  • Hopper Hut was my first experience with Sri Lankan food and, while my experience was mixed, it was certainly worth the trip out to Scarborough to try this unique cuisine. Portions were large, prices low, and the food was interesting and mostly good. The restaurant has a takeout counter up front and a sit down restaurant, which was totally empty on a Tuesday evening, in back. Our server was very friendly and helped explain the menu to us; most items were unfamiliar to us. We were eating vegetarian and there were plenty of meat-free options on the menu. Refer to janelle w's excellent review for an explanation of the main dishes on the menu. We had: Hopper Combo #3 ($5.25): One egg hopper, one milk hopper, and two plain hoppers with coconut onion sambol. We really enjoyed all three types of hoppers. The milk hopper (coconut milk not cows milk) is sweet and meat to be eaten with white sugar. The other two hoppers are savoury and meant to be eaten with the sambol. I've never had sambol before but I found it a little dry for me, otherwise it's tasty. Kottu Roti ($5): This was our favourite dish. It had great flavour and the lime wedge it was served with really added to it. This was the spiciest dish we had but I wasn't unbearably spicy. Vegetable Lampries ($7): Six vegetarian curries and rice wrapped in a banana leaf and baked. This was the dish I was most excited about and it looked amazing when it came out. Unfortunately, while good, it turned out to be our least favourite of the three dishes we ordered. I really disliked a couple of the curries in the dish and, while the others were tasty, since they were all combined together I had to pick around the bad ones. Overall the food didn't live up to the high expectations I had for Hopper Hut. It was good but I kept feeling like it could probably be done even better. Sri Lankan food has tons of potential and I felt Hopper Hut wasn't fully tapping that. Of course, I've never had Sri Lankan before so I could be totally wrong. I'll certainly try Sri Lankan again but next time I'll probably go to another place for comparison. For now, I'll give Hopper Hut three stars for the friendly service, low prices, and above average food. I'll adjust the rating accordingly as a try more Sri Lankan places.
