We ordered several items from the menu. A lot of the items were all over the place. The items I would recommend would be the following: 1. Milk hoppers 2. Fried fish 3. Chicken curry Mutton curry, shrimp curry were disappointing. Keep it simple and stick to the above.

November 25, 2024

We tried milk hoppers and it was really good. But the koththu roti and string hopper kotthu were really bad. Im not recommended the place for Koththu.

I kind of came in the back way where you walk past doors where they make the hoppers and there is all manner of equipment on show. I was afraid they weren't open. The. I got to the fourth door and it opened into a front counter setup. To the left there is a little entrance to the tables where there is seating for maybe. 50 people . It's a little no drills inside but the food is excellent !! Service also was excellent !

Stopped in for some Sri Lankan short eats. The rolls and cutlets were ok, I thought they would be like the ones we had in Sri Lanka at the Fab but they were not. They seemed over fried. The Mutton Roti was excellent. We will go back again and try something else but will not order the rolls and cutlets. Their Mango Lassi was also excellent. The server who was helping us was very nice and friendly.

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

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.

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.

★★★
December 22, 2023

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

December 22, 2023

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.

Love there Milk Hopper

December 22, 2023

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

★★
December 22, 2023

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

December 22, 2021

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

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.

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
