are so helpful and patient. They can answer any question and know what ingredients are in their food. There is something for everyone. Parking: Open and always a spot. If their plaza is too busy by chance highland farms huge parking lot is connected. Kid-friendliness: The ppl working here are just so friendly and accommodating. They have booster seats. Wheelchair accessibility: Outside plaza so it s accessible for everyone.

I went on a Saturday, and one would expect the restaurant to be staffed well, but no, sir! Just one lady was handling the counter for food pick-up and takeout,band she didnt seem happy either. And she was messing up the order as well -- charged me for one of the items and didnt add the item to the bag she prepared for me, and I had to go back for it. I dont think she did it on purpose, but it shows that its not wise to be understaffed. I ordered veggie patties, and it was excellent -- with very little oil. Though I think it was fried,not almost appeared to be baked -- thats how little oil showed up on the outside. Many years ago,when I ate in the restaurant, the meal was quite delicious. Dont know how it is these days. Vegetarian options: I got the veggies only after ordering ahead of time. I dont see them carrying it at all times.

The hoppers and crab curry is really good

I ordered (Mutton Kothu Rotti) and (Mutton Roll), i rarely found the meat in the food. Over $15 for the Kothu and %95 percent of the food is Rotti. $3 for the 1 Roll and same issue for that. You guys cant be cheap on the main ingredient of the food.

Hopper and kothu place in Scarborough

Love the food here...but the staff is a little snobby...slow service at times. I dont like the hike in prices lately...i have gone elsewhere because of this. But overall the food I like is made well. Update: Ive been going many time here for over 10 yrs. Im not impressed with my last visit. I asked for many items for take out, all vegetarian food. To my surprise when I arrived home in ajax, every item had meat in it. I was extremely disappointed in this. Im not sure how they made this mistake, but that put a dent in trust. Ill still be going back, but will make sure of everything

o.k.

Avoid this place! Service is terrible, prices are ridiculous. The food is cold and if you ask for it to be hot the rude woman will suggest heating it in the microwave. There are many other places that will serve better food at a better price and service won t be as terrible.

crab curry is really good

Dark, dingy place serving food with exorbitant prices. And on top of it all they charged $11 service charge.... ridiculous. Never going there again.

Very slow service

Insanely cheap! Got 6 delicious veggie samosas for just $3. Vegetarian options: Veggie samosas Food : 5/5 |

Indulging in the rich and authentic flavors of South Indian cuisine has never been more satisfying than my recent experience with Hopper Hut in Scarborough. The highlight of my meal was undoubtedly the Medhu Vada, a culinary masterpiece that transported my taste buds straight to South India. Fried to perfection at 2 PM, just in time for my order, the Medhu Vada was a fresh, crispy, and utterly delicious delight. I can confidently assure fellow food enthusiasts that this was not a reheated affair; it was as fresh as they come, a must-try for anyone seeking the genuine taste of South India. Alongside the Medhu Vada, I had the pleasure of savoring their Veg Meals, reminiscent of the Kerala Chatti Choru parcel. The authenticity of the flavors and the perfect blend of spices made it clear that Hopper Hut is committed to delivering a true South Indian dining experience. The taste was spot-on, satisfying my craving for home-cooked South Indian delicacies. In conclusion, Hopper Hut stands out as a gem in Scarborough for anyone looking to dive into authentic South Indian cuisine. The freshness, the flavors, and the undeniable authenticity of their dishes have left a lasting impression, making it a top recommendation for food lovers. Dive into the culinary treasures of South India with Hopper Hut; your taste buds will thank you! Vegetarian options: Authentic South Indian Veg Meals served with Payasam

The food was good. We got mutton curry with plain appams we got mutton kuttu roti and we got stuffed mutton roti . Wish the server had given us better options and explained to us we were basically getting the same mutton curry in different versions. We should have instead got chicken or some other meat.

Ordred string hoppers. Food was great. Coconut sambol was bit dry, hence strike off the 5th star. Affordable.

Ive been coming to hopper hut since 2013. This is my comfort food and i will always come here for the lampreys.

My go-to for delicious and authentic Sri Lankan food. One of the few restaurants that uses mostly sustainable or paper-based containers (thank you). Others use black plastics which cannot be recycled.

My go to spot for faluda & fish patties. So delicious & reasonable pricing.

The staff seem better than before today as soon as they opened I called in an order and the lady that served me was super nice n efficient......did management change here ? Or owners?

We ordered egg hoppers and it tasted really bad.

The hopper hut has a nice selection of Sri Lankan food. Nothing fancy, and Ive not come to expect that from a Sri Lankan food joint either. The prices are quite fair, the quantities are large, and the food is good. I think thats all that matters here. The mutton rolls here are probably the best around town, and they do hoppers which must be eaten fresh.

My neighborhood store

From my mom: Thank you for giving us a real homemade taste of Tamil food! We appreciate the care you take and it shows in the food!! We would recommend anyone to eat here.

Very good Sri Lankan style food at reasonable prices. Wide menu selection. Service is a bit slow but vastly improved since I last visited.

Great food

Banana leaf Rice was really good. Even their in-house Sri Lankan patties were good.

Very convenient store with ample parking space

Good Lambpris but they never have dine in open

Love the mutton curry and their roti is very good as well

Dine in was closed. Was told that they had no plans to reopen Dine in service as of now.

Our Go To place for quick 3 for $1 delicious Vege Samosas

I only ever tried their mutton rolls and really enjoyed it. The best part of the rolls is the fact that they don t skimp on the meat. I found their mutton rolls to be meaty and hearty! These are a must try.

I bought mutton rotti . really disappointed. too much oily.very bad food

Been going here since 1998! Lump Rice is superb!

I tried their vegetarian kothu roti vai skip. Tastes soooo good .. Keep it up guys.

The hoppers here freshly made to order and the well sized portions . Loved it :)

Ordered mutton Kothu roti (mild), Mutton roll and Ulunthu Vadai. All three absolutely delicious. Kothu roti and mutton roll both have generous amount of meat (you ll see). Ulunthu Vadai (like a lentil doughnut) tasty. None of the items were oily like some places. A must try!

Amazing value for money. The portion sizes are big, so keep that in mind when ordering. Highly recommend the kothu roti and the meat rolls, as well as the lamprice.

They are ruining the business through their attitudes. Food is good. But when we call ppl who answer they are so rude. One lady who answered she doesnt know the differences from lamprise and parcel rice. All make mistakes. I didnt know whether she is the owner or worker. When I asked her if lamprise what you have. She said all make differently. But she said dhal potato...these are not lamprise. She shouted before I order she hanged up. If they want to do proper business need proper customer service. Lot of business they are loosing bcs of their attitudes. Otherwise their food are okay.

Had kothu roti from here. Well cooked and huge serving.

They need to learn what lamprais is!! Disappointed.. went all the way from downtown to get banana leaf wrapped rice and curry..

Really great Takeout Tamil food. Always tastes fresh and homemade.

Worst kothu parotha ever had. It feels they stored in fridge and serve. Not at all fresh. Don t recommend.

Nice hoppers

Was visiting from out of province. Some friends recommended this place for delicious and authentic Sri Lankan food. It was not a disappointment! Hoppers, mutton rolls, fish buns, etc. The food is delicious! Will definitely detour to here again when I come back.

I came here after long time. My go to place for mutton lamprise, mutton roll etc. Evertime I visit Toronto, this my place to visit. Their quality and quantity remains the same.

A great disappointment. Came all the way from North Bay to see No dining in. I think they should reopen the dinning room.

Best hidden spot for tamil food

There food is good but customer service is nil. Few times the lady hang up on me with very bad attitude. This is not the way to treat your customers. The guys who work there are good.

Greetings gentle reader. The Ridiculously Rude Restaurant Employee of the Month Award is given to..... The front counter lady at Hopper Hut !! Ive been a loyal customer of this strip mall restaurant for more than 10 years. During that time, Ive had the stunning displeasure of being served by the same lady during previous visits. Her daft and disinterested and disrespectful level of customer service clearly makes her worthy of the Award. Id enjoy the opportunity to share my feedback regarding the front of house lady with the person(s) responsible for placing her at the front of house. My valuable and free input for the Hopper Hut owner.... a) Train the lady. b) Teach her to adopt a professional, welcoming demeanor at all times. c) Inform the lady that she should be on her best behavior because she is representing your establishment. Two women I briefly spoke with outside the restaurant agreed with my shared summation. They also said the lady-- and generally all Hopper Hut staff are curt. e) Other reviews of Hopper Hut include words like disappointing and poor service. In respect to the food; 1) All items dumped onto the hot counter were cold. This included fish rolls and cutlets, mutton rolls etc. Nothing was being held at a safe temperature. 2) No items were covered. 3) I politely requested a Kothu dish. I strongly suspect it was microwaved. Certainly not fresh. Zero flavor as well. Its headed to the compost heap.

Took vegetarian order for 20. Good taste but the quantity of some curries not enough..you get lots of rice to seems like a big order but short on curries. Actually it was enough for 17 people. But wasted lots of rice.

Good hoppers and crab curry.

Quality has suffered immensely since our visit sbout an year ago. Was thoroughly dissappointed with the state of the spicy snacks.

Decent quality products. But lack of customer handling and poor attitude. Needs lot more make it a friendly welcoming place .

Sri Lankan food and short eats. Love the Mutton roll.

Reasonable price food is good but service is slow. Vegetarian options: Good selection of vegetarian and non vegetarian option

The flavors here take you back to Sri Lanka. I mean Im not Sri Lankan and havent visited the place but Ill be dammed if this isnt just as good. The kothu roti is just..... Damn! And the hoppers and banana leaf wrapped meals are so good, youll cry!

My fave Sri Lankan fast food joint in Toronto, not the best for decor but makes it up with the food.....

Delicious, must-try spot in Scarborough. We love their vegan options. If you love truly spicy food, youll love Hopper Hut! (Also - best veggie samosas Ive ever had.)

Excellent Tamil food

My husband brought home mutton rolls and samosas from here. Half way through the roll I noticed something red.. I take a closer look and I see a head of a bug with its antennas attached to it. I was so grossed out I had to force myself to throw up. I wish I took a picture but I was too disgusted I ran to the washroom and threw up. This is disgusting.

Nasty rolls , they only have veggie even though they offer mutton rolls , anyways rolls were spoiled, cannot go past first bite , chicken Pattie s were really good but cold. I wouldn t recommend this place for short eats.

Oh great Sri Lankan food. Just reminded home.

The go to Sri Lankan food place in TO. Best rolls in the city. Friday veggie rice platter is absolutely delicious. Fresh food made to order, cant complain at all. 10/10

was good

Good food, affordable price plenty of parking

I have been a customer of this restaurant since conception and every year the quality of the food remains at par at the best of times however customer service is NOT on the menu. The front staff try their best but aopear to be governed by the senior staff, both the lady in the front (who seriously needs to retire or take a course in common courtesy) and whoever runs the kitchen in the back. The prices keep climbing, whiich I respect given the current status of our economy but their is no need for depreciating cuatomer service. Hopper Hut does not value their customers that have supported them for years. Good bye Hopper Hut!

One of the best restaurants in ontario for Sri Lankan food. I ve been trying different dishes from many restaurants to get the real Sri Lankan quality in food. I bought dosa and roti with curries which were really delicious. Authentic Sri lanakan taste...superb.

Vegetarian options: We bought there srilankan lumbrice I.like it and also shorties and vegetable kotthu rotti.food is good to taste.specialy there is wash room facilities not available.travelling long distance very difficult forladiesfor wash room. Food

Take out only. There is no dine in available. Food was good and service was fast. Lots of prepared snacks available. Vegetarian options: Few vegetarian options available Parking: Enough parking spaces available in the strip mall.

Good place for Sri Lankan foods specially appam , rolls and patties. Always maintain their quality well.

Wonderful tasting kothu parota and non-veg snacks at a reasonable price

I ordered mutton kothu today. I tried to eat, and its very salty... the person I spoke to said he doesnt know what happened.. Im very disappointed with the food today. They didnt even offer to rectify the error. But only apologized. Ive ordered food before, and it was kind of ok.... Im not sure if I would ever order from them at all.

I used to be a regular customer I always order the same order but each person who serve me every time different price I really dont want to argue with them so I dont say nothing I just take the food and leave be careful when you order something please check your order before you take home they always mess up the order some food are okay most of the food are bad no taste

Surprisingly good and tasty food for a good price. Had the appam and mutton biryani. Tastes better than Banjara at Christie Pitts, more items included and cheaper.

Service is very poor

This place used to be one of the best in town. Now not even close to being average. For the last couple of times, food tasted bad, microwaved and service was on and off. My last order was chicken lampraise via uber eats. Despite it being over priced for what you get, it didnt even taste okay. It was flavorless!!! The only thing that had some kind of flavor was achcharu. Thats it. Stay away from this place if you are looking for an authentic lamprais or good quality food for that matter.

Good pricing, good potion, specially like their Egg Hopper and Masala Chai.

Great food

Amazing service and quality of food, the mutton rolls are killer here, and especially when its fresh, the staff went above and beyond during todays visit to freshly make rolls for me while I waited a couple min, you guys are great!

Good south indian food

Incredible food at an incredible price. Also helps that the portion sizes are huge. My only warning is that you will need to tolerate spice because theres plenty of it in most dishes but Im sure they can accommodate! Mutton rolls and milk hoppers are great!!

Home made Sri Lankan food cooked. Busy little shop with lots of options for vegetarians and meat lovers. Good, fast spot when I crave some authentic Sri Lankan food.

Please care full Vegetarians! I ordered Vegetarian Rotty they gave meat Rotty this the 2 nd time happened I never going to buy from theme any more

There mango shakes are to die for. Excellent customer service and I had a great dine in experience.

Best rolls, its not clean. Literally saw the lady drop the tong on the floor and used it without even wiping. I think she was the owner she had different outfit. If you looks online they keep failing the cleanliness check by the city. Even when they do just pass. Being brown gotta say the rolls are one of the best. You guys can do better. P.S not a hater. Leggoo hence give 3 stars

Expensive. Choose another restaurant. Vadai and other items were not fresh. Long remembered name is no more. Sad. May be the management.

Hoppers are delicious, but the place is dirty.

Very nice fellow. Superb friendly service

So delicious

Authentic delicious cuisine at fair prices!
