Dosa Hut
/
Having opened their first restaurant in 2006, Dosa Hut has won the hearts of Melbournians who travel from near and far for their Indian fix.
The restaurant serves classical Indian dishes with a fresh twist, focusing on quality ingredients. Fresh and full of spices is the name of the game and it is easy to understand why the restaurant is almost always bustling and full to the brim.
Owners Anil and Praveen met in Australia when they were completing their Masters in Telecommunications back in 2002. After successfully completing their Masters qualifications, passion called them to a different route. So, instead of following the path of least resistance, they followed their culinary dreams and opened a restaurant in 2005 - Salaam Namaste (Barkly Street).
After 2 years of experience in the food industry, Anil and Praveen heard Melbourne's cry for a different style of Indian cuisine and Dosa Hut was born. As the name suggests, the dosa is the heart and soul of the eatery. Dosa is a popular South Indian pancake which is celebrated all over India. The menu started off simple but today, Dosa Hut boasts a menu of over 100 types of dosa with locations in every state in the country.
Apart from Dosa Hut's legendary dosa, an absolute must have is their hyderabadi dum biriyani (an extremely popular item which sees 600 serves on a weekend). The goat biriyani in particular impressed with its luscious morsels of tender goat served alongside perfectly cooked basmati.
Another favourite of ours on the Dosa Hut menu is their Indian-Chinese fusion dishes - brilliant. An adaptation of Chinese seasoning and cooking techniques to Indian tastes, the result is an explosion of flavour that leaves you wanting more. A week later and we’re still salivating over the Chicken 65 - spicy, deep-fried boneless morsels of chicken. Just. Yum!
Dosa Hut will soon launch a new tiffin special where guests can order a four tier tiffin filled with briyani, curries and dessert! These legends are still working out the details so keep your eye peeled.
