If you are looking for Authentic Sri Lankan - Sinhalese style food this is probably the best (and…read moreprobably only) place I know in the city. Have tried their Lampraise (banana leaf rice)*, Rice & Curry Box, Lankan Roti and short eats (egg rolls etc and have been impressed. The flavors on the Lampriase is as 90% as authentic as you would find in Sri Lanka. And the flavors on the curries are great. The curries available can vary day to day depending on the seasons and what's available in the market. The last time I went I had Jack Fruit curry, Beans, Fish Curry, Banana Flower curry which were all really good. They are quite generous with the portions (at least the last time I went) but I am worried that this generosity doesn't lead to downsizing or totally cutting down on stuff in the future to manage the margins as this is probably the only Sinhalese style Lankan restaurant in town! Hate losing it as we have been before! Note: Sri Lankan Tamil and Sinhalese cuisines are quite distinct. While there are many Lankan Tamil food restaurants, it's rare to find a Sinhalese style restaurant. The Banana Leaf Rice and Curry you usually get at Tamil fast food places is not the same as the Lampraise. Lampraise has a unique preparation method and the flavors are quite different with a lot of Dutch influence present in it.

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.

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. The owner was so nice and answered all our questions and explained the options on the menu for us. We ordered the chilli chicken, roti, and the curry chicken on the side. 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.

Staff are always nice, and especially helpful to someone like me who clearly does not know a lot about Sri Lankan food. Overall, quality remains consistent over the years. My favourite is the appam with sweet coconut milk in the center. Appam is made from a fermented rice batter cooked on a special surface called Kerala to create a slightly dome shape. The combination of the crispy pancake and coconut milk creates a savoury and sweet flavour. I was hoping to end this review with a rice coconut pun to crack you up but am out of ideas.

This mini platter is so so good. These meats are so deliciously seasoned. There is more then enough meat to appetize two people. Comes on top of a small bedding of salad (spiced dice cabbage, tomatoe slices, and onion) The butter chicken is pretty good, but the chicken is scarce. Tip: If you order the tandoor chicken, just put in in the butter chicken sauce, and your all set! I wish they de-boned the chicken. Amazing value and delicious food. No hesitation with my 5 star rating. Only good for take out.

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.

UPDATE! So the name is officially misleading now because it's NOT VEGETARIAN anymore. They've…read moreactually moved the Vegetarian location to Brimley/Steeles... which means I can now get MUTTON KOTHU here. This has turned into my go-to Kothu spot, which says a lot since I was a big fan of Doner King's kothu (although that is sadly not as consistent...), which is across the street. Here's where this is brilliant: they make the kothu SO consistently here and I appreciate it. $9 for mutton kothu, $6 for vegetarian. I should try the biryani too but the kothu just keeps me going. Lots of snacks as well but I don't know if I'd go for it.... Their samosas aren't bad - at $1 for 3, it's not as great value as Samosa King which is a couple blocks south. They also have a variety of others - I think their mutton patty was a bit overly deep fried and it seems to sit out for a while. COVID FACTOR: they have arrows and signs for physical distancing here, and all employees wear masks. I think they limit to 3 inside the store ordering takeout at once.

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.

We tried their Butter Chicken Cheese Roll and Chili Chicken Cheese Roll, both delicious, with a nice crispy texture. I really liked these! I really liked their Biryani Meal, which was more like a modern version and included vegetables, two choices of protein, and sauces on rice. Delicious!
