Simply the best curry in Johannesburg. A friend's mother is an Indian food chef in Paris and she told us that the best curry in Johannesburg is at the Dosa Hut - she was right. When I want to eat good curry this is where I go without thinking twice. No alcohol is served here but drink a Bombay Crush - it's better than any alcoholic beverage. :-)
Delicious food, spotlessly clean! Friendly staff and very gracious owner. Excellent achievements Abilash!
Fourways Branch Dosa Hut - Tasty and quality indian food, in a rustic but warm setting. Dosa, milkshakes, paneer dishes recommended, with much more offered by menu. Friendly and enthusiastic waiters and management.
Fourways Branch - Ivan and team - excellent experience all round - visited 4 times in the past few weeks. Excellent food as always - you guys understand food quality and customer experience.- well done !
Been meaning to visit this place for ages ,I had masala dosa, really tasty dosa and affordable too .Loved chilli type sauce on the side.Quick service
Best place to have food in fordsburg. Authentic South indian cuisine. Be ready for a long queue on Saturday and Sunday lunch time, but worth a wait.
Awesome dosa and idli provided with delicious sambar and chutneys, the establishment is clean and the service excellent while the prices remain reasonable, never disappoints
What an amazing experience!
The fam ventured out to Fordsburg to try the scrumptious chows at Dosa Hut and it's by far the best Indian food I have tasted (beside home cooked off course).
Starters: We created a little mini buffet with eggplant fries, pani puri, lamb samoosas
Mains: fish thali, lamb thali, chicken tikka, chicken and prawn curry and 2 other curries
The Bombay crush was so so so divine and perfect in this heat.
Dosa hut....we cannot wait to visit again.
Dosa Hut does amazing masala dosas. This time I tried their chicken lollipop with Kerala paratha and it was very tasty with the mint sauce. Their prices are also very reasonable
Even though this is in a part of town that I would not visit at night, it is still the most amazing Indian food around. Authentic southern Indian food and wow the tastes are mind blowing! Gem of joburg
What a great place, good variety of food. Service was great. Food is amazing drinks is very cool. A must in fordsburg. Their house special fish curry is a must.
We planned to go for weekend dinner. As I am an South Indian I love eating parotta. Whenever I go I order only this kerala parotta with some curry. I order karaikudi lamb. I really enjoy eating his combo. Lamb is so tender. And it's exactly like our origin taste. And side we order tandoori chicken. It's like kinda hard some pieces. But the masala is fresh. So not wow factor. But it's OK. Ll
I like the service waiters are so humble.
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.
The area is a bit sketchy to some but the food really makes it worth the trip. Really authentic South Indian flavors. Crispy masala dosa, flakey Kerala style paratha, chettinad spices. The list will go on and on. Spice level just medium so that you can still taste all the complexities of real South Indian cuisine. This restaurant will stay on my list to visit again and again.
And I did visit again and again, mostly for the veg items. The masala dosa is so consistently good.
The Kerala style paratha I had on my last visit was excellent as well.
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.
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.
Love love love this place. The prices are also not bad at all. Love this place. The fresh juices is something u won't get anywhere else. It's original and unic in its own way. There is too much variety on the menu. Chicken 65 was awesome. Lamb karai was good. Chicken tikka was amazing. Best butter chicken I ever ate. 😋
I love their food , honestly one of the best indian and more specifically southern indian food resturants out there. The masala dosa is a must try
Good food and servings are generous. If you have kids ask for something mild because all that we ordered where hot. It's a very unique blend of spices that one does not commonly taste. Appart from our wobbly table the service was friendly and accommodating.
Absolutely delicious South Indian food, the flavors are amazing. I don't normally enjoy cauliflower but the Gobi Manchoorian was so good. Just the taste of it with the naan was divine. Loved the pani puri, paneer dosa and Uthappam. We also tired the bombay crush, which was very nice. The masala wasn't strong like I normally like it but that's my own preference. Prices are reasonable and staff are friendly. Would definitely recommend trying Dosa Hut out for an authentic food experience.
Best Indian food in jhb! The food was so delicious 😋 definitely visiting them again.
Wonderful good. The place is really busy and we had to wait awhile but the food was worth it.
Parking is horrible.
Excellent service, accompanied by good food, lovely place for a family get together.
