I was told about this place by a friend while I was in search for breaded mutton rolls…read more I can't rave enough about this place-it has limited menu, lots of snacks hot and packaged. It is located in a fairly busy plaza not in terms of traffic but it has many good eateries. I got some mutton rolls, they were fresh and delicious not overly spicy. The roll was full of flavor. Priced just right. I also tried their dried fish in masala now sure what it is called but it was absolutely divine. These are these tiny dried fishes made with their local spices and peanuts my god. I took it home and devoured it will daal/lentil and rice. I was traveling soon so didn't get other stuff but next time I'm there I'm definitely trying a bit of everything. Fabulous customer service, the lady and the gentleman behind the counter were so friendly and helpful. If they are the owners you guys are running a fab show I'm sure you know it. I love supporting small businesses and this one is definitely a 5 star. Super clean too. Lots of parking outsides. If you are wondering the location it is by Armeens and Masraways kitchen.

Ordered a Masala Dosa and Veg Kottu Roti. My go to dishes in a Sri Lankan restaurant. The fact that no other customers came in was worrisome to me that did I make a good choice by coming here. The Masala Dosa comes in a container sliced in two rather than the entire wrapped in foil at one of nearby place (our favourite). The Dosa (crepe) much thicker than it should be make it too doughy and filling not flavoured enough. The accompanying sambhar was nothing great as well. The chutney too thin and watery but was surprisingly much better. It hit the right notes on flavour, spiciness and salt. The Kottu Roti was cooked with minimal veggies and much spicier than I anticipated. I was fine, but the Mrs not so much. And this was asking it to be mild. Need to try the HOT when I am all alone. The redeeming factor was that it contained Nutrella pieces (Indian continent soy pieces). The quantity was disappointing as well. $8.50 for a Masala Dosa (similar price to a sit down restaurant and much better quality or several $s expensive than the one sold at a nearby Sri Lankan place) and $7 for Kottu Roti - same as Masala Dosa. Now I know why there were not many people during lunch!

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.

Ok I'm no expert in Sri Lankan food, but it tastes authentic as in similar to my friends home cook meals. But maybe I'm not used to it, I find it a bit saltier than my liking. Based on my limited experience with Sri Lankan food, I'll give it a 4 Star for food. Value is 4.5 star. The food is not inexpensive, nothing downtown is cheap anymore, but they offsets the price with big portions. We had enough left over for a filling lunch the next morning!

Ordered their chicken wings. Generous portion, crispy and tasty. For those who remember Pioneer Fried Chicken the wings tasted like they came from there. Then ordered the shrimp curry and the mutton, tasty and surprisingly mildly spiced for a Sri Lankan dish. I would have given it a higher rating but the food wasn't even warm. Better to come when it first opens up so the food will be hot.
