Restaurant Review: Dosa Hut

By Sherman Chan,
Special to The Post

 

We were had a Mango Lassi and a Mango Milkshake. I thought the lassi was just right. It was sweet and had the true essence of mango. As for the shake, it was thick and tasted like mango ice cream. \

The Curry Challenge creation in the Attu Chops Iral Curry featured a lamb Chop with dosa, nilgiri prawn with wild brown rice. Being a Chetinad-style curry, the flavour was a little different than usual. It was thick and rich with a balanced spiciness that complimented the sweetness and background tang. The lamb chop itself was pull-apart tender. The meaty prawns were coated with a coriander and mint chutney that made things bright.
We had another dosa in the form of the Palak Paneer Dosaplated. It ate even better than it appeared. The dosa itself was crispy and light while still slightly chewiness inside. The even smear of palak was slightly creamy while the  paneer was cheesy. The best accompaniment was the raita from the other dish as it provided a creamy coolness. The Chicken Biryani was aromatic and impactful. The basmati rice was fluffy and chewy at the same time while blessed with the essence of saffron and a slight spice. The pieces of chicken were tender and almost juicy.
Lastly, we had the Chicken Kormawhich which was fantastic. Creamy, nutty and full-flavoured, this was mild in terms of spice, but impactful. The richness of the dish was not as heavy as it appeared. The sauce was smooth.

Overall, we were impressed with the quality of food served at the Dosa Hut. Flavours were apparent and textures were on point. Impressive for a small little joint out on Fraser Street.

The Good:
