As a Sri Lankan, I arrived at Hopper Hut not merely hungry, but expectant -- the kind of quiet,…read morepersonal longing that only a diaspora craving can produce. Social media had done its work, flooding my feed with the golden bowls of appa from Colombo street stalls and rooftop eateries across the island. The question was whether this unassuming Scarborough plaza outpost could answer that call. It could, and it did. Hopper Hut occupies a modest space tucked into a nondescript strip mall on Ellesmere Road -- a setting that makes no architectural promises and need not. The dining room at the back is functional and warmly utilitarian, evoking the no-frills confidence of a kitchen that trusts its food entirely. The atmosphere is decidedly casual, bordering on spartan, yet there is something deeply familiar and unhurried about it -- a kind of timeless, neighbourhood authenticity that more polished establishments spend years trying to manufacture. The hoppers themselves are the undisputed centrepiece, and they deliver with conviction. Fermented rice-flour batter, lacework-crisp at the edges, yielding and softly chewy at the bowl's centre -- the texture is precisely what the form demands. One is advised, however, to receive them with immediacy: like all great bread, the hopper is a creature of the moment. The short journey home diminishes their crispness in a way that no reheating can fully redeem. Plan accordingly.

Regardless, I truly enjoyed the Chilli Calamari, however the Chilli Chicken was cold when I got it. Not sure if that's how it's supposed to be, but I would have preferred it warm. Previous: Tried the kothu roti from here for the first time this year, and it is definitely the best kothu i have ever tasted! Tried the chicken, chilli chicken, and shrimp kothu, and the chicken and shrimp are my favourite! The kothu roti is also physically appealing as it's finished off with onion, tomato, and a fried egg on the top. Would definitely recommend this place!

The kothu roti was cooked perfectly and the mutton rolls was crispy and tender on the inside and it had a good amount of mutton as well. The service was fast and efficient and I got my food in less than ten minutes. My favourite was the mutton rolls and very decent price except for the 25 cent surcharge.

I gave this place a shot since it was open and looked like a nice variety of Indian food which was…read moremaking me drool while looking through the window. I asked for one of each of some of the deep fried goodies, including a few samosas, along with the chicken rice deal, as well as one of their stuffed naan which looked amazing, and topped it off with a few chutneys and a pop. My order came to $25 which seemed decent, although when I looked in the bag when I got home, the pop was missing, oh well not good for me anyway. Check out the pics. On the lid side of the container sat the stuffed naan, I think it had egg inside he said? Anyway, I found it had a neat chewy texture, but maybe since it was cold it wasn't that appetizing and didn't have much flavour. I like the fried rolls, one chicken and one goat, they were good and easily dipped into the chutneys, of which the spicy mint was a standout and I loved that! The samosas were not to my liking as they were too small. The ratio of wrap to contents was about 50/50 and since the wrap was by now kinda dry and hard, they were not something you'd go gaga over like fresh decent size ones like from A1 or home made. The rice dish was ok, but where was the chicken? It was mainly rice, some eggplant, with only one piece of bone-in chicken that had me digging furiously for more as it was good and I wanted a second bite, but no, I guess it made off with the can of Coke, oh well. Since the owner was bitching about the pandemic, I'll let this experience fade into history, and send this review into the fireplace to incinerate. I'll be back!

When we got there and looked at the menu, I realized it wasn't the type of Malaysian food I normally eat but we gave it a try anyways. Why not try something new.

Everything was absolutely delicious! We couldn't finish everything so we took the chilli chicken to go as well as the curry chicken cause it was so good. Told my husband to stop by the place and bring back some takeout for me anytime he goes to Toronto.

I went back in my car, sat for a couple of minutes, and called them. To my surprise they picked up and accepted my order. I was even told it would take about 25 minutes on a Thursday evening at around 7:20pm. And so, I waited in my car, walked into the store periodically to find out the whereabouts of my Paneer Makhani $6.99 and Palak Gosht $8.99. The third time I came around to check, it seemed as if they forgot to make my order, and told me another 10 minutes. Waited exactly 1 hour and 12 minutes before I got my food (at this my stomach was eating itself), and when I asked to use my 10% off discount from Yelp check-in, the younger staff did not acknowledge the discount and told me I cannot use it. Again, while I loved the food I don't think I will ever make a repeat visit. Not only was I refused the 10% discount, but the staff was unapologetic about making me wait 1 hr and 12 minutes when I was told 25 mins. Had I known, I would have gone to Popeyes next door to avoid this nuisance. Thank you and goodbye.
