This place is by far the best place I've ever ever been to for South Indian food. It is cheap and cheerful. You can expect a wait (even on Anzac day in the evening when most people are probably watching the footy) but not for too long. Food is served quickly. The menu is massive with over 50 kinds of dosa, more than 10 kinds of biryani, a range of indo-chinese options (like chicken 65 and gobi manchurian), a select number of North Indian street food (like papdi chaat and samosa chaat), even dessert dosa (like lindt chocolate cashew dosa) and lassi (avocado, plain and mango). My friends and I wanted to eat everything on the menu and with dishes ranging from 10.95 to 13.95, it was hard not to order EVERYTHING! We settled for kara lamb dosa, the chicken hyderabadi biryani and the gobi manchurian. Portions are decent sized. Food arrived within 10-15 minutes. The gobi manchurian was garlicky and battered and slightly spicy. The hyderabadi biryani was by far the best biryani I've ever had. It was spicy (the way Indians like it - so not overpowering enough to mask the flavour but just at the right level), came with a nice spicey chutney and yoghurt (or dhai). The kara lamb dosa was dosa stuffed with deliciously flavoured lamb mince served with the most delicious chutney I've ever tasted and sambar. The sambar was quite sweet and not what I'm used to but with everything else being spicy - the sweet sambar was a relief! Can't wait to make more frequent visits to Dosa Hut! Even my friend who lived in South India for four years said that the food was amazing and equal to the food he's had in the South of India. p.s. Don't go here if you want butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, lamb rogan josh and naan. read more

Went here with friends who are regulars to try dosa. I normally can only find naan in The States and S.Korea. I had seen it in Singapore but didn't get to try it there. It was pretty airy and crispy. I think I got it with tandoori chicken inside which seems a bit different. The samosa I ate later on earned thus place another star (we took 3 to go) Not dry at all...best samosa I've ever had. read more

Just had it yesterday. As a south indian its rare to find a good dosa. These guys have some serious game. I had the 70mm masala dosa and the hyderabad goat biryani. The sambar was a little tangy for my taste (almost like they had pickle mixed with sambar) but an excellent coconut chutney and raita. The mango lassi was a bit sweet but very great flavour. The place was packed. A testament about how good the food is. read more

A consistently good place. The dosa are usually well cooked but recently I've been finding it impossible to not order the goat biryani. I also love the pani puri. I need to explore the menu more as the food is very good. Negatives? Sometimes they play rap music which has lyrics that just don't go with a family lunch! Also, they need to attend to the toilet. Smelly and dirty is not OK and reflects poorly on the managers and owners. read more

Dosa! I first had dosa for breakfast one morning in India; it's pretty great that there's a place in Melbourne. They do a pretty authentic dosa with traditional varities and some "Western" adaptations too. read more

We are really great fan of food specially Dosa, hence we visit every week once there just to have delicious Dosa! My comcern is regarding carless attitide of staff and the food service we got on Tuesday. There was a big thick hair in between masla dosa and i pointed out to one of the girl on floor and mentioned her to let whoever manger to know or the chef's as well. The worst part was she just throw that on floor and continue to do her duties rather informing them at first instance! Upon asking, she replied i will tell them they are busy...... That was shocking to hear!!!!!!!!!! I definetely want to take this matter to food safety victoria or in council because little mistake can cause serious trouble for anyone! I didn't ask them to replace new one or during checkout even i paid full price as my intentions not to take discount or argue with their staff rather be catious next time! Perhaps this is our and other friend's last visit there! read more

One of the best south Indian restaurants I have tried in Melbourne. The biryani and dosas are very good. I recommend the hyperdad biryani rice and not the chicken 65 biryani, it's just saffron rice with chicken 65. You better ordering the normal chicken biryani rice and chicken 65. The lassi are also nice. The decor could be improved, but for value for money biryani rice and dosa try this place. read more

The bread in the pav bhaji is as hard as steel. And be prepared to expect your food doused in oil. Idly is dried up and has a crust over it. Manchurian is veg balls in a bowl of oil. Very disappointing, will not return. Esp with alternates like aangan right down the street. read more
