New Hopper Hut

What is New Hopper Hut? Located in Unit 215 at 880 Ellesmere Road, New Hopper Hut has been a Dorset Park fixture for over 30 years, originally opening in 1991 and purchased by Ragavan Thurairatnam in 1995. This unpretentious spot is where Toronto locals head for authentic Sri Lankan fare. The interior provides a simple dining room with seating for around 50, described as 'no frills' but clean, offering a straightforward, comfortable atmosphere for a casual meal.

New Hopper Hut Menu & What to Order New Hopper Hut specializes in traditional Sri Lankan dishes, and their menu is extensive. Start with an 'Egg Hopper', a bowl-shaped, crisp-rimmed pancake with a soft centre and an egg cooked into the base, often paired with 'Seeni Sambol'. Don't miss the 'Mutton Lumpris Biryani Rice', a flavorful banana leaf-wrapped parcel of spiced rice and tender mutton. The 'Chicken Kothu Roti', made with chopped roti, onion, egg, and chilis, is another standout, vigorously prepared on the griddle to produce its signature sound. For a fiery kick, try the 'Devilled Chicken'. Finish with a refreshing 'Cream Soda Falooda'. The food consistently garners praise for its vibrant, authentic flavours and generous portions.
