Hothi's Indian Cuisine - Epping

Great curries of India, same consistency and same owner and family. Good samosas and paratha and perfectly cooked rice. Small eat in area with water serviettes and proper cutlery provided, prompt service and has stood the test of time on the Beecroft road array of changing eteries.

They give small portions,Its expensive.And very poor flavour in many of the currys,like water almost.When I was there I arrived 20mins before closing ,I was trying to eat my small portion meal,when the manager comes over,an older man with glasses,and says we are about to close in an unfriendly rude manner.I still left before the close time also but felt rushed.I mean I just spent $20 and the guy can't even give me a few moments to finish my meal in peace?I guess not.I know if I ran a restaurant I would value my customers and even wait an extra 20 mins or so after closing or a reasonable time,just to be nice and hospitable to them and show I value them eating at my establishment.you don't get that at hothis Epping though,it's all business here and rushed out the door.Avoid

Hothi's has been an Epping staple since the 1990s, and there's good reason for its popularity. Its simple range of delicious home-style Indian dishes is a winner. Just walk into the shop and smell the fresh spices. I always over-order here. Lucky that Indian food makes for great left-overs! It's hard to go past their freshly-baked naan breads, ruby chicken tikka and vegetable samosas for starters. Curries are full-flavoured and well-balanced; if you like hot, try one of their Vindaloos. A plain or mango lassi will help put the fire out.Expect the standard Indian desserts: kulfi and gulab jaman... both very nice.This is not designed to be a sit-down restaurant. There are tables, but don't come expecting restaurant ambience. Just get a takeaway and enjoy the great food!

I've eaten in a variety of indian restaurants from high end cuisine to a simple takeaway. And this is one of my favourite restaurants. Staff is friendly and the food amazing.

Hothi's is a firm favourite for a takeaway curry. There is a good selection of popular Indian dishes such as beef vindaloo, butter chicken, rogan josh palak paneer and several vegetable curries. Portions are generous and Well priced between $11 and $15 for a large container. The Basmati rice is fluffy, the samosas delicious and the naan just the thing to scoop up the sauce. Eating in is an option and the thalis would make a satisfying lunch. A great local takeaway.
