Dosa Hut

The Butter Chicken curry was… simply delicious! Absolutely loved this tasty Indian creamy tomato dish. The Paratha (roti) was fluffy and fresh. The ambience was pleasant. The staff were hospitable. The place was clean and the seating area spacious. The area is fairly safe - as long as you don’t flash your valuables in public areas (for example, walking down the road ). The main purpose for visiting this Indian restaurant - with its authentic Indian ingredients and Muslim chefs - was to cure my terrible cold! I’ve learnt from experience , over the years, that a bowl of Indian lentil curry or butter-chicken curry relieves a terrible cold!

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER FOOD HAD A STENCH ..CHICKEN VEINS WERE NOT CLEANED COMPLAINED TO THE WAITER ..BUT NO RESPONSE. AS I WAS LEAVING THE RESTAURANT. SAW THE MANAGER AND CHATTED TO HIM . HE JUST SAID OO

The food and service are acceptable and comparable to the other branches; however, the location is dreadful, as the area is a rundown, filthy part of town, and parking is the biggest challenge.

I’ve lost count the number of times that I have visited Dosa Hut and this is owning to the fact the food is just impeccable. Dosa Hut is situated in the heart of Fordsburg’s busiest streets which can be intimidating. Parking can be an issue. The restaurant is rather small and can become crowded and noisy which leads to having to wait for space but it’s every bit worth it. They specialise in all Indian cuisine with South Indian cuisine the main focus. The Dosas are a hit and a must eat along with the Thali. The food is always fresh, tasty, flavourful, spicy but not over the top (you can ask for hotter variants) and all round simply scrumptious. A must visit when you are in Johannesburg.

Great food at a great price and also good service. Recommend the masala dosa, tattu dosa, onion uttapam, masala fried fish with Kerala paratha, Butter chicken with the chilli and garlic naan, Chicken Kondattom, Onion Pakodas, South Indian special tea and also the Bombay crush. Generally, everything on the menu is of a high standard for a reasonable price. A new recent thing I have found is to have the Andra Chicken Starter, but the portion size is huge and has a sort of gravy that makes it like a curry. It is really great value for money with you always having leftovers yet being under the starters section and priced as such as well. Lastly, it is also really really tasty and reminds me of the chicken kondattom but less spicy and with a lot less chillies. Highly recommended. I have to note that upon my last visit, there was a new menu with some price changes. Of particular note, the mutton bunny price changed from R85 to R115. I love their bunny BUT i cannot in all honesty recommend same at that price. As a Durbanite, who has been eating bunnies all my life, I have never paid (nor should you pay) more than R100 for a quarter bunny chow.
