The Veg Thali was absolutely delicious and the variety is so generous. There is a little dessert included as well.

Good food and servings are generous. If you have kids ask for something mild because all that we ordered where hot. Its a very unique blend of spices that one does not commonly taste. Appart from our wobbly table the service was friendly and accommodating.

A real gem in the heart of Fordsburg. One of the best restaurants to eat at if youre looking for some South Indian cuisine, absolutely delicious food, the amount of flavour in the food is incredible. Wow, this place never fails to amaze me every time I go there. The food is excellent. Lovely experience for the whole family. Pricing is neither extremely cheap nor over the top expensive which is good as it is indicative of prices that will buy you a scrumptious and very fulfilling meal for a quiet reasonable amount of no more than R100 if youre a single person. I can guarantee you leaving there wanting to go back for more in the future. Definitely worth a try!

Ordered a Ghee Roast Dosa and Paneer Dosa, both was absolutely horrible☹️, tomato chutney tasted like it was spoilt 🤢 and the paneer was so under spiced, unlike the amazing food we had at Dosa Hut Fourways.

So with my order a mutton bunny;fatty fat fat on the meat the curry itself was thick and ewww.... The beans bunny chow the potatoes =rock hard, another disappointmentHeard amazing reviews about the food now I wonder who is enjoying this food? Scam scam scam Will not be ordering again from here

Food wasnt great. Ordered tanduri chicken and it had no flavour, just this thick paste. Nobody seems to cares much to wear masks there, not the chefs and most of the waiters. Theres not sanitzing station when you enter. Fordsburg in general doesnt comply. Definitely would not recommend.

Here we found the original taste of Dosa which we had in india...even the south indian tea was awesome. I found no difference in tastes. Best place to have Dosa on Johannesburg

Food was delicious as always and the service.. Based on the cold weather would suggest heating the place up a bit, it was freezing inside the restaurant.. But other than that. Everything was perfect

The Masala Dosa is AMAZINGGGGGGG :)Love the Vegetable Thali too. Always Great food and amazing service. Its no surprise that Dosa hut is rated one of the best by the Sunday times. Very well deserved. Keep it up :)

Good food, friendly efficient service (even though it was packed for a Sunday night) and reasonable prices. Portions could be a teeny more generous though? 🤔 but overall I would strongly recommend checking it out! 👌

The food was fresh and delicious. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. The general atmosphere was also pleasant. Airy and modern. The locals dine here and that is always a good sign. We had the mild fish curry, with yellow tail and rice and a 1/2 tandoori chicken with chips and Naan. Delicious. The fish was a first for me and the texture and taste was unlike anything I had before. The ablutions were adequate but I would prefer not to have to open and close doors. A swing door would be great.

Some of the best South Indian food in Joburg! The dosa is light and shatteringly crisp, just perfect!My favourite though is their beans bunny chow! Its slightly sweet, spicy and so fragrant.Another must try is their pakora and the mint lemonade, fresh and tart, perfect on a summers day!

I had my Sunday lunch for the first time here. I ordered for collection and when I arrived, my food wasn’t ready even though I can 10 minutes after the time they told me to. I ordered the chicken biryani but I personally feel it wasn’t worth the price. I had one dry chicken breast in my entire meal. The biryani wasn’t great unfortunately and I’d been craving biryani for days, it just didn’t have that thing. I would go back for the masala dosa though. That was a culinary experience I won’t soon forget but again, not worth the price for one dosa.

Ive been eating here ever since I met my wife and honestly weve never been anything less than incredibly satisfied and pleased with what arrives on the table!!! In fact last night we took my mom(a hater of cauliflower) and she was shocked at how delicious the Gobi 65 was (spiced cauliflower) so that in itself is a glowing endorsement! Will be back forever!!!

You domt meed to wait to fly to india and have Dosa s. The Dosa s are made quick and fresh her @Dosa Hut. The giant rice pancakes come with tasty fillings accompanied with sauces like tomato relish with fried dry chillies.My favourite one is the coconut sauce.They started a breakfast buffet on sat.& sun.For only R 59 p.personTheir Karak tea is divine.The only problem you ll have is the parking but the street behind got more parking available.

First experience at this little place in the heart of Fordsburg, Johannesburg. I can understand why it has a 4 ⭐ rating on Zomato. The food was delicious and well prepared. Wait time wasnt bad and service great. Unfortunately didnt get to try the Dosa but theres always next time and it will be soon. Value for money definetly. Oh, come early around 12 noon to avoid the Sunday lunch queues.

Food: Decent as far as Indian restaurants go; very Spicy.Price: Very reasonable; large protionsHalaal: SANHA certified, Muslim ownedParking: Street parking is normally a nightmare, and often unsafe. Car guards are as much of a help as they are a menace. Park at the Oriental Plaza and walk/ Uber in and out if possible. Wheelchair ramp to pavement.Setting: acceptable. Not as crummy as the typical Indian restaurant in the area. But very much the vibe of being in a restaurant in India. The area is interesting but familiar, if youve visited the sub-continent.Favourite dish: N/A. My gold standard measurement for Indian restaurants is how their butter chicken compares to the old Delhi Palace, which incidentally was across the road. This was disappointing in that regard.

Review №59

My favourite south indian curry house. Rustic decor and a fully seated restaurant sets the tone on weekends. Most chicken curries cost under R100 and most lamb curries R150. Ofcourse you should have a dosa for the experience - i would suggest ordering a masala dosa to share amongst 3 and then order a curry. I once met the chef who told me the signature dish is the Lamb Maliperalan curry - it is my favourite dish to order, along with Bhatoora which is a puffy large fried Indian bread. You wont find Bhatoora on the menu but you must order it.

Great food at a great price and also good service. Recommend the mutton bunny, masala fried fish with Kerala paratha, Butter chicken with the chilli and garlic naan, half tandoori chicken with a Kerala paratha, 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.Just tasted the Chicken Kandatom today, and what a revelation, super spicy, tasty and complex. Definitely another great dish from this establishment.
