I visited Dosa Hut in East Hartford (on Main Street, easy to find with plenty of parking around) and overall had a really good experience. The Onion Chilli Rava Masala Dosa was the star—crispy, well-seasoned, and served hot. I also tried the Tiffin Box, which was a nice combination and definitely good value for money. The only thing that fell short for me was the idli—it wasn’t as soft and fluffy as it should be. Inside, the restaurant has a casual, family-friendly vibe with a decent amount of seating. It’s simple but clean, and service was quick. Prices are very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes, which makes it a great option for a casual meal. What really surprised me was the bakery section inside—they have a huge selection of eggless cakes, beautifully decorated and very tempting. It adds a unique twist, since you can grab a South Indian meal and then pick up a cake for later. Overall, Dosa Hut is a solid spot in East Hartford if you’re craving South Indian food at fair prices, with the bonus of an impressive eggless cake collection. I’ll definitely be back for the dosas and to try more from the bakery!

A Taste of India in East Hartford: Dosa Hut Delivers on Flavor and Speed ​Dosa Hut in East Hartford is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic South Indian cuisine. The food is, in a word, awesome. Every dish is a flavorful journey, and the dosas are particularly noteworthy, crisp, thin, and filled with deliciousness. The menu offers a wide variety of options, ensuring there's something to please every palate, whether you're a fan of spicy curries or savory crepes. ​Beyond the fantastic food, the service is remarkably fast, which is a huge plus, especially during peak hours. The staff is efficient and friendly, ensuring your dining experience is smooth from start to finish. ​However, a word of caution for those planning a visit: the space can get quite challenging. The arrangements are a bit close to each other, which can feel a little cramped, especially when the restaurant is busy. For this reason, I highly recommend making a reservation, particularly if you're dining with a larger group or during a popular time. ​A hidden gem within Dosa Hut is their eggless bakery section. Be sure to check it out! They offer a delightful selection of baked goods that are perfect for a sweet ending to your meal or to take home for later. ​In summary, Dosa Hut is a culinary delight that excels in both flavor and speed. While the seating can be tight, the outstanding food and quick service more than make up for it. Just remember to call ahead for a reservation!

The food and service was very great especially the Tomato soup and the Onion Chilli Mushroom Garlic Uthapam with Palak Paneer. The best part about this experience was the quick service.

Summary – New branch of Dosa Hut (original in Rocky Hill) that serves South Indian food. Prices are reasonable and portions are good. There is plenty of parking and few tables for a dine in option. (Full Review Below) Atmosphere – The restaurant is located in the Apna Bazaar plaza in East Hartford, CT. Route 5. The plaza is in a very safe area. It just opened and is clean. The dining area can probably fit about 50 to 75 people. It does feel tight. Expect to wait on weekends. There’s also Hot Bread inside the restaurant which sells cakes (please check out my review on it posted separately) Parking – Plenty of free parking within the plaza. Service – Service was okay. We did go on grand opening day, so it was very busy, but we got the table right away and the food did come quickly. Food – We ordered Onion Rava Masala Dosa and Mini Idli and Medu Vada. All items came with Sambar, Coconut and Tangy Chutney. All items were decent. Idli and Medu Vada were thoroughly cooked. The taste is same as the Rocky Hill branch. I suspect all other items will be good and taste just like the one at the Rocky Hill branch. Price - Very reasonable prices on all menu items. Probably the cheapest prices on Dosa and the Appetizer items in CT for the South Indian restaurant. Rating: Atmosphere: 4 out of 5 Parking: 5 out of 5 Service: 3 out of 5 Food: 4 out of 5 Price: 5 out of 5 Overall: 4 out of 5
