| - I grew up in Scarborough and have always had a lot of Sri Lankan friends. I would say 95% of my friends are. The weird thing is that I have never experienced Sri Lankan cuisine.
At around 9:30PM, my hungry boyfriend calls and tells me he hasn't had dinner and tasks me with finding a place to satisfy his growling belly. I think SO's with Yelp SO's are lucky! Seeing as by the time he wrapped up with his buddies it was 10:30PM, I had to get creative as not many places stay open that late. I gave him 3 choices, and he picked Hopper Hut.
Although most people have written about the lampries, we opted for the Kottu Chicken. I am such an amateur when it comes to West Indian/Indian cuisine and felt intimidated as I stepped into the restaurant. Its like when a foreigner goes to dim sum and the menu is all in Chinese, and all they can do is lift the steamers and point... That would've been me at Hopper Hut.
Fortunately, the SO is a pro when it comes to West Indian/Indian cuisine and knew exactly what he wanted. I had already had dinner, so I was really just there for company.
I did however snag a few bites, and it was absolute delicious! We had ordered the mild, but it was still pretty spicy. The portion sizes are extremely generous... It would probably count as 2 portions for me, but the SO is a big boy, so he gobble it all up.
There is a seating area behind the food counter, though I'm not sure if the menu is different as we didn't explore.
I will definitely come back and try some of their other offerings!
